[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 575368] Re: opening mplayer stops sound

[Mihai Sucan]

I can also confirm that the updated package (libopenal1) in lucid-
proposed (mentioned in bug 351732) fixes the issue I have with mplayer
and pulseaudio. I can now hear all sounds fine.

Thank you Daniel!

Bug description:
Binary package hint: mplayer

While playing sound in any application (music on rhythmbox, or flash video with firefox for example) if an instance of mplayer is open, the other application stops generating sound. mplayer needs to be killed as well as the other application to have sound working again.
