To judge by the man mplayer, I suspect the line in the config file would be cache = enable Although all the cache lines in /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf are commented out, simply replacing the line # cache = 8192 with the line cache = 16384 solved the buffer problem. Is cache thereby enabled? > Check the output of: type play > > Most likely something else named play comes earlier in your $PATH. You are correct. Solved the problem by changing play to Play.
