Running it correctly produced the attached output. The clip also ran, as the log indicates.

You're using OSS as audio-driver and with that only one program can use /dev/dsp at once. In your case, the device is already used by another program, e.g. artsd, esd or some such.

Either terminate the other program to free the device or use (for both the other program and mplayer) a different audio-driver, e.g. alsa (if you're using the ALSA driver), arts(d), esd, ...

Available mplayer audio drivers are listed by 'mplayer -ao help', if you found one that works, you can put

ao=<NAME_OF_THE_DRIVER>

in your ~/.mplayer/mplayer.conf.

HTH, -dnh

In fact, the error message implied something like that. But I have no idea what other process might have been using the driver. I tried closing down the browser, for example, because I had been watching film clips on CNN, but it didn't help. I also do not understand why only this problematic clip has trouble finding a free driver, while DVDs and CNN clips have no trouble at all. But thanks for your information. I'll have to ponder it further. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

fuser /dev/dsp

At the risk of exposing my deep ignorance, that doesn't tell me anything.

I know of no other way of initiating that command. Further investigation on your part would reveal: man fuser NAME fuser - identify processes using files or sockets

And I don't believe the terminal cares, but you might.

And I do. What I was saying is that entering <fuser /dev/dsp> at a prompt produced no output at all, but a return to the prompt. I interpret that as meaning that there is nothing to report. On the chance that the command needs superuser status to do its thing, I did that, with the same result.

While a lot of the documentation is written at levels that fail to provide *complete* understanding for the novice and not so novice, it will give you a basic idea what is going on.

probably a good interpretation

Right. So the conclusion has to be that all is well. Except that this clip can't be run with audio, although the (Windows user) who sent it to me hears a sound track. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Probably a sound daemon, i.e. artsd, esd or some such.

Works here too. I think the other clip is a trap for the unwary. I won't waste any more of my time, or that of others, with it.
