Hello! There is gstreamer on the device but no command-line gstreamer utilities like gst-launch, which you can compile (using scratchbox) and install yourself if you like. Playing a wav file should be as simple as:
`gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=whatever.wav ! wavparse ! dsppcmsink` IIRC, wavparse is installed on the device but in case it's not, you can get it compiled from the source (gst-plugins-good). On 12/15/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I am trying to play a .WAV file from the Nokia 770 command line, without triggering a GUI audio player. In principle, this seems like the simplest thing in the world. Normally, I'd just use "aplay" and that would be it. However, although the Nokia 770 has alsa, it does not have aplay. So I went to install aplay. It's part of the alsa-utils package, and installing alsa-utils on the Nokia 770 is even discussed somewhat on this page: http://maemo.org/maemowiki/EnablingGstreamerSupport So I thought it would be simple to install alsa-utils. However, using the ARM build, I get this error message: dpkg: error processing alsa-utils_1.0.8-4_arm.deb (--install): package architecture (arm) does not match system (armel) Errors were encountered while processing: alsa-utils_1.0.8-4_arm.deb Looking around, I gather that the Nokia 770 (at least the 2006 edition) uses the "armel" architecture, which is distinct from the "arm" architecture listed on the Debian stable download options. I looked around for "armel" in the testing and unstable branches of Debian, and using google, but found nothing informative that way. Question 1: Is there a way to get alsa-utils working on the Nokia 770, 2006 operating system? Question 2: Is there any other way to play a .WAV file from the Nokia 770 command line? I suppose it might be possible to write a driver, or tap into the alsa, esd or gstreamer libraries in some fashion. I don't have experience doing this, but am willing to learn if there is something possible along these lines. But it seems rather excessive, as playing a .WAV file is about as simple as it gets, and it would be surprising if there is no more direct way to achieve this goal. ------------------------------------------- Terence [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
