Hi everybody
after i did an upgrade, mplayer started to have problems, the video shows fine, but the sound is choppy almost unrecognizable, i have tried reconfiguring my sound driver with alsaconf and i delete my .xine file but it still the same i also try reinstalling mplayer but that didn't work either
noatun and kaboodle won't even start, if i try from konsole i don't get any warning or advise, it just stall without doing anything
VLC works fine.
Kaffeine works fine too.
any ideas ?
thanks for your help

Is it giving any error messages?
Try switching between alsa/oss with -ao.
Is something playing in the background? 'lsof +d /dev/snd'

i did a little more testing and i found:
Mplayer:
plays mp4 without problems
plays avi without problems (only from konsole using -ao alsa )
if i use -ao oss the sound is bad.
vlc:
plays both mp4 and avi without problems
kaffeine:
also plays both mp4 and avi although it says that it cannot find the opengl driver
kaboodle and noatun won't start if i try from konsole i got no error messages but the application never start, if i try from the kde menu the app start but it stall when i open a file.
amarok works fine with the xine engine and alsa output so i don't think is a sound problem, i'm suspecting more of a driver issue maybe, but is strange that some apps work and some does not.
on the other hand it could be something related to "oss" is there a way to make sure that my system is using alsa?, i marked the option on the kde control panel but i'm not so sure anymore

i tried 'lsof +d /dev/snd' but it says the command doesn't exist.
