Thanks Kenny, and Sean too. Okay, for the moment I have been able to build and install mplayer 1.0-pre7 with the supplied debian script, with options to disable the gui and the auto detection of the CPU. But still I am not getting alsa support. Here is the list of audio output devices: Available audio output drivers: mpegpes DVB audio output oss OSS/ioctl audio output null Null audio output pcm RAW PCM/WAVE file writer audio output Seems to me there were enough other improvements and bug fixes to justify using 1.0-pre7 over pre6, even if it means using the oss driver, so that is my current plan. Now to see what kind of mileage I get with this baby.
