Hello, MPlayer SVN-r30193-4.3 opensuse v11.1 linux 2.6.27.39-0.2-default x86_64 While attempting to play an audio MP3 clip: [AO OSS] audio_setup: Can't open audio device /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy DVB card number must be between 1 and 4 AO: [null] 22050Hz 2ch s16le (2 bytes per sample) Video: no video I tried the suggestion in the FAQ that addressed this very question; no joy there. Here is what configure.log has to say about ALSA: ============ Checking for ALSA audio ============ #include <sys/time.h> #include <sys/asoundlib.h> #if !((SND_LIB_MAJOR == 0) && (SND_LIB_MINOR == 5)) #error "alsa version != 0.5.x" #endif int main(void) { return 0; } cc -Wundef -Wdisabled-optimization -Wno-pointer-sign -Wdeclaration-after-statement -std=gnu99 -Wall -Wno-switch -Wpointer-arith -Wredundant-decls -O4 -march=native -mtune=native -pipe -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -I. -D_REENTRANT -ffast-math -lncurses -lpng -lz -lXext -lX11 -lpthread -lXss -lXv -lXinerama -lXxf86vm -lXxf86dga -lGL -ldl -o /tmp/mplayer-conf-19375-12398 /tmp/mplayer-conf-30270-12398.c -lasound -ldl -lpthread /tmp/mplayer-conf-30270-12398.c:2:27: error: sys/asoundlib.h: No such file or directory /tmp/mplayer-conf-30270-12398.c:3:8: warning: "SND_LIB_MAJOR" is not defined /tmp/mplayer-conf-30270-12398.c:3:32: warning: "SND_LIB_MINOR" is not defined /tmp/mplayer-conf-30270-12398.c:4:2: error: #error "alsa version != 0.5.x" There are two or three other entries.
