After an upgrade of multimedia/mplayer2 I found myself unable to hear any audio in files which use AC3 audio, for example in the following file:
Playing the above file, gives me the following error message:
When I play the same files with multimedia/vlc, I get a horrible hissing sound, even with "liba52" enabled upon compilation. Other videos and audio tracks such as AAC, MP3 and FLAC seem to work fine in both players, only AC3 seems to be a problem. All files work fine in multimedia/mplayer which doesn't require multimedia/ffmpeg1.
I can't say I understand all this, but I gather from the mplayer2 error messages that I need to compile multimedia/mplayer2 or multimedia/ffmpeg1 with the "libavresample" and "liba52" options enabled. But I can't find any compilation options in the configuration interface (see below).
Many sources on the internet also suggest compiling multimedia/ffmpeg1 with the "--enable-libavresample" option enabled, see HERE, HERE, and HERE.
I've checked the compile time options, for multimedia/mplayer2, multimedia/ffmpeg1 but can't find the relevant options (libavresample or liba52):
I've also searched both the mplayer2 and ffmpeg1 "Makefiles" but I haven't found any reference to "libavresample", although I did find the following in the mplayer2 Makefile:
Can I simply remove the above entry from the multimedia/mplayer2 Makefile?
Can I manually edit the multimedia/ffmpeg1 make file?
