I tried to play a DVD (DD5.1) via mplayer and the dvd-plugin from VDR 
(http://www.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/~aschultz/dvd/). Only the mplayer 
produces the noise in the center speaker. So the question is, what makes 
the difference between this plugin and mplayer. Do you have a similar 
configuration (vdr,dvd,ac3,..)?
I have no other players to check, but I think it's obvious, that the 
problem is mplayer related. Maybe the new kernel is the reason? I'm 
using mplayer for a long time and this problem is new to me.

I don't have any sound, when using "-novideo".

Thanks again
