[MPlayer-users] Alsa problem

[Lord K]

Using mplayer-0.90rc4 and alsa-0.90rc7 with a Voyetra Turtle Beach Santa 
Cruz sound card (using the snd-cs46xx alsa driver), mplayer does not work 
correctly with "-ao alsa9" unless a "-abs" option is also given, it reports:

alsa-init: testing and bugreports are welcome.
alsa-init: requested format: 48000 Hz, 2 channels, Signed 16-bit 
(Little-Endian)alsa-init: 1 soundcard found, using: hw:0,0
alsa-init: unable to set periodsize: Invalid argument

Adding the option "-abs 1" or "-abs 3" causes mplayer to work correctly with 
alsa, however the manual says that "-abs" is both obselete and OSS-only, so 
it ought not to make a difference. The options "-abs 2" and "-abs 4" both 
cause the same error as when there is no "-abs" option at all.
