I'm going through helll trying to get mplayer to work on my machine. I
tried the .debs first, but they didn't work - the application starts,
but nothing works.
Specifically I need it to play some windows-centric audio file with asf
extensions. when I try to play them, mplayer craps out while trying
to use alsa.
My other audio applications (Ardour , Hydrogen etc.) work fine.
any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
PS I even tried to compile the sources. Boy do I hate that, and it
still didn't work!!!
