The following error is received in "Open Volume Control" when selecting "NuForce DAC" under "File -> Change Device"

Mplayer config¶

Prerequisites: aplay

$ aplay -l | grep Nuforce | awk '{ print $2 $9 }' | sed -e "s/:/./g" -e "s/^\(.*\)\.$/ao=alsa:device=hw=\1/" >> ~/.mplayer/config

Now use mplayer as usual
