It would seem he's already using "-ao alsa9." At least that's the type 
of messages I get with "-ao alsa9." But that's a red herring. That 
message is not an indication of an error in sound output. I get it 
whenever the playback skips for any reason, like my DVD spinning up. The 
alsa message is simply an indication that there was a pause, not what 
casued it.
