			Driver  : <A HREF="ftp://ftp.infradead.org/pub/pcsp">ftp://ftp.infradead.org/pub/pcsp</A>

   - 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="cd-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 '-vo sdl:esd' option !
   - Please tell us how MPlayer and your soundcard(s) worked together!
