Ignore previous subject.  -vo zr, not -vo xv!!


 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?).
