[K12OSN] Discussion on sound (not meant as a rant)

[David Hopkins]

A little more on the continue saga of getting mplayer with the gui to work.

mplayer runs solidly now, playing all the videos that I have tried from
UnitedStreaming provided I start it from a terminal session.  I have not
gotten either the gui interface nor the plugin to work properly.

GUI:  For the gui, it launches but the moment you start a clip, it freezes.
Now, the only clue I have is that if you try to then open a terminal session
after launching gmplayer, the terminal session also freezes.  Is there a
possibility that the gui is trying to write to std out and can't so it
freezes?  If I execute a CTRL-C for the terminal window, I then get the
prompt back, and can kill gmplayer.

Plugin:  The plugin shows as loaded, and shows that it is
downloading/buffering, but then on playback, I do not get anything, no
picture, no sound.

Sincerely,
Dave Hopkins
