I'm using a dsl dictionary with its pronunciation audio files.
In the definition window when I click on speaker icon there is no sound and no error.
I tried to play one of wave files using mplayer in terminal. mplayer failed with the following output:
- Code: Select all

I don't know where is the problem?
Is it an issue with mplayer or some missing libraries?
Or an issue with the file format, though totem plays the same file fine.
