Have you installed a52dec from ports/audio/gstreamer-plugins-a52dec/ ? Perhaps ffmpeg was compiled without some codecs. If you check GPL codecs off, a52 and others are not compiled. Deinstall ffmepeg, do a manual compilation with cd /usr/ports/multimedia/ffmpeg make config install clean, checking the options you want. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

That's what mplayer says:
==
Opening audio decoder: [ffmpeg] FFmpeg/libavcodec audio decoders
AUDIO: 48000 Hz, 6 ch, s16le, 448.0 kbit/9.72% (ratio: 56000-576000)
Selected audio codec: [ffac3] afm: ffmpeg (FFmpeg AC-3)
==
AO: [oss] 48000Hz 6ch s16le (2 bytes per sample)
What do you mean by a decoder is needed?
Have you tried vlc or xine?
Seen in multimedia/mplayer/Makefile.shared:
CONFIGURE_ARGS= --cc=${CC} \
[..snip..]
--disable-liba52 \
That's probably why mplayer won't play surround sound, I'll try with VLC
tonight.
Cheers,
