Q: Can I run multiple instances of MPlayer?

A: Yes. Some video out drivers like xv, dga or (x)mga are exclusive, - though, so you will not be able to run more than one instance of - MPlayer running such a video out driver. To a lesser degree this - also applies to audio drivers. Not all allow playback of multiple streams - on the same device.

Q: My tuner works, I can hear the sound and watch the video with MPlayer, but MEncoder doesn't encode audio!
A: TV audio encoding for Linux is currently unimplemented, we're working -- cgit v1.2.3
