From: gabucino MPlayer's audio interface is called libao2. It currently
+contains these drivers : General: The fact is, Linux soundcard drivers are usually shit, and always as
+incompatible as they can be. It MAY take a while to find your optimal settings.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ oss OSS (ioctl) driver
+sdl SDL driver (supports up/downsampling, ESD, ARTS etc)
+nas NAS (Network Audio System) driver
+alsa5 native ALSA 0.5 driver
+alsa9 native ALSA 0.9 driver (works, but has problems -> use OSS)
+
+sun SUN audio driver (/dev/audio) for BSD and Solaris8 users
+
+
+
+DEMUXER: Too many (945 in 8390980 bytes) video packets in the buffer!
On Solaris/FreeBSD systems, use the SUN audio driver with the +-ao sun option, otherwise you'll have no video, nor audio playing.
+ +2.3.2.1. Soundcard experiences, recommendations
