Mplayer lacking sound



Hi, I've noticed that my mozilla mplayer plugin
shows video but lacks audio. I've downloaded and installed
all available codecs in /home/adam/.mplayer/codecs
with no change. I've easily played MP3's via XMMS,
so it's not hardware.

Starting mplayer in text mode as root gives me

Tux:~# mplayer
MPlayer 1.0pre3-3.3.3 (C) 2000-2003 MPlayer Team
 
CPU: Intel Celeron 2/Pentium III Coppermine,Geyserville 2559 MHz (Family: 6, Ste pping: 3)
Detected cache-line size is 32 bytes
CPUflags:  MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 0
Compiled for Debian.
Reading config file /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf
Reading config file /root/.mplayer/config
Reading /root/.mplayer/codecs.conf: Can't open '/root/.mplayer/codecs.conf': No such file or directory
Reading /etc/mplayer/codecs.conf: 61 audio & 169 video codecs
Usage:   mplayer [options] [url|path/]filename
 
Basic options: (complete list in the man page)
 -vo <drv[:dev]>  select video output driver & device ('-vo help' for a list)
 -ao <drv[:dev]>  select audio output driver & device ('-ao help' for a list)
 vcd://<trackno>   play VCD (Video CD) track from device instead of plain file
 dvd://<titleno>   play DVD title from device instead of plain file
The main problem seems to be the config file.

C
urrently it looks like

Tux:~# cd ~/.mplayer
Tux:~/.mplayer# ls
Skin  config

I'm confused about how to set up an appropriate config file.

On the one hand 'man mplayer' tells me that a user specific
'~/.mplayer/config' takes precedence but the default config
for the input system is '~/.mplayer/input.conf'

The example '~/.mplayer/config' in 'man mplayer'

EXAMPLE:
       # Use Matrox driver by default.
       vo=xmga
       # I love practicing handstands while watching videos.
       flip=yes
       # Decode/encode multiple files from png,
       # start with mf://filemask
       mf=type=png:fps=25
does not show me how to proceed in my situation.

Could someone post a realistic config template, focusing on audio ?
