mplayer configuration

[Dr. Jennifer Nussbaum]

i used to use mplayer without a problem but i just upgraded it and
now have problems--it doesnt work.

i can play audio files wiht xmms, but if i try to use mplayer i get an error
"Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound."

If i use gmplayer, it also doesnt work (same error) but i fooled around
and saw that if i go to the Preferences configuration, and the Audio tab,
and select the "oss" driver, it works. (Only for that sesssion, if i start it
up again it doesnt work).

How do i get this set up to work properly. i didnt see anything in
/usr/ports/UPDATING and i didnt change anything (nothing intentional
anyway) that would make things stop.

Thanks!

Jen
