HHmm, does Mplayer SVN ship a Pulse plugin now? Or did you apply the patch I wrote a long time ago but which afaik never got merged? > I noticed that if I don't load module-x11-publish (or if I run > "pax11publish -r"), things work nicely.

Hmm, my instinct tells me that this probably has something to do with using TCP vs. using UNIX sockets. If you use module-x11-publish then the order of protocols that are published to X11 and thus are used by clients to connect to the PA server depend on the order the native protocol modules have been loaded into the server. If module-x11-publish is not used then UNIX sockets are always preferred over TCP sockets. If you use module-x11-published is used then it *might* be the other way round. Please paste what "pax11publish" (without any arguments) outputs! Most likely MPlayer is using very short buffers in PA. They can be smaller if you use UNIX sockets, and need to be a bit larger if you use TCP. By default they are chosen quite large, so that they are safe on all transports. I wonder why that is not sufficient on mplayer. Lennart -- Lennart Poettering Red Hat, Inc. lennart [at] poettering [dot] net ICQ# 11060553 http://0pointer.net/lennart/ GnuPG 0x1A015CC4
