thanks, that's it!

This works as well but warns
            ************************************************

            ************************************************

Possible reasons, problems, workarounds:
- Most common: broken/buggy _audio_ driver
   - Try -ao sdl or use the OSS emulation of ALSA.
   - Experiment with different values for -autosync, 30 is a good start.
...
It also gives very bad A/V sync (5-10 secs out!). With -ao oss -vo xv 
the sync is not too bad, but still sometimes noticeably a fraction of a 
second out.


Thanks.
