[MPlayer-users] Still no sound in QT6/AAC movie

[qmail at greboguru.org]

I read your message last week, and have been anticipating it's reply, as
I too cannot get any audio from a Quicktime file, other Quicktime files
work, but this type that uses audio format 0x6134706D, still appears to
elude me, I've tried it with faad (didn't compile) faad2 latest release,
and faad2 from CVS, none of which worked. Haven't managed to get the
audio in xine, but I'm using the stable debian xine, so it wasn't built
against faad-libs.

For posterity:

and I was so excited at the thought of finally being able to view almost
all video files under linux, and proper fullscreen which is something
apple still don't seem to have thought off.

Otherwise kudos to the mplayer team for an excellent (and needed) piece
of software.
