[MPlayer-users] [BUG?] Problem with -ao pcm

[yardbird]

Hi,
maybe I found a bug in MPlayer. I noticed that with "-ao pcm" the "-frames" 
options does not work well: MPlayer exits some frames before those specified. 
For example:

yardbird at roby video $ mplayer -vo null -vc null  -ao pcm -frames 500

It played 481 frames instead of 500. This happens on every file I tried. Can 
anyone confirm? Is this a (known?) bug? I'm using 0.90RC5 and gcc 3.2.2.
Best regards,
