Folks -

I'm running Gentoo on a Epia M10000, Nehemian core. Up until recently, the system was running fine as a Freevo box.

I'm having a issue with mplayer. I recently updated a whole bunch of stuff via 'emerge -u world'. I'm not sure all of what - I had 90-something packages, and emerge.log rolled over.

I'm using mplayer and alsa on my box. When I play a media file, the file runs doubletime, video and audio. Another thread on this forum led me to believe that this was an incompatibility between Alsa and mplayer, and that I should use OSS instead. I already had OSS compatibility installed, so i ran the following:
Code:

mplayer -vo directfb -dr -ao oss axe.mpeg


When I do so, I get the following error:
Code:

audio_setup: driver doesn't support SNDCTL_DSP_GETOSPACE :-(

   ***  Your audio driver DOES NOT support select()  ***
Recompile mplayer with #undef HAVE_AUDIO_SELECT in config.h !

Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound.
Audio: no sound


I've tried the undef issue as mentioned, but when I do that, another similiar error pops up(something else to undef)l

Does anyone know what the problem is? Any clue on how to fix?

I'm running 2.4.24 with Epia patches, Mplayer 1.0-pre3 and alsa-driver 1.0.2c

thanks!
