I have two 5.1 sound cards in my machine and use the .asoundrc file to select the default device. my .asoundrc file contains: pcm.!default { type hw card Live } ctl.!default { type hw card Live } when playing stereo audio, mplayer will obey the .asoundrc and use whichever device is selected as the default. however, when playing 5.1 audio with "-channels 6", mplayer will always open the first device (0,0). This seems like unintended behaivor to me. _______________________________________________ MPlayer-users mailing list MPlayer-users@xxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mplayerhq.hu/mailman/listinfo/mplayer-users
