manpage: merge new manpage
About a year ago, ubitux converted most of the old manpage from the
hard to maintain nroff format to reStructuredText. This was not merged
back into the master repository immediately. The argument was that the
new manpage still required work to be done. However, progress was very
slow. Even worse: the old manpage wasn't updated, because it was
scheduled for deletion, and updating it would have meant useless work.
Now the situation is that the new manpage still isn't finished, and the
old manpage is grossly out of sync with the player. This is not helpful
for users. Additionally, keeping the new manpage in a separate branch,
while the normal development repository for code had the old manpage,
was very inconvenient, because you couldn't just update the
documentation in the same commit as the code.
Even though the new manpage isn't finished yet, merging it now seems to
be the best course of action. Squash-merge the manpage development
branch [1], revision e89f5dd3f2, which branches from the mplayer2
master branch after revision 159102e0cb.

|
|
should be used. On BSD systems, ``--ao=oss`` or `--ao=sndio`` may work

ao_alsa: disable ALSA resampling by default again
This partially reverts commit 7d152965. It turns out that at least some
ALSA drivers (at least snd-hda-intel) report incorrect audio delay with
non-native sample rates, even if the sample rate is only very slightly
different from the native one.
For example, 48000Hz is fine on my hda-intel system, while both 8000Hz
and 47999Hz lead to a delay off by 40ms (according to mpv's A/V
difference display), which suggests that something in ALSA is
calculating the delay using the wrong sample rate.
As an additional problem, with ALSA resampling enabled, using
48001Hz/float/2ch fails, while 49000Hz/float/2ch or 48001Hz/s16/2ch
work. With resampling disabled, all these cases work obviously, because
our own resampler doesn't just refuse any of these formats.
Since some people want to use the ALSA resampler (because it's highly
configurable, supports multiple backends, etc.), we still allow enabling
ALSA resampling with an ao_alsa suboption.

Select the standard channel layout (default: alsa). JACK itself has no
|
|
|
|
|
notion of channel layouts (i.e. assigning which speaker a given
|
|
|
|
|
channel is supposed to map to) - it just takes whatever the application
|
|
|
|
|
outputs, and reroutes it to whatever the user defines. This means the
|
2013-07-08 16:02:14 +00:00
|
|
|
user and the application are in charge of dealing with the channel
|
2013-07-07 16:37:55 +00:00
|
|
|
layout. ``alsa`` uses the old MPlayer layout, which is inspired by
|
|
|
|
|
ALSA's standard layouts. In this mode, ao_jack will refuse to play 3
|
2013-07-08 16:02:14 +00:00
|
|
|
or 7 channels (because these do not really have a defined meaning in
|
|
|
|
|
MPlayer). ``waveext`` uses WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE order, which, even
|
2013-07-07 16:37:55 +00:00
|
|
|
though it was defined by Microsoft, is the standard on many systems.
|
|
|
|
|
The value ``any`` makes JACK accept whatever comes from the audio
|
|
|
|
|
filter chain, regardless of channel layout and without reordering. This
|
2013-07-08 16:02:14 +00:00
|
|
|
mode is probably not very useful, other than for debugging or when used

manpage: merge new manpage
About a year ago, ubitux converted most of the old manpage from the
hard to maintain nroff format to reStructuredText. This was not merged
back into the master repository immediately. The argument was that the
new manpage still required work to be done. However, progress was very
slow. Even worse: the old manpage wasn't updated, because it was
scheduled for deletion, and updating it would have meant useless work.
Now the situation is that the new manpage still isn't finished, and the
old manpage is grossly out of sync with the player. This is not helpful
for users. Additionally, keeping the new manpage in a separate branch,
while the normal development repository for code had the old manpage,
was very inconvenient, because you couldn't just update the
documentation in the same commit as the code.
Even though the new manpage isn't finished yet, merging it now seems to
be the best course of action. Squash-merge the manpage development
branch [1], revision e89f5dd3f2, which branches from the mplayer2
master branch after revision 159102e0cb.
Committers:
* Clément Bœsch <ubitux@gmail.com> (Initial conversion to RST.)
* Uoti Urpala <uau@mplayer2.org> (Many updates.)
* Myself (Minor edits.)
Most text of the manpage has been directly taken from the old manpage,
because this is a conversion, not a complete rewrite.
