[MPlayer-users] Mplayer crashes with -ao file=/path/fifo option

[Jesper Weiland]

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to play a stream and write it to a fifo (I always did this 
with mplayer). The stream I have to play does
not work in older mplayers so I've downloaded MPlayer-20050122.

Now I do the following:

mplayer mms://156.99.125.225:8080 -ao pcm:file=/fifo/test

<SNIP>

MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: ao2_init
- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
 Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
 disassembly. Details in 
DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
 It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
 gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
 DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We 
can't and
 won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a 
possible bug.

What can be wrong?

Thanks,
