I tried several different oggs, embedded in ogm, mkv and standalone music files. It might be platform and distribution specific, as I didn't have this problem with either my PC or my ibook and breezy.
A sample that didn't work was http://www.vorbis.com/music/Lumme- Badloop.ogg But I tried compiling the new mplayer pre8 myself now, and ogg playback works again. :) -- mplayer crashes when playing ogg vorbis https://launchpad.net/bugs/48941 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
