Would be nice with a non-locking /dev/dsp like in the old days with certain linux supporting sound cards like emu10k1
Nothing worse than getting the locking error over and over again, for years. First with OSS, now with alsa. I hope alsa in the future will give me a simple device name like /dev/dsp should be possible to make alsa work like OSS , same device names right? The problem with alsa is it is so hard for new users to use, still is asoundrc, alsactl or whatever It would be nice if old OSS programs could still use /dev/dsp like normally and if /dev/dsp would never lock Must be possible to make that in software right? Back in the day it was only possible if the card supported hardware mixing I think With the older versions of alsa (I dont use newest version) /dev/dsp is locked still The problem is also alsa device names, really hard to find where in /dev they are placed /dev/dsp is easy to remember Would be very cool if alsa could provide OSS simplicity in the future On Sun, 26 Oct 2014, Clemens Ladisch wrote: > Stefan Monnier wrote: > > open '/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p' failed (-16): Device or resource busy > > Some other process already has opened this device. > > Try lsof or "ls -l /proc/*/fd" to find out which. > > > Regards, > Clemens > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > _______________________________________________ > Alsa-user mailing list > Alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
