Does it crack and hiss over the top of the broadcast? or do you only get
cracks and hisses? If you only get cracks and hisses then I suspect
(only maybe) that your audio setup could be trying to passthrough into a
non-digital receiver (or some other such mismatch).
It could well be similar to the problem I am having. Xmms also works
perfectly for me in digital, but only with certain stream types (xmms
does not handle them all). In my case I would prefer to use mplayer, as
it supports all the stream types. Unfortunately there appears to be a
problem with the webradio plugin in freevo, where it does not pay
attention to /home/user/.mplayer/config default settings, nor the
default settings in the freevo video section.
There may be an easy way to set webradio mplayer settings.. I just
haven't seen it documented. If anyone has a clue on this, some
enlightenment would be appreciated.
