If I turn off my headset while playing audio using mplayer I get the
following error message:

[AO_ALSA] pcm pause error: File descriptor in bad state
[AO_ALSA] pcm resume error: File descriptor in bad state

Can it be that mplayer uses alsa to write to a pipe or do something else
which is weird?
Anyway.. Seems like the fact that mplayer when instructed to use alsa
finds my headset doesn't indicate that the headset is actually supported
by alsa => will find me a wired headset and apologize for the additional
work I have caused.


Kind regards,

     Gunter.
