#327 closed defect (worksforme)

-ao pcm requires write permission on /dev/audio

Description

When using -ao pcm to write to a file, mplayer requires write access to
/dev/audio even though it shouldn't need to touch the output device. This
prevents one from, e.g., sshing to a machine with mplayer where another user or
group owns /dev/audio in order to convert/create audio files.

It worked for me even after chmod 000 /dev/audio...
I even did an strace and it doesn't even try to open /dev/audio (only /dev/zero
and /dev/rtc).
