-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm not sure why it is crashing instead of playing, but it takes a minut or more because it is waiting for a whole MB of data to buffer before it plays. Edit /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf and find the line that says: cache = 1024 # Disk cache 1 MB and change it so that it says: cache = 64 # Disk cache 64 KB This will solve the problem of the extremely large buffer.
