This isn't the list for problems with VNC or esound, but since it's quick and dirty... Use -beeps to make sure esd and your sound setup is working, and the use of -promiscuous is commonly required with Windows. If it doesn't work... it's certainly not MPlayer's fault... Make sure you can get other apps working with ESD. -- Ha. I'm the idiot.
