+
+   - use at least 2.4 if possible, 2.2 isn't tested
+   - if sound clicks when playing from CD-ROM, turn on IRQ unmasking !
+     for example "hdparm -u1 /dev/cdrom" (see "man hdparm" !!!)
+     This is recommended anyways... (for XMMS, etc...)
+     Read section <A HREF="dvd.html#4.1">4.1</A> .
+   - don't use your soundcard by other application ( for ex. XMMS ) !
+     if you use ESD, start MPlayer with the esddsp utility !
+   - Please tell us how MPlayer and your soundcard(s) worked together!
