Hi,

> MPayer playing anywhere but this msg blinking above.

You should always give the full output when you start MPlayer with -v...
I assume you use MPlayer pre5 with the GUI und ALSA output.
Solution: do one of the following:
1) Use MPlayer CVS snapshot (recommended)
2) Use e.g. OSS instead of ALSA
3) Go to the OSS preferences dialog and under "mixer device" enter "default" (untested)
