[MPlayer-users] Can't open audio device /dev/dsp

[James Moe]

Hello,

MPlayer SVN-r30193-4.3
opensuse v11.1
linux 2.6.27.39-0.2-default x86_64

  While attempting to play an audio MP3 clip:

[AO OSS] audio_setup: Can't open audio device /dev/dsp: Device or
resource busy
DVB card number must be between 1 and 4
AO: [null] 22050Hz 2ch s16le (2 bytes per sample)
Video: no video

  I tried the suggestion in the FAQ that addressed this very question;
no joy there.
  Here is what configure.log has to say about ALSA:

============ Checking for ALSA audio ============

#include <sys/time.h>
#include <sys/asoundlib.h>
#if !((SND_LIB_MAJOR == 0) && (SND_LIB_MINOR == 5))
#error "alsa version != 0.5.x"
#endif
int main(void) { return 0; }

/tmp/mplayer-conf-30270-12398.c:4:2: error: #error "alsa version != 0.5.x"

  There are two or three other entries. The common thread being
"error: sys/asoundlib.h: No such file or directory"
