Was MPLAYER_AO_DEV honored before this patch was committed? I tried using a standalone script for testing, as well as messing with MPLAYER_AO_DEV, neither worked. I think the syntax should be 'alsa:adevice=hw.1,0' In addition, should the adevice part be the same for both mplayer and mencoder? The one I set for mencoder worked, the same settings for mplayer didn't. > >> http://linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/Saa7134-alsa >> >> The alternative is to use Live TV Pause for watching TV.

It should work for whether someone's using mplayer or xine I think. T.C. - -- Wan Tat Chee (Senior Lecturer) School of Computer Sciences, Univ. of Science Malaysia, 11800 USM, Penang, Malaysia.
