Hello All,

may anyone can help me ? Mplayer ist not playing sound anymore. I belive 
this happens after one of the latest updates. I get the error:
Opening audio decoder: [mp3lib] MPEG layer-2, layer-3
AUDIO: 44100 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 96.0 kbit/6.80% (ratio: 12000->176400)
Selected audio codec: [mp3] afm: mp3lib (mp3lib MPEG layer-2, layer-3)
==========================================================================
[AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: pcm_direct.c:1632:(snd_pcm_direct_parse_open_conf) 
Unknown field ipc_sem
[AO_ALSA] Playback open error: Invalid argument
Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound.
Audio: no sound
Starting playback...

I'm using FC 5 with a 2.6.18-prep SMP x86_64 kernel and
$rpm -qa | grep alsa
alsa-lib-1.0.14-0.1.rc1.fc5
alsa-lib-1.0.14-0.1.rc1.fc5
alsa-utils-1.0.14-0.1.rc1.fc5
alsa-lib-devel-1.0.14-0.1.rc1.fc5

$rpm -qa | grep mplayer
mplayer-1.0-0.72.20070325svn.lvn5
mplayer-fonts-1.1-3.lvn5

Why 2x alsa-lib-1.0.14-0.1.rc1.fc5 ? Delete it an reinstall ?

Thanks, Bernhard
