[MPlayer-dev-eng] Problems playing non-MPEG streams using RTSP

[Arpi]

Hi,

> ==> Found audio stream: 0
> Detected audio codec: [msgsmacm] afm:4 (MS GSM) Initializing audio codec...
> Opening audio decoder: [acm] Win32 ACM audio decoder ======= Win32 (ACM) 
> AUDIO Codec init ======= get_path('registry') ->

>    nSamplesPerSec 0
>    nAvgBytesPerSec 0
>    nBlockAlign 0
>    wBitsPerSample 0
>    cbSize 0

why is it so empty?

as you didn't provided info for the codec, about samplerate etc etc
the format itself is not sufficient for most codecs, they need the whole
WAVEFORMATEX (audio) or BITMAPINFOHEADER (video) filled

some native codecs, like ac3,mp3 work without these, but it's possible only with
audio/video formats containing every information (about channels, samplerate
etc) inside teh audio stream, so don't need extra headers from teh container
file parser.

if you would use mplayer's mov etc parsers they provide these, but it seems
your lib doesn't provide tehse infos for mplayer.

afair this message comes from codec or wine
