This is how I send mplayer output to my TV: /usr/bin/xinit /usr/bin/xterm -ut -e $HOME/bin/$PROG \ $MOVIE -- /usr/bin/X :1 -layout TV & With F8, I get not sound at all, unless I execute the above command as root. Then I created an audio group for myself and added to /etc/security/console.perms.d/50- default.perms: # roma <sound>=/dev/dsp* /dev/audio* /dev/midi* \ /dev/mixer* /dev/sequencer* \ /dev/sound/* /dev/beep \ /dev/snd/* /dev/adsp* ..... # roma <console> 0660 <sound> 0660 root.audio This allows me to get sound without being root (even logged in remotely in a console). >> BTW: It is a feature, not a bug that PA pauses playback when you >> switch to a different session.

I tried to contact the audacious team via IRC, and they said: "roma, I really do not care" I tried, yesterday, the latest version, 1.4.2, and got the same result. > vlc: NO plugin available. >> I'd assume that this one works fine with our plugin for ALSA. Yes. But it also works fine with ESD. >> Yes, I will have another look on the whole Xine situation. xine and gxine do not work with pulse plugin (the connection is lost after a few seconds), but totem does (it is based on xine, right?). What is the difference? I use a self compiled version of xine and gxine with all of the codecs enabled, and I have no problem using them with the ESD plugin.

There is a slight hiccup (missing of sound) from time to time. It is very fast,and it does not seem to be related to the amount of processing on my computer: Core 2 duo, 2.1GHz, 2GB ram, x86_64, F8 Thanks. </pre>-- Paulo Roma Cavalcanti LCG - UFRJ
