[MPlayer-users] alsa5 driver not working (patch included)

[Daniel Mario Vega]

The alsa5 driver is not working on my machine:

 > alsa-init: error setting parameters: Invalid parameter

My configuration

- Sound Card: SoundBlaster Live! (EMU10K1)
- Alsa Kernel Driver 0.5.12a
- Alsa Libs 0.5.10b

This patch fixed the problem for me:
