Hi all,
I'm running Rivendell 2.11.0.int0 on Ubuntu 15.10 and am running into
issues with what I believe to be permissions on the various files and
devices.
Sometimes playback will work for a second but then turn into straight
static (and I notice in syslog that caed shows sample rates of 47999 and
"error opening sound device" etc.)
Other times, playback won't start at all (and syslog shows caed unable
to connect to the PCMs), and (much more rarely) everything works!
I have an office computer which I have asound.conf configured with rd0
and rd1 PCMs to feed to pulse, and I have our main studio computer with
two USB sound cards (PCMs rd0, rd1, rd2, and rd3).
I am using the /etc/init.d/rivendell init script to start my daemons,
and /etc/rd.conf has AudioOwner as "rivendell" and AudioGroup as
"music". The logged-in user (who runs rdairplay) is "wayofm", who is a
member of the "music" group.
As I understand, caed should be running as rivendell? Or is it root?
Regardless, I always see it running as root in the process list. The
PCMs in /dev/snd are owned by root, with group permissions to the group
"audio" (of which wayofm and rivendell are members).
/var/snd is owned by rivendell:music and, for that matter, is mode 777
anyways. /var/run/rivendell's pidfiles seem to be of varying
ownership... caed is rivendell:root.
I guess my question is, how *should* permissions be? Who needs access to
the devices in /dev/snd, and how should caed and friends be started and
under what user?
Thanks!
