[MPlayer-users] no sound when trying to select aid

[Steven A. DuChene]

I am using MPlayer 1.0rc2 on OpenSuSE 10.2 on an x86_64 system
and I am attempting to choose an audio stream different than the default
in a VOB file I have. The default audio stream if I do NOT try to specify
a particular aid stream plays fine but it has the directors commentary
in it. I.E. when I do the following:

mplayer VTS_051.VOB

the video pops up and I hear audio just fine but it is not the audio stream
I would like to hear.

When I do the above I get the following:

If I try any of the following:

mplayer -aid 0xBD VTS_05_1.VOB

mplayer -aid 0xBF VTS_05_1.VOB

It says it is not going to play sound:

Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed?
For AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option.

however I still get the video stream part of the file popping up on the screen
but with no sound.

Is there something I am doing wrong in specifying the aid stream I want?

BTW I used something called bbdmux to list the available streams within the file
and I got the follwoing:

bbDMUX - version 1.7, by Brent Beyeler (beyeler at home.com)
  speed increases by, Apachez and Christian Vogelgsang

Scanning for stream id's, press control-c to quit ...

File /home/sad/youngfrank/VTS_05_1.VOB is an MPEG-2 Program Stream

Found stream id 0xBF  = Private Stream 2
Found stream id 0xE0  = Video Stream 0
Found stream id 0xBD  = Private Stream 1
Found stream id 0xBE  = Padding Stream


any suggestions are most welcome.
