|
<P>The fact is, Linux soundcard drivers are usually bad, and always as
|
|
incompatible as they can be. It MAY take a while to find your optimal settings.</P>
|
|
<P><UL>
|
|
<LI>if you have OSS as driver, first try with <I>-ao oss</I> (this is the default).
|
|
If you experience glitches, halts or anything out of the ordinary, have a
|
|
look at <I>-ao sdl</I> (NOTE: of course you'll have to have a new SDL library and its
|
|
devel pair installed). It helps in a lot of cases (it also supports ESD, ARTS, and
|
|
up/downsampling. /esd is GNOME's, arts is KDE's sound daemon/).</LI>
|
|
<LI>if you have ALSA version 0.5, then you ALMOST always have to use <I>-ao alsa5</I> ,
|
|
since 0.5 has buggy OSS emulation code, and will <B>crash MPlayer</B> with
|
|
a message like this:<BR>
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<CODE>DEMUXER: Too many (945 in 8390980 bytes) video packets in the buffer!</CODE></UL>
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI>if you have ALSA version 0.9, use <I>-ao oss</I> or <I>-ao sdl</I> as you
|
|
wish. You can also use <I>-ao alsa9</I> as it works now, however it has many
|
|
problems (losing sync, disappearing audio, etc).</LI>
|
|
</UL></P>
|
|
|
|
<P>On <B>Solaris/FreeBSD</B> systems, use the SUN audio driver with the
|
|
<I>-ao sun</I> option, otherwise you'll have no video, nor audio playing.</P>

<P><UL>
|
|
<LI>on Linux, use at least kernel 2.4 if possible, 2.2 isn't tested
|
|
<LI>if sound clicks when playing from CD-ROM, turn on IRQ unmasking !
|
|
for example "hdparm -u1 /dev/cdrom" (see "man hdparm" !!!)
|
|
This is recommended anyways... (for XMMS, etc...)
|
|
Read section <A HREF="cd-dvd.html#4.1">4.1</A>.
|
|
<LI>don't use your soundcard by other application ( for ex. XMMS ) !
|
|
if you use ESD, start MPlayer with the '-vo sdl:esd' option !
|
|
<LI>Please tell us how MPlayer and your soundcard(s) worked together!

<P><B><A NAME=2.3.2.2>2.3.2.2. Audio plugins</A></B></P>
|
|
|
|
<P><B>MPlayer</B> has support for audio plugins. Audio plugins can be used for
|
|
changing the properties of the audio data before the sound reaches the sound
|
|
card. They are enabled using the <CODE>-aop</CODE> switch followed by the
|
|
<CODE>list=plugin1,plugin2,...</CODE> switch. The <CODE>list</CODE> switch is
|
|
required and determines which plugins that should be used and in which order
|
|
they should be executed, example:
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
<P> <CODE>mplayer media.avi -aop list=resample,format</CODE></P>
|
|
|
|
<P>would run the sound through the resampling plugin followed by the format
|
|
plugin.
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>The plugins can also have switches that changes their behaviour. These
|
|
switches are explained in detail in the sections below. A plugin will execute
|
|
using default settings if it's switches are omitted. Example of how to use
|
|
plugins in combination with plugin specific switches:
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
<P> <CODE>mplayer media.avi -aop
|
|
list=resample,format:fout=48000:format=0x8</CODE>
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>would set the output frequency of the resample plugin to 44100Hz and the
|
|
output format of the format plugin to AFMT_U8.
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>Currently audio plugins can not be used in <B>MEncoder</B>.</P>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P><B><A NAME=2.3.2.2.1>2.3.2.2.1. Up/Downsampling</A></B></P>
|
|
|
|
<P><B>MPlayer</B> fully supports up/down sampling of the sound. This plugin can
|
|
for example be used if you have a fixed frequency sound card or if you are
|
|
stuck with an olqd sound card that is only capable of max 44.1kHz.
|
|
Limitations in your hardware are not auto detected, so you have to specify
|
|
the sample frequency explicitly. This plugin has one switch:
|
|
<CODE>fout</CODE> which is used for setting the desired output sample
|
|
frequency, it defaults to 48kHz, and is given in
|
|
<Hz>.
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>Usage :<BR>
|
|
<CODE>mplayer media.avi -aop list=resample:fout=<required
|
|
frequency in Hz, like 44100></CODE></P>
|
|
|

|
<P><B><A NAME=2.3.2.2.2>2.3.2.2.2. Surround Sound decoding</A></B></P>
|
|
|
|
<P><B>MPlayer</b> has an audio plugin that can decode matrix encoded
|
|
surround sound. Dolby Surround is an example of a matrix encoded format.</p>
|
|
|
|
<P>Many files with 2 channel audio actually contain matrixed surround
|
|
sound.</p>
|
|
|
|
<P>To use this feature, you will need a sound-card supporting at least 4 channels.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>Usage :<BR>
|
|
<CODE>mplayer media.avi -aop list=surround</CODE></P>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P><B><A NAME=2.3.2.2.3>2.3.2.2.3. Sample format converter</A></B></P>
|
|
|
|
<P>If your sound card driver doesn't support signed 16bit int, this plugin can
|
|
be used to change the format to one which your sound card can understand. It
|
|
has one switch <CODE>format</CODE> which can be set to one of the numbers
|
|
found in libao2/afmt.h. This plugin is hardly ever needed and is intended for
|
|
advanced users. Observe that this plugin only changes the sample format and
|
|
not the sample frequency or the number of channels.
|
|
</P>
|
|
|

<P>Usage :<BR>
|

<CODE>mplayer media.avi -aop

|
|
<P><B><A NAME=2.3.2.2.4>2.3.2.2.4. Delay</A></B></P>
|
|
|
|
<P>This plugin delays the sound and is intended as an example of how to develop
|
|
new plugins. It can not be used for anything useful from users perspective
|
|
and is mentioned here for the sake of completeness only. Do not use this
|
|
plugin unless you are a developer.</P>
