The snapshot of january as well as mplayer-1.0_pre7-r1 didn't pose this problem. mplayer works fine with oss (that is, after deleting ~/.mplayer/*) I have emerged mplayer with "-gtk" USE flag. $ cat /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.10. Compiled on Jan 30 2006 for kernel 2.6.15-gentoo-r1. I remerged alsa-driver too but of no help. May be helpful: I also changed my profile to 2005.1 to 2006.0, and I still have reboot my computer (though I don't know how it is necessary apart from loading the new recompiled alsa-driver).
Corrections: May be helpful: I also changed my profile *from* 2005.1 to 2006.0, and I still have *to* reboot my computer (though I don't know how it is necessary apart from loading the new recompiled alsa-driver).
There's no description of the problem here. What does "doesn't work with alsa" mean?

On my system, mplayer works but stops during playback in seemingly random places. The app isn't frozen, ffw and rew work, and typically if you rewind it and let it play it will play right past the spot where it froze before. Reverting to 1.0_pre7-r1 solved the issue for me.
Well it seems like I needed a reboot. Strange though, I learned when I used xine with alsa, which earlier was running for 'autodetect', probably detecting oss
The problem again crept in! Now I don't have any clue. Please someone else confirms.

I have no clue now. mplayer is working again! Btw, when it is not working with alsa and gives Audio: no sound error, it also doesn't work with arts but gives the output similar to that of David Morgan's (i.e., stucks at that line). But I am completely clueless now. I am wondering if I should have reported this or not.
I'm certainly not using arts.

I have quite a similar problem but on a ~amd64-System.

Well, I have just emerged installed Gentoo all over again and it seems, currently the problem is gone. I will report of any developement.
I'm experiencing almost the same things. Isn't this related to (or the same of) this other bug? http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=123841
Probabaly. Since my new install, I have faced this problem at random times. So I cannot say whether the problem is corrected now or not... I will update after a reasonable amount of time (testing).
Seems to me that mplayer has stopped playing nicely with dmix rather than alsa in general, since using -ao alsa:device=plughw works fine for me (where -ao alsa doesn't), and similar things were reported in that other bug. I guess the best thing to do would be to see if this happens with the latest mplayer cvs and then telling upstream about it, but I'm probably not going to have time to do that for at least a week.
My mplayer works also great with ao=alsa:device=plughw. Thanks for this tip. I am on amd64 architecture.
But I am having this problem: alsa-init: 1 soundcard found, using: plughw alsa-init: unable to set sw-parameters: Invalid argument Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound. Audio: no sound Starting playback... These are the options I am using in config file. ao=alsa:device=plughw vo=xv As I have stated earlier, using -ao oss works fine. The strange thing is, I haven't compiled oss in kernel, but emerged alsa-oss, so effectively it is always alsa. Any one with any clue?
this seems to be a dupe of bug 94577
Looks somewhat related...
So should I downgrade to alsa-1.0.8 or is there another way?
looks like you may: - fine tune your alsa configuration - use the oss out and the oss-alsa emulation I cannot reproduce the issue so I cannot spot what's wrong from here
Is this fixed for everyone with alsa-*-1.0.11_rc5? It seems to work for me now, anyway
Sorry but It doesn't for me but I use alsa-driver-1.0.11_rc5.
Sorry It doesn't work for me same with alsa-driver-1.0.11_rc5.
The alsa problem with mplayer-1.0.20060217 is fixed with mplayer-1.0.20060415. Great. Olivier Mondoloni
I cannot reproduce this bug now as I have switched all the applications to alsa-oss emulation and it is working fine. I am closing this bug for the time being. If any one has still problems please inform.
