Hi List (please CC me) For a long time I've had a problem with MPlayer that prevents me to listen DVDs. Hardware is a Sony GRX Laptop with a CDR-DVD Combo Drive. There is no sound card but an Intel 82801CA-ICH3 based sound chip. There is no wire from the DVD to the sound chip and sound playback is always done by software (XMMS needs a plugin to play music CDs from this drive). This hardware works since I can use it with other applications. So, no hardware problem. Distribution is SuSE 8.0 with kernel 2.4.19. Sound system is ALSA 0.9.0rc3 and arts sound server on KDE 3.1. X Windows is 4.2.0. This configuration works with other application. Xine and Ogle allows me to see and listen to DVD movies. So, no underlay software problem. The MPlayer version I am testing now is 0.9 RC3 updated to CVS 20030207. I have tested previous versions, compiled from source and RPM versions for SuSE (packman.links2linux.de) and I have always had the same problem: DVD playing is OK with xv video output and I can see the film BUT not sound at all. On the contrary, mp3 audio files works fine. So, the problem is localized on the AC3 codec. Any hints to why I get this error?: [...] Too many video packets in the buffer: (4096 in 8257120 bytes). Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed? For AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option.
