Hi, I have problems using Mplayer (MPlayer SVN-r30100-snapshot-4.4.1) with ALSA. I want to play a RTP stream accessed through RTSP. When I use Ethernet interface, audio playback works well but when I use Wifi, audio playback works most of the time but sometimes I have the following message : [AO_ALSA] Write error: Broken pipe Audio : 100.1% [AO_ALSA] Trying to reset soundcard. mplayer does not crash but plays silence during about one second. For information, I decode MP3 file using ffmp3 codec : Forced audio codec: ffmp3 Opening audio decoder: [ffmpeg] FFmpeg/libavcodec audio decoders AUDIO: 48000 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 256.0 kbit/16.67% (ratio: 32000->192000) Selected audio codec: [ffmp3] afm: ffmpeg (FFmpeg MPEG layer-3 audio) When I try with OSS, sound works well. Some commands results may help you : lspci | grep "Audio" 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 | grep Codec Codec: Realtek ALC268 iwconfig wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"Mobidic2" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.427 GHz Access Point: 00:20:A6:49:38:A4 Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:off Link Quality=51/70 Signal level=-59 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 lshw -C Network *-network description: Wireless interface product: AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter vendor: Atheros Communications Inc. physical id: 0 bus info: pci at 0000:03:00.0 logical name: wlan0 version: 01 serial: 00:23:4e:10:c9:79 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress msix bus_master cap_list ethernet physical wireless configuration: broadcast=yes driver=ath5k ip=10.11.129.212 latency=0 multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11bg resources: irq:18 memory:55200000-5520ffff Do you have any idea to fix this problem?
