Hi,

Thanks for your reply Reimar Döffinger.

Actually, I thought libmad was required for the mp3
support. I am able to cross-compile mplayer without
it.

The cramfs filesystem image provided by ARM has
/dev/dsp and /dev/mixer device files. 

But, where can I set these devices in command line?

Actually, when you cross-compile first, it ends with
error: cannot run codec-cfg. I followed the steps from
here:

Thanks.

Well its a little old, but quite useful for kernel and
device driver development. I just tried it out for
mplayer :) 

The GNU 2.95.3 cross-toolchain:

Thanks again,
