Re: [Alsa-user] Skype - problem with sound device - ?
The card is M-Audio Revolution 7.1. Please remember, I'm still on ALSA 1.0.8. 'aoss' was the only way I could get Skype working with M-Audio Revolution 7.1, before M-Audio Revolution 7.1 I used to use SB-Live 5.1, and with it Skype worked out of the box, i.e. whatever OSS simulation was doing, it was good enough for Skype.

[Alsa-user] pcm vs pcm2 channel
hi -- i understand that sometimes channels are mislabeled, and that pcm2 sometimes means headphones, or main, but assuming that that's not the case, does the presence of a pcm2 channel imply that one could play two digital sources at once (e.g., two wav files) and have them mixed by the hardware? if so, what devices would one use? i run a whole-house audio system. i have both music (duh. :-) and also a home-automation menuing system. currently, i run a nas server on top of the audio device, because it's capable of mixing inputs from various clients. i use a NAS-enabled mpg123 to play the music, and i use auplay to send the festival-generated voice data. so my music can keep playing while i check my voicemail, for instance. i'd like to eliminate the nas server (just to make things simpler) but i know of no other easy way to do pcm signal mixing. (i'd also be happy with having one input override the other input -- i.e., the voice response menu system would have priority over music.) paul =- paul fox, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (arlington, ma, where it's 31.8 degrees) --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

With 1.0.9 and later this should Just Work - if your hardware can't mix multiple channels then alsa-lib will handle the mixing. You have to make sure all your ALSA apps are using the default PCM.

You have to make sure all your ALSA apps are using the default PCM. what does this mean, exactly? /dev/dsp? /dev/dsp is the OSS emulation device. I was referring to native ALSA. i see. so i guess there's no per-channel device node under alsa?

But you can just aplay file.wav from two different terminals and they will be mixed. gotcha. alsa-aware apps it is, then. thanks. if alsa is doing the mixing, how can one adjust the relative volume of the inputs? possible? going back to my music and home-automation menuing example, i could see wanting to mute or reduce the volume of the music while the voice menus are speaking. paul =- paul fox, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (arlington, ma, where it's 32.0 degrees) --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[Alsa-user] Alsa problems
Hi guys,
this is my first post in this mailing list. I've got a problem using
ALSA: I've installed tho sources following the documentation
step-by-step. That's OK, but when I try to run aplay here's what happen:
$ aplay -D intel8x0 test.wav
aplay: main:533: audio open error: No such file or directory
And when I try to run mplayer using alsa, something similar happens:
$ mplayer -ao alsa test.wav

Another problem occours with midi. I cannot play midi. No way.
Furthermore, I've got a problem using aRts and Alsa together: when using
aRts, all kde's sounds work well, but I can't use mplayer because aRts
block the /dev/dsp device. I cannot listen sounds in web pages, too. How
can I use aRts and ALSA together?
Finally, a little audio delay problem: when aRts is not active, all the
videos have an audio delay. E.g.: if a watch a movie using mplayer, the
audio has ALWAYS delay, and also Flash movies in web pages have audio delay.
Anyone can help me? Here's some data:

So, how end users are supposed to learn about ALSA ? If something exists for general public, but general public has no way of knowing it, what's the use of that potentially useful thing ? Maybe ALSA project site should contain clearly visible Ignore the documentation, ask alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net first warning on the main page ?

Re: [Alsa-user] Alsa problems
To fix the documentation is the best way. Who is deciding to do this ? Who of the developers is supposed to do this ? Anyway, I suggested what from experience seemed more realistic.

[Alsa-user] devfs removed branch incompatible with alsa-drivers
Just a shot across the bow, I tried to compile alsa-drivers (1.0.11rc2) outside of the tree using the devfs removed 2.6.15 git branch. After the drivers are installed they won't work (complains about missing symbols iirc); although if you compile against a vanilla kernel they will work in a devfs-removed kernel. devfs-removed kernel announcement: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernelm=113626505529729w=2 -- avuton -- Anyone who quotes me in their sig is an idiot. -- Rusty Russell.

[Alsa-user] porting my old oss app to alsa how?
Hello, I'm the author and (sort of) maintainer of rawrec (http://rawrec.sourceforge.net). I'm working on a maintenance release. There are other programs now that do what rawrec does probably better, but it does have some users including some fairly complicated scripts (http://soundgrab.sourceforge.net) so I thought that for continuity sake I should do this. I'm trying to avoid spending too much time on it though. My question is, given that rawrec implements its own ring buffer using pthreads, what is likely the best way to proceed? What I would like is to simply replace the read/write io calls on the old /dev/dsp with analogous calls into ALSA lib, but since it implements its own ring buffer, I'm not sure this is a good idea. In truth a slight efficiency loss of an extra copy in this little app is not going to be the end of the world, and it would be the easiest way to continue (admitedly quite old now) oss support and support the rawrec interface. Is it a problem to have a high priority pair of userspace threads handling a ring buffer which then gets filled or drained using snd_pcm_writei with a pcm opened in blocking mode, or will the competing userspace threads cause problems?

Nope, that sounds like a good implementation, just use mutexes to protect the shared data. Lee --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!

[Alsa-user] Whether ALSA supports real time mode?
Hello all!!! iam a new bie to ALSA group. Currently i need some information related to ALSA.I have the following question: Whether ALSA supports real time mode? In real time mode the player send the MIDI events directly to the synthesizer that are contained in the current frame. There is no time information in the events and there is no bufferization Thanks in advance.. Santosh --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems?
