If I use the buz video output to play a video, I get the video, and it looks 
fine.

However...Having done this, the mplayer process keeps running, and apparently 
has the buz card busied.  I cannot kill mplayer (kill -9, killall, whatever I 
try, mplayer stays in the process list).  If I try to rmmod zoran, zoran is 
busy (presumably by mplayer).

Problem becomes when I try to use the buz for anything else (watching tv, 
recording a signal to disk), my computer LOCKS UP tight.  No response to any 
mouse or keyboard input.  I have to reboot by hard reset!

Workaround, of course, is to reboot after playing video out to the TV.  But 
that's kinda a hokey workaround!

How do I kill mplayer (or better, why does it fail to let go of the buz 
card?).
