Hi,

I am running 4-Stable with up-to-date ports installed.


I'm puzzled by what mplayer does to my audio device.

When I run "gmplayer -vo x11", I can only play one movie with
sound. When I stop the movie (NOT exiting mplayer!) and start
another movie, I get this dialog from mplayer:

	"Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound"

and, of course, there's no sound. This is quite a nuissance.


Any idea what is going wrong here?

Thanks,
Rob.
