mplayer-plugin+esd

How can i change the sound output of the mplayer-plugin on esd please ?
it tries to start mplayer with alsa output and no video is played. First i didn't know what's wrong, but if i just use from the shell

mplayer aaa.avi 

it won't play, it says something about sound beig busy, and

mplayer -ao esd aaa.avi

works just fine.
so i killed esd and the videos are played just fine.
can anyone help please ?

Re: mplayer-plugin+esd

just add "ao=esd" to your ~/.mplayer/config file, if you want to continue using esd. or you could configure dmix for alsa, too, but for me this did not work properly (everthing sounded like crap).
edit: use "ao=esd,alsa," this way mplayer tries esd, then alsa and if both do not work it searches for another driver.

Re: mplayer-plugin+esd

no problem, i had the same problem, as i used mplayer on arch for the first time. i could not zoom the video and the framerate was horrible (then i added vo=x11, zoom=yes framedrop=yes)
