I lam listening to RTL radio.fr. It uses
Realplayer for previous (listen

trying to get any version of WMP working under Wine, but Mplayerplugin is
working ok, but appears to be using OSS, as does RealPlayer.
Mplayer is setup to use Alsa, but Mplayerplugin's /etc/mplayerplugin.conf
indicates defaults for aRts, esd, and oss. Does anyone know if it
actually is supposed to work with Alsa.
yep. works great here. although i recently switched to ao=jack since jackd
1.0.2 no longer segfaultks with divide by zero errors in the alsa-interface
callback every 5 minutes like previous versions.
fwiw, every line in my /etc/mplayerplug-in.conf is commented out, so its
just using whatever is in /etc/mplayer.conf. which makes getting audio
running smoothly easy to debug.
note also, that WMV and RealMedia are supported in recent versions of
FFMPEG. so update that, and your mplayer, and you cna proably remove your
proprietary codecs...which could possibly improve playback
reliability..since its not using a hacked dlopen and weird pointer tricks
to run windows binaries...
Thanks Carmen. I'll have a look at that tomorow. It's getting a bit late here
now, and my brains feeling a bit fried. My jack-audio-connection-kit on FC2
is only version-0.99.36-0.2.cvs.rhfc2.ccrma, so perhaps I may have problems
with that. Are these denormals problems you are talking about that are
causing the jackd segfaults?
I'll also have a good look at Mplayer to make sure it's using Alsa. The
version I have installed is MPlayer-1.0pre7try2.tar.bz2. I'll look for an
update for it, and also for FFMPEG.
Nigel.
