No Audio

[Chris Worley]

I don't know if this is a problem with videolan/vlc or my PES stream. If
I strip the audio packets from the pes stream, and remove the PES
headers, then the audio plays correctly through mpg123, but the full
audio+video PES stream through vlc only plays the video.  I'm using an
AWE64 with the commercial OSS drivers, that normally work quite well,
under SuSE 7.1 and kernel 2.2.18 (SuSE patched).  No esd.

My command line is:

  vlc -I qt -v  -a mpeg voy_v.mpeg

I can set "-I" to "qt" or "gtk"... no difference.  I can set "-V" to
"x11" or "sdl".  Still, no difference.  

When I do an "fuser" on "/dev/dsp" while vlc is running, it shows all
vlc's threads open on the device.

The only errors I get are:

	module error: failed calling init in builtin module

But, all the modules load successfully (I know: I've seen the errors
when there's a problem with a module).  Every once in a while, I get:

	warning: late picture skipped (0x...)

But, that's to be expected.  After awhile, I get:

	PES trashed - decoder fifo full !

Which is a problem, but I'll look into that once I get the audio
working.

I'm concerned that my hardware's to blame...

My hardware's MPEG2 encoder outputs PES streams.  I've
traced through the audio decode thread, it seems to be walking through
the audio data correctly, but I'm really not sure where to look for
problems.

Maybe someone proficient at MPEG sound headers can scan this for
problems? 
Here's an example chunk, from the beginning, of a 16 byte PES header
plus some of the MPEG audio data following:
