I have been informed by "Randy White" that the embedded image is the culprit. he found the information on a Russian site. http://www.gentoo.ru/node/17774 (Afraid I don't speak Russian)
I did as he suggested an used Easytag to remove the embedded pictures. Bingo, the ogg file now plays. This isn't a great work around as it would need done for every podcast that gets downloaded that contains pictures. So the problem would seem to be mplayer not supporting the picture tag properly. Hope this helps someone create a fix. -- regression: ogg123 plays ogg file, mplayer plays as static, on jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/349463 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
