[MPlayer-users] Solution for Mplayer SDL aRts audio output

[Peter Hahn]

Hello,

I'm not sure if there was someone who had this idea before, so excuse me if i 
write something obsolete.
After messing up with mplayer 0.90rc5-3.2.1 and SDL 1.2.5 to support audio 
output through aRts-Deamon and searching the mailing-list archive, I saw  
that some people had the same promlem.
An often discussed issue was weather the SDL driver calls sdl:arts or 
sdl:artsc.
The sdl source says artsc but the sdl driver configuration in Mplayers 
preference dialog says arts. So I thought it could be probably a comunication 
problem between Mplayer and SDL and because I don't need SDL for something 
else than Mplayer I decided to change the name in SDL source from artsc to 
arts and now it works.

My sugestion:

In $SDLdir/src/audio/arts/SDL_artsaudio.c

change line 54 from

#define ARTSC_DRIVER_NAME         "artsc"

to
#define ARTSC_DRIVER_NAME         "arts"

configure && make && make install

thats it
