Description
setup-pulseaudio --disable on openSUSE 11.4 breaks the /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf file - see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=681113 for details.
That's something you can't do much about (it's a bug in setup-pulseaudio), I just mention it to give you some background information.
The problem is that mplayer displays a quite useless error message after disabling pulseaudio:
# mplayer
Option ,alsa needs a parameter at line 77
It took me quite some time to find out about which file the error message is.
Please add the filename to the error message. It should look like this:
# mplayer ### with enhanced error message
Option ,alsa needs a parameter at line 77 in /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf
Please change the error message to include the filename.
Patch to display config file name in config file error message
