Brett, Unless it's being quite tricky, it is finding the audio CD as it says the track it's playing is 5:03 long, which is the same amount of time alsaplayer tells me that track is. Also, there's only one CDR drive in this box. I can also point it at a directory of wave files and it begins playing them with a little spectrum analyzer showing, but hdspmixer doesn't appear to be receiving any audio. hdspmixer has DPM meters which are not moving for xmms, but do work for other alsa sound apps. Since this is a new driver in development, I think I'l lpush this back a bit to the developer to make sure this should be supported at this time. Maybe he hasn't coded whatever is required for this sort of audio yet, or maybe I need to chose some specific alsa protocol interface, like plughw vs. hw. I'm sure he'll have some ideas. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't doing something completely stupid as I have not used this app, and the documentation doesn't cover using the Alsa Output Plugin. In fact, the plugin specifically says 'Alsa 0.9.0'. I was just assuming that since the apps are compiled on my Gentoo box it would understand that I'm using 0.9.6 and be OK. Maybe that's the problem? Maybe I need to emerge -C xmms and the reemerge it so it is compiled fresh against the Alsa I have on here? I could try that... Thanks, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
