Hi,
Trying to play a sound, I get a series of errors
| $ aplay 69550__dataka__mu_eca_piano.wav
| ALSA lib confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card '0'
| ALSA lib conf.c:4154:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver
returned error: No such file or directory
| ALSA lib confmisc.c:392:(snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings
| ALSA lib conf.c:4154:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_concat returned
error: No such file or directory
| ALSA lib confmisc.c:1251:(snd_func_refer) error evaluating name
| ALSA lib conf.c:4154:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned
error: No such file or directory
| ALSA lib conf.c:4633:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such file or
directory
| ALSA lib pcm.c:2211:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default
| aplay: main:608: audio open error: No such file or directory
This looks like debugging output. But the library did not make
any mistake: I am not in the audio group, so I do not have access
to any sound card, though this was not immediately obvious to me.
Perhaps a more direct message ("cannot find a card to output to"
or something) would help.
If it is libasound’s responsibility to produce such a message, please
reassign accordingly.
Thanks,
Jonathan
