So far as I can tell there once was http://avisynth.sf.net which no longer 
exists.  Don't know if that was a worm put up on sf.net or not but it's 
been taken down since.  For that reason unless I find other sites than the 
site I sent last night that do not use avisynth.dll on them or unless what 
I copy off a windows machine works mplayer is useless.

Hmm.  following T.V. Raman's posting on the emacspeak a while ago,
I've recently compiled mplayer from  source and grabbed all the
codecs.  Worked fine.  Note that on my machine I had to enable 
./configure --enable-gpl --enable-pp
when compiling the  ffmpeg stuff.  
Very nice indeed to have realaudio etc back
I forget, did you try the source route?

Mplayer

[Jan and Bertil Smark Nilsson]

Greetings,

Mplayer works fine when playing .wav files when I do

 	mplayer <filename>

However, when I try to make it work at some future time doing

 	at <time>
 	mplayer <filename>
 	ctrl-d

there is no sound, but the mail that's sent to me shows that it is 
playing. If I use aplay instead of mplayer, it works ok.

I realise that this is not a blinux type of problem, but I thought I'd try 
here first, since I'm not subscribed to the mplayer list.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi,
It might be that the soundcard is locked by a software synthesizer which 
is talking when the at time arrives?
if you use speakup, make sure it is silent and do a test.
Regards, Willem

mplayer

[Jude DaShiell]

Has anyone figured out mplayer for playing DVD's yet?  I got it built and
installed and reading the man page appears very complex!  I figure for my
level of blindness I'd like menu access for menus on the DVD's themselves
so I'd be able to listen to movies on them.  I'd need some facility where
I could read titles of DVD's so I'd know which disk was in the player at
any given time.  The pictures I don't really need though.  I notice some
DVD's only provide music and not actual sound tracks of movies and I ended
up buying at least one of these.  I have a DVD drive on my machine also
linked to /dev/dvd too so mplayer shouldn't have a problem finding the
drive.

Can mplayer handle .asx and .asf streams?
I haven't managed to make it work so far.
It tells me to compile it in at compile time, which I thought I did already.
Example, can you play this radio stream?

my compiled version did get this stream without troubles.
