Hello Colin and Daniel! I just found the following Ubuntu PPA repo: https://launchpad.net/~scottritchie/+archive/ppa which includes the latest release of OpenAL. I installed it and now mplayer works fine. Yay! Daniel: *Please* backport it to Lucid (lucid-updates or lucid-backport). I am sure it breaks on many systems. Colin: If you can break the freeze, perhaps this is the moment. The latest release of OpenAL solves the problems I had. Thank you all!
