[MPlayer-users] mplayer play 4 audio chn file to jack

[andre castro]

Thanks Reimar, but didn't work
mplayer2 test_4chan_2.wav -channels 4 -ao jack:noconnect
trows an error, it doesn't recognize the noconnect argument
Could not parse arguments at the position indicated below:
noconnect
^

-ao jack commandline help:
Example: mplayer -ao jack:port=myout
   connects MPlayer to the jack ports named myout

Options:
   port=<port name>
     Connects to the given ports instead of the default physical ones
   name=<client name>
     Client name to pass to JACK
   estimate
     Estimates the amount of data in buffers (experimental)
   autostart
     Automatically start JACK server if necessary
Failed to initialize audio driver 'jack:noconnect'
Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound.
Audio: no sound
Video: no video


Do you reckon, that if I compile a more recent version, I will be able to use noconnect?

cheers
