Description of problem: I compile a local version of mplayer from the subversion repositories. It pulls in mpg123 as a configuration option. When I play some avi videos (most of those I have), it misinterprets the audio encoding. It still works, unless I move around in the video using the arrow keys. Then it plays a few seconds of audio, and the video locks. It has no problems playing mp4, webm, mkv videos. When I use the system mplayer from the fedora repositories, it plays the problematic videos without issue. However, I think that version of mplayer is not compiled with mpg123 support enabled, because it uses ffmpeg instead of mpg123. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Name : mpg123 Version : 1.29.3 Release : 1.fc37 Architecture: x86_64 How reproducible: On a problematic video, every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Compile mplayer with mpg123 enabled 2. Try to play a problematic avi file 3. Actual results: Video plays until moving within the video. After that, it plays a few seconds of the movie, and then locks up. Audio is misinterpreted.

This is a subversion version of a package that is not in fedora. Please report any issues to the relevant upstream project.
This system is up to date and uses wireplumber and pipewire for audio.
This isn't an issue with mplayer. It is an issue with mpg123, which *is* a fedora package. I can compile the local version to use ffmpeg instead of mpg123, but that is just ignoring the issue with mpg123. I just wanted to bring it to your attention. Anyway, if you won't fix, you won't fix, and I have a workaround. Thanks for the fast response.
