[MPlayer-users] Running multiple instance of mplayer

[wt at teksavvy.com]

I tried the following suggestions from the previous response. But they
are not working:

$ mplayer -ao esd test.mp3
$ mplayer -ao alsa test.mp3

But neither command works. Their console output is shown below.  Any
other suggestions anyone?
Thanks.


$ mplayer -ao esd test.mp3
