I saw this but I was missing all the jack info. I rebuilt mplayer with jack support. I started jackd per your example:

JACK tmpdir identified as [/dev/shm]
[JACK] cannot open server
Failed to initialize audio driver 'jack'
Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound.

Perhaps I'm missing a step?

Thanks
