Public bug reported: With the latest kernel (3.13.0-65) mplayer will not react on keyboard input (e.g., pause [space], volume ctrl [+]/[-]). The std output shows, however, a line that has not been shown formerly: "Dead key input on file descriptor 0"
With older kernel (e.g., version 3.13.0-45-generic) mplayer works as expected (on the same system). How to reproduce the bug: 1. start mp3 playback by executing mplayer foo.mp3 2. pause playback by pressing [space] EXPECTED: playback gets paused ACTUALLY: nothing happens I do not know exactly which kernel version introduced that modified behaviour, but it has to be between the aforementioned two versions.
