[OpenIndiana-discuss] SFE multimedia players and codecs

[Ian Johnson]

I use mplayer2 for videos and mod/Sonata for music with no issue. On the subject of mplayer, though, I've noticed that mplayer2 throws some AO-ALSA errors as part of the command-line output when playing a video. Is it possible that the mplayer2 package was built with some extra features enabled that OI doesn't need?
