[MPlayer-users] Problem forcing mplayer to use "pulse" hardware.

[George R Goffe]

Hi,

I'm trying to force "my" mplayer, compiled from sources, to use my "Pulse" hardware... USB connected head phones. Youtube for example, uses (via Firefox) the head phones just fine but "-ao pulse:::broken_pause" (from the help mplayer) doesn't seem to work.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Thanks for your help,

George...

You really need to provide more detailed information than "doesn't seem to work".
Certainly wouldn't know what you mean by "Pulse hardware".
pulseaudio has per-application settings so it might just be configured differently for MPlayer and the browser (assuming Firefox even uses Pulseaudio, I have some doubts about that).
