For the record, mplayer supports alot more audio output formats than
OSS, think it uses SDLs if you link against SDL.

This does not make sense. SB Lives should never suffer from this,
atleast all the drivers I've tried (mainly alsa lately) does not block
anything. And I don't think Arts does that either... perhaps some
strange switch to Arts or the sounddriver?
there is also the possibility to use the artsdsp hijacking method, which
does LD_PRELOAD tricks I would presume.
But the bottom line is, this should not happen, you are not seeing this! ;-D
