I tried the two sites without sound again directly with mplayer and no 
browser.

The first was audible if I turned the sound up all the way but still very 
faint (garritan).

The second still has no sound.  If I switch terminals (from VGA to TTL) I 
can read on the original terminal info about mplayer such as Movie-Aspect 
is undefined and also

Audio: no sound

mplayer -ao oss -vo svga   [continues on next line]

Please try this site - do you get sound?

No other mplayer is running, just two processes for this one site.

This is a larger image than most, and relatively good resolutoin.


At some sites the sound starts before the video.


The Russian site is the best so far, if you understand Russian.

Default cache is 320, I will try 1024 next time the site cuts out a lot.
