Paolo, Thank you. This finally worked for me. I had to do some gyrations of the command within powershell but finally got it working.
BTW - MPlayer is taking about 8-10 seconds to load everything before it comes up and ready to play anything. Like I stated before all I want it to do is play wav files that I feed it (no video, no translations, no sub-texts, etc.). SO is there any way to get it to load any faster by telling it not to load everything on the planet before it actually starts?
Thanks,
Eric

Right now I am running mplayer in idle mode, so that it is already up and running when I send it something later on. My problem now is that it is taking the program 8-10 seconds just to load up all of the codecs, drivers, etc. that it loads up when it starts. Is there any way to keep if from loading everything, because all I want it to do when I send it something is to play a simple wav file. I don't need all of the codecs for video, streaming, all of the fonts for sub-titles, etc.
I just want it launched bare-bones as quickly as possible just to play wav files.
Any help would be much appreciated.

dealing with audio? On my linux box, it plays a wav file in less than
a second the first time with that option, and nearly instaneously on
subsequent plays. Admittedly, linux organizes its dynamic libraries
differently than windows, so my experience might not be relevant.

I do not use windows and in my system mplayer starts in half a second
tops. So I cannot really help you in that, and as far as I know
mplayer does not really load anything unneeded.

Sorry for interrupting,
There is a very nice player
for playing audio from terminal command line called cmus.
Paolo,
Thank you for your help.
What I am trying to achieve is a quicker startup from MPlayer (like
right after a re-boot or after MPlayer has sat dormant for a day). I
don't want MPlayer to do anything but play wav files, I do not need it
to play movies, weird DVDs, VHCDs, or any of that. All I need it to do
is play wav files, period. But what happens is that if I re-boot my
machine, or if it sits idle for a while (say 12 hours) and then I call
on it to play a certain wav file, it can take MPlayer up to 30 seconds
to load and play that file. It is especially noticeable after a re-boot.
1.) boot up with support to play ONLY wav files, so that it doesn't
load up all of the fonts, all the other drivers, etc., or 2.) load up
from boot by running as a service in the background so that it doesn't
have to load every time it is called upon, so that it plays the wav
file almost immediately whenever it is called on.
Thanks,
Eric

Windows services are special programs (microsoft likes complexity),

Still what are you trying to achieve?

Is there any way to set up MPlayer to run in Windows as a service. I
have tried setting it up, and it is in the list, but the app will not
launch from the services manager, powershell, command line, etc.?
Any help would be much appreciated.
