[mplayer] MPEG-2 sound problem

[Paul Holcomb]

 I've been unsucessful in getting any MPEG-2 videos to play correctly
 with sound.  I've tried both mpeg's that I have created with an
 encoder board and those from DVD's.

 They start out with the video displayed, but stopped, and the sound
 playing and then the player errors out on a bad frame, and the video starts.

 If I play the mpg with the -nosound option, the video is perfect, but
 even if I use the null output option the sound is broken.

 I've tried using the -noalsa and -delay options, with no change in
 behavior.  

 I'm using a 2.4.1 kernel on an Athlon box with a Fiji Multisound card
 and the included OSS driver from the kernel for sound, output is
 through the syncfb driver (WORKS GREAT!), if any of this helps.

 Also, xine plays at least the mpeg-2 files from the encoder board
 with no sound problems.


 Here is a sample of a command line:

# ./mplayer -afm 1 -vo syncfb /MPEG-2/test.mpg

Any ideas?
