[MPlayer-users] MPlayer with gui enabled playback probs

[Peter vdM]

Hi all,
	if I compile mplayer with gui enabled I get this message 
when I try to play any file

--
         ************************************************

Possible reasons, problems, workarounds:
- Most common: broken/buggy _audio_ driver
  - Try -ao sdl or use ALSA 0.5 or the OSS emulation of ALSA 0.9.
  - Experiment with different values for -autosync, 30 is a good start.
- Slow video output
  - Try a different -vo driver (-vo help for a list) or try -framedrop!
- Slow CPU
--
 etc
The playback is jerky as is the sound.
Now I've tried all the suggestions of -ao and -vo but if I recompile mplayer 
without the gui enabled it can play the files fine, anyone know what might be 
screwy here?
This is on kernel 2.6.4 on a P4 2.8Ghz machine with 1gb of ram.
