Hi,
(potentially interested parties in CC.)
Since the last snapshot containing mplayer-20100308 I have noticed:
a) DVD's don't play on my thinkpad using the external CD drive. I am not sure if
this ever worked - its the first time.
I notice this in dmesg at this time:
cd0(umass0:1:0): Check Condition (error 0x70) on opcode 0x28
SENSE KEY: Illegal Request
ASC/ASCQ: Read Of Scrambled Sector Without Authentication
Now I know mplayer had its own DVD decrypter, but has this changed? Anyone
know. Either way I have installed:
libdvd-0.3p2 descramble scrambled DVDs using ACSS
libdvdcss-1.2.9 descramble scrambled DVDs
libdvdnav-4.1.3v0 DVD read/navigation library
libdvdread-0.9.7p1 accessing DVD files
b) Stuttering sound after some time of playing some file/stream. Very annoying.
The old version of mplayer did not do this for me.
Has anyone experienced either of these issues, or is it a hardware
specific bug?
Maybe I need to work on another update - perhaps we just checked out at a bad
time.
I just looked at the mplayer www page, they are thinking of... releasing?!

Thanks for enduring my nonsensical rantings.
