MPlayer signal 11 decode_audio error

[Christoph Georgi]

It's really funny: I didn't know about this problem before a friend of 
mine, whom I'm converting to Linux, asked me about it..

Well, it seems to be a sound problem, as with -nosound the movie's 
played fine.

But, I couldn't find the line af = resample... in my config files.
Everything that seems to have to do something with audio is the following:

---
~/.mplayer/gui.conf:
ao_driver = "oss:/dev/dsp"
ao_volnorm = "no"
ao_surround = "no"
ao_extra_stereo = "no"
ao_extra_stereo_coefficient = "1.000000"
ao_oss_mixer = "/dev/mixer"
ao_oss_mixer_channel = "pcm"
ao_oss_device = "/dev/dsp"

~/.mplayer/config:
<emtpy>

/etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf:
ao=alsa,
[...]
# From Fedora
# the default mpeg audio decoder is currently broken, let's try libmad
# first:
afm=libmad

---

libmad is installed in the version 0.15.1b-1

I installed xine-ui to see whether I'm missing any important libs or 
something, and with xine the dvd playback works fine with sound. I 
assume it must be something with mplayer's settings?!

thanks for your help!
