Then try `mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=2` (again, 2 is the card number).
Hah!, That worked: $ mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=0 -loop 0 -playlist http://playerservices.streamtheworld.com/pls/KDAQHD2.pls Though I'm quite curious why since this is card 0, it wasn't selected by default the first time I tried? This may be the result of me having started fluxbox desktop and X triggering the sound setup. I only have one sound card (and it's Alt on device:2) $ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: AD1984A Analog [AD1984A Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 2: AD1984A Alt Analog [AD1984A Alt Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 I'm also not sure just what X starts as far as the sound system goes as I use startx to launch fluxbox, so there isn't any desktop manager launching the desktop. All I do is launch the pulse-audio systray volume app on fluxbox startup, e.g. in ~/.fluxbox/startup: ## pulse-audio volume control pasystray=$(type -p pasystray) [ -x "$pasystray" ] && "$pasystray" & Next reboot I'll try ssh and mplayer start as above and see if it will work without any X desktop having been previously started.
