is it possible to use mplayer to play video from one source and at same time play audio from another source? if it's possible, i think mencoder can be used to record desktop.

Thanks...  The reason why I wanted to use mencoder instead of ffmpeg is that
with the latter, when I tried to capture webcam and audio together, especially
with my old laptop (but partially also with my new desktop pc), I've been
banged against `a sea of troubles': sync problems, video freezing, video
stuttering, background noise, output interrupted... whereas with mencoder and
the command I posted above everything went fine at first try.  So that, with
desktop capture, I had to give up the idea of recording video and audio
together and am recording them separately...

Regards,

Rodolfo
