The Sound Demon (not daemon) on Linux
I was playing a bengali song on my PC - the rich silky voice of Lopamudra Mitra on XMMS ...
I had built and installed MPlayer some days back.
I thought of just starting a video simultaneously.
As soon I did the following :
mplayer /win1/movies/The\ Matrix/Part1.DAT
Once or twice the video screen came up and then disappeared failing on some count or the other
All the codecs are in place and mplayer install was successful and yet it does not work.
Then the screen came up and remained blank - it neither played video nor audio.
But the XMMS output changed to a strange voice of some man (remember it was playing a female voice a few minutes back)
Then I stopped mplayer and again started and the audio output became even more morphed like the voice of some ghost.
I closed and restarted XMMS but the audio remains like an old ghost/demon - thus came the audio ghost into my system.
CAN YOU DECIPHER THE FOLLOWING OUTPUT OF MPlayer :
Most probably the bitrate or frequency of output of the sound card was reset to some unearthly value by the audio drivers on loading mplayer - hence the ghost !
