hi folks,

can somebody possibly tell me wahat happened to the command -ao=alsa? i compiled again mplayer 1.3 under jessie_amd64  after many years just 
for the fun of it. in earlier days i did inside one of my music-files  'mplayer -af extrastereo=x  volume=y and -ao=alsa  *flac*'and it 
worked. now jessie tells me mplayer does not recognize the command anymore.

thank you!

steef

You should use either "--ao=alsa" or "-ao alsa". The man page seems to
imply that the two-dash version is preferred.
