I had this issue using the latest smplayer and mplayer from the launchpad repositories.
The freezes were happening in mplayer and in smplayer. I changed the audio output to "pulse" instead of "alsa" and the problem went away. I changed them both in /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf and in smplayer's preferences. -- playback will not begin https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/341966 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
