Public bug reported:

Hi,

I cannot manage to get mplayer output sound when running inside a
script.

I have a script:
-rwxr-xr-x ~/Softs/alarm.sh

Which contains:
mplayer ~/.sounds/alarm.ogg -loop 3

1. If I run the script with:
. ~/Softs/alarm.sh
I can hear the sound.

2. If I run the script with:
~/Softs/alarm.sh
I hear nothing but the output of mplyer is normal, the same as when it play a 
sound correctly.

I've read millions of forums, tried millions of options of mplayer
(DISPLAY=:0.0 mplayer, -vo null, -ao pulse, -volume, -af,
-softvol/-softvolmax, -really-quiet...)

I've also tried other players, like aplayer (same problem) and play (no
problem).

Does anyone have an idea if this is a bug and/or where does this
difference in behaviour comes from???
