Better just go to
http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/A-codecs/wavpcm/,
ahh.wav and madbear.wav

Seems like "correct" behaviour from that ao side.

Probably the uninit function in ao_dsound is broken.
It is supposed to play the remaining data till EOF, but instead it
seems to disable looping on the playback ring buffer, which does
something completely different...

correct from the ao side, demuxer side fixed in r22121

Behaviour is as expected. Status bar stops while MPlayer waits for ao to
empty its internal buffer.

Huh? Both noise and early exit? How that? I don't have arts installed,
but the code looks okay. Though arts and esd are both crap for MPlayer.

Not tested, don't have it installed either.

Fixed but unless someone finds a way to detect the exact number of
samples buffered within SDL it will stay crap...
