[MPlayer-users] How to get "audio format 0x50" work?

[Josef Wolf]

Hello!

I have a file (recorded with VDR), that can't be played with audio.  It
seems like mplayer/mencoder don't know how to handle audio format 0x50.
Any suggestions how I can make this work?

Attached is the whole mplayer output, maybe it helps to locate the problem.
