Dear ffmpeg users

I get the following output

The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture is unlikely to exist on Windows
7. The command line you showed is intended to encode the audio to a
format ALSA will accept, and write it to a specific sound device.

Why don't you just use one of the many many players out there. mplayer
is built using a lot of shared ffmpeg code, but is designed to play
things, rather than convert them. Why not use that instead.

Cheers

alsa is for linux, but you are using windows

Try "ffplay" which usually comes bundled with your ffmpeg...though
it's not the most user friendly player :)
