[MPlayer-users] Slow-playing files with Darwinports install of mplayer

[Cheryl Homiak]

Hello all.
I just installed mplayer from Darwinports on my Mac mini which is  
running thelatest version of macosx. I find that it isplaying files  
and streams so that they sound like a record at very slow speed--slow  
and voices octaves lower than they should be. Is this perhaps a  
sample rate problem or something else? At first I thought it was a  
problem with a particular url, then I thought it mightonly be with  
ogg files, but I have tried several types of files and some urls now,  
and find the same problem with all. In addition, after running  
mplayer I've started to hear some pops through my system when using  
voiceover, the tool on the Mac to allow blind people access to the  
OS--in fact, voiceover appears to sometimes switch off and back on..  
So I'm starting to be leery of even using mplayer until I track down  
the problem. In case it is helpful to know this, besides running  
Macosx with voiceover, I have an usb Griffin imic hooked up with my  
speakers and I have several other audio applications--quicktime  
player, iTunes, realplayer, Windows Media, and whamb. I also have  
xiph-qt installed whicdh allows me to play og files in iTunes and  
quicktime. Does anybody have any idea what the problem might be here?

Tia.
