Hi,
I´ve a problem with MPlayer since 0.9x up to the latest releases. I try
to play a mp3 file:
mplayer -ao alsa9 <mymp3>
it works fine, CPU usage is below 1%.
I try it this way:
mplayer -ao alsa9:surround40 -channels 4 <mymp3>
MPlayer uses 100% CPU. Quite a lot for decoding only a mp3 file?!
If I play a DivX or XviD with a mp3 soundtrack with the same parameters
like the 2nd commandline it works like a charm only using around 30%CPU.
My box is an Athlon XP 1600+, latest ALSA 0.9.8.x, Mplayer 1.0pre2 (same
behavior with pre3), I didn´t tried CVS as I didn´t see any changes in CVS
in the ALSA code. My soundcard is a SBLive! Value Edition and I use ALSA´s
emu10k1 driver.
Any ideas why ALSA 4 Channel output uses 100% CPU ?
