Description Łukasz Mierzwa 2004-11-11 13:22:36 UTC 
Little error in mplayer-1.0_pre5-r4 ebuild:

[...]
	if use alsa ; then
		einfo "For those using alsa, please note the vo driver name is no longer"
		einfo "alsa9x or alsa1x.  It is now just 'alsa' (omit quotes)."
		einfo "The syntax for optional drivers has also changed.  For example"
		einfo "if you use a dmix driver called 'dmixer,' use"
		einfo "vo=alsa:device=dmixer instead of vo=alsa:dmixer"
		einfo "Some users may not need to specify the extra driver with the vo="
		einfo "command."
	fi
[...]

shouldn't there be "ao=alsa" instead of "vo=alsa"? "vo=driver" is for video driver setup, "ao=driver" is for sound.

Yes. -vo is video output -ao is audio output.
Comment 2 Chris White (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-05 18:32:41 UTC 
Already fixed in both pre5-r5 and pre6, which are the latest stable and unstable.
