annoying clicks sounds on start a media

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Every time I open a song mp3 by example or a video flash, avi whatever,
GNOME MPlayer make strong clicks sounds on start, but if I have Gnome
Mplayer open with some video and play other video goes fine just open
another window,  but if I have Gnome Mplayer open with a song and open
other song sometimes makes the clicks on the new start song window and
sometimes not.
If open the same song or video with other player it plays good.

I'm using Linux Mint 9 and GNOME MPlayer 0.9.9.2

Might want to try disabling power saving on your audio card. I have seem some 
cards
that click/pop on wake up. 

Also what audio output are you using?

Have you tried changing the Audio Output in gnome-mplayer under 
Edit->Preferences...
try alsa or pulse and see if either of them help.

Sound card Power saving disabling is usually a kernel option.

normally I have been able to disable it with this, do this as root

echo "options snd_hda_intel power_save=0"   > /etc/modprobe.d/snd_hda_intel.conf

And then reboot. This will disable power savings on your intel audio card. 

You can check if you have an intel audio card with this command

lspci | grep -i audio

And you should see Intel listed... might look something like this

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio 
Controller (rev 02)

If you do not have an Intel card, you may need to check what driver you are 
using,
and then see if you can disable power savings on it.
