3857 | 33 <P>The fact is, Linux soundcard drivers are usually bad, and always as |
1892 | 34 incompatible as they can be. It MAY take a while to find your optimal settings.</P> |
35 <P><UL> | |
36 <LI>if you have OSS as driver, first try with <I>-ao oss</I> (this is the default). | |
37 If you experience glitches, halts or anything out of the ordinary, have a | |
38 look at <I>-ao sdl</I> (NOTE: of course you'll have to have a new SDL library and its | |
39 devel pair installed). It helps in a lot of cases (it also supports ESD, ARTS, and | |
40 up/downsampling. /esd is GNOME's, arts is KDE's sound daemon/).</LI> | |
41 <LI>if you have ALSA version 0.5, then you ALMOST always have to use <I>-ao alsa5</I> , | |
42 since 0.5 has buggy OSS emulation code, and will <B>crash MPlayer</B> with | |
43 a message like this:<BR> | |
44 <UL> | |
45 <CODE>DEMUXER: Too many (945 in 8390980 bytes) video packets in the buffer!</CODE></UL> | |
46 </LI> | |
47 <LI>if you have ALSA version 0.9, use <I>-ao oss</I> or <I>-ao sdl</I> as you | |
2060 | 48 wish. You can also use <I>-ao alsa9</I> as it works now, however it has many |
49 problems (losing sync, disappearing audio, etc).</LI> | |
1892 | 50 </UL></P> |
51 | |
52 <P>On <B>Solaris/FreeBSD</B> systems, use the SUN audio driver with the | |
53 <I>-ao sun</I> option, otherwise you'll have no video, nor audio playing.</P> | |

148 <P>would run the sound through the resampling plugin followed by the format | |
149 plugin. | |
150 </P> | |
151 | |
152 <P>The plugins can also have switches that changes their behaviour. These | |
153 switches are explained in detail in the sections below. A plugin will execute | |
154 using default settings if it's switches are omitted. Example of how to use | |
155 plugins in combination with plugin specific switches: | |
156 </P> | |
157 | |
158 <P> <CODE>mplayer media.avi -aop | |
159 list=resample,format:fout=48000:format=0x8</CODE> | |
160 </P> | |
161 | |
162 <P>would set the output frequency of the resample plugin to 44100Hz and the | |
163 output format of the format plugin to AFMT_U8. | |
164 </P> | |
165 | |
166 <P>Currently audio plugins can not be used in <B>MEncoder</B>.</P> | |

3671 | 170 |
4508 | 171 <P><B>MPlayer</B> fully supports up/down sampling of the sound. This plugin can |
172 for example be used if you have a fixed frequency sound card or if you are | |
173 stuck with an olqd sound card that is only capable of max 44.1kHz. | |
174 Limitations in your hardware are not auto detected, so you have to specify | |
175 the sample frequency explicitly. This plugin has one switch: | |
176 <CODE>fout</CODE> which is used for setting the desired output sample | |
177 frequency, it defaults to 48kHz, and is given in | |
178 <Hz>. | |
179 </P> | |
3671 | 180 |
181 <P>Usage :<BR> | |
182 <CODE>mplayer media.avi -aop list=resample:fout=<required | |
183 frequency in Hz, like 44100></CODE></P> | |

3931 | 187 |
188 <P><B>MPlayer</b> has an audio plugin that can decode matrix encoded | |
189 surround sound. Dolby Surround is an example of a matrix encoded format.</p> | |
190 | |
191 <P>Many files with 2 channel audio actually contain matrixed surround | |
192 sound.</p> | |
193 | |
194 <P>To use this feature, you will need a sound-card supporting at least 4 channels.</P> | |

200 <P><B><A NAME=2.3.2.2.3>2.3.2.2.3. Sample format converter</A></B></P> | |
201 | |
202 <P>If your sound card driver doesn't support signed 16bit int, this plugin can | |
203 be used to change the format to one which your sound card can understand. It | |
204 has one switch <CODE>format</CODE> which can be set to one of the numbers | |
205 found in libao2/afmt.h. This plugin is hardly ever needed and is intended for | |
206 advanced users. Observe that this plugin only changes the sample format and | |
207 not the sample frequency or the number of channels. | |

217 | |
218 <P>This plugin delays the sound and is intended as an example of how to develop | |
219 new plugins. It can not be used for anything useful from users perspective | |
220 and is mentioned here for the sake of completeness only. Do not use this | |
221 plugin unless you are a developer.</P> | |
222 | |
4913 | 223 <P><B><A NAME=2.3.2.2.5>2.3.2.2.5. Software volume control</A></B></P> |
224 | |
225 <P>This plugin is a software replacement for the volume control, and | |
226 can be used in machines with broken mixer device. It can also be | |
227 used if one wants to change the output volume from <B>MPlayer</B> | |
228 without changing the PCM volume setting in the mixer. It has one | |
229 switch <CODE>volume</CODE> that is used for setting the initial | |
230 sound level. The initial sound level can be set to values between 0 | |
231 and 255 and defaults to 255. Use this plugin with caution since it | |
232 can reduce the signal to noise ratio of the sound. In most cases it | |
233 is best to set the level for the PCM sound to max, leave this plugin | |
234 out and control the output level to your speakers with the mixers | |
235 master volume control. If there is an external amplifier connected | |
236 to the computer (this is almost always the case), the noise level | |
237 can be minimized by adjusting the master level and the volume knob | |
238 on the amplifier until the hissing noise in the background is gone. | |
