It's actually ao=esd. A short configuration file would simply look like
this,
vo=xv,x11
ao=esd
OK, I have changed this in both .mplayer/config and
/etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf MPlayer at the command line seems to be
working fine now, but my problems with MPlayer in the GUI is still the
same. In GUI I still get the following:
"Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device."
You can look at the system wide configuration file
in /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf to get a clue for more options.
I'm not sure if you're used to these kinds of configurations files, but
the # in the beginning of files is a comment, so those options are
commented out and won't be used.
Thanks for reminding me about deleting the hash mark.
Most of the stuff in the configuration file isn't necessary but can be
useful. For example, the below two lines I use to set the default
languages when playing DVD movies. This will first try english then
swedish for subtitles and trying japanese, english and last swedish for
audio.
slang= en,sv
alang= ja,en,sv
Sooo, for Danish, is that "da" or "dk"?
