[MPlayer-users] "Audio: no sound!!!" and debian rules

[Ottavio Campana]

Hi!

I just downloaded the last mplayer from  cvs and I installed it. I've go
a problem with the sound: I cannot hear it... :-(

With mplayer 0.18 everything worked fine  and I cannot understand why it
doesn't work.

My software/hardware is:

Debian potato 2.2r4
kernel 2.2.20
libc: 2.1.3
audio card: sound blaster 64 gold
driver: from kernel

Here's the output of mplayer:

With mplayer-0.18 I heard the sound.

What can I do?

Another thing:  I would change a  bit the rules for  building the debian
package. As it is  now, it cannot be installed on  a potato. The problem
is related  with libconfhelper-perl.  It isn't  aviable for  potato. For
allowing to  build it on this  distribution I have removed  the relative
entry in the control file and I've deleted the postinst script.

Ok, so  it doesn't configure it,  but it works.  I would at least  add a
README.potato file explaining how to install it on a potato :-)

Bye
