[linux-audio-user] Mplayer JACK output in Ubuntu Edgy?

[Louis Acresti]

I posted a topic about this on the Ubuntu user forums
(http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2354233#post2354233),
but I figured LAU was well-suited for this query as well:

Lately I've been using an external USB synthesizer as my main
soundcard in ubuntu (much better than my onboard) but a lot of apps I
use don't support JACK, which is the only way (and the preferable way)
to get audio output.

The one app that I really wish worked with JACK (out of the box) was
Mplayer. I really want JACK audio output with mplayer, but I don't
want to compile mplayer myself. Does anyone know of a binary .deb of
mplayer that contains support for JACK (ala mplayer -ao jack) ?

I can't find any related topics about this; perhaps it's just me?

I'm running Edgy:

>>$ mplayer -ao help
