[MPlayer-users] "Audio device got stuck!" during playback of mono PCM

[Chris Lonsberry]

This is on a fresh install of Korora 22 with XFCE desktop.

When playing wav files I'm getting skipping during playback. I went to
the terminal to check it out and got the following output:


$ mplayer zoeng1.wav

So, it is getting stuck twice in an audio clip that is only about one
second long! I tested mp3 files and they seem to play fine. Also, the
same wav files play fine in VLC. I'm not too sure where to look next.
