( pulse , hw:0,0 or plug:dmix:0 ) Indeed, when I specify a device (hw:0,0), it works ! So, I have some questions because I don't really understand why... First, what's the default device used by MPlayer with ALSA ? How can I see that ? Does it create a latency which causes trouble to MPlayer to decode audio sample in time ? What device do you recommend ? Is there a good tutorial explaining that ? A last thing : I have noticed that if the pourcentage is now smaller than before at the beginning, it's continually increasing throughout the playback. Is this normal? Thanks, Pierre
