Steve,
I'm having a similar problem with my Ultra10+Sarge (2.4.26).
I've loaded CS4231 module in modconf and it works fine with mpg123, but when
I load X ( KDE ), I receive the message :
Sound server fatal error:
AudioSubSystem::handleO: write failed
Len=-a.can_write=8192,errno=11(Resource temporarily
unavailable)
This might be a sound hardware/driver specific problem ( see aRts FAQ)
Do you know what's happening ?
Best Regards,
Marcelo Lopes

Subject: Re: Got sound going on a U60 debian smp
after checking modprobe -v cs4231
I got some errors showing that this wasn't working at all ... (missing
symbols etc..)
I just went back to Debian's 2.4.27-1-sparc64-smp on my U60 (normally I use
a 2.6.8 to get USB2), and the cs4231 module loads and works. I loaded it
with modprobe then reran /etc/init.d/audioctl start .
I then found some info on the module you suggested cs4231 and followed
a couple of steps to get my card producing output
rmmod soundcore
insmod audio
insmod cs4231
That looks good.
audioctl -f /dev/audio -w play.port=headphone
I don't think /dev/audio is relevant here.
Maybe try
audioctl -w play.port=headphone
There are examples of how to set PARAMS in /etc/default/audioctl . The
initscript for audioctl runs something like
audioctl -nw $PARAMS
and PARAMS is set in /etc/default/audioctl . Not too complicated.
lsmod output showed
Module Size Used byNot tainted
cs4231 21936 0
audio 23744 1 [cs4231]
ac97_codec 16752 0 (unused)

lp 8728 0 (autoclean)
parport34064 0 (autoclean) [lp]
autofs410236 0 (unused)
hid17336 0 (unused)
Get rid of ac97_codec .
I was wondering what exactly to put in here and how this works I still
have to track down some documentation for this but I found someone
elses config that had the following in it
char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 cs4232
alias sound-service-0-0 sound # mixer
alias sound-service-0-3 sound # /dev/dsp /dev/audio alias
sound-service-0-6 sound # /dev/sndstat options cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5
dma=1 dma2=0 # numbers may vary
You shouldn't need add any of that for the built-in sound, if you include
cs4231 in /etc/modules .
This is probably wrong for my setup but I ithink I need to understand
whats going on before I go down this road.
like wise for this recomendation
Have you set the PARAMS variable
PARAMS=play.port=line_out
in /etc./default/audioctl ?
Thanks for this info I will try to find some documentation on these
files and parameters and go from there.
The file /etc/default/audioctl contains many instructive comments.
I am now working on the following.
1. Get the sound card playing raw at the correct level.
2. get xmms working with the sound card ... Currently raw files
work but I think I am having issues using OSS pointing at /dev/audio
(producing noise not music (could be sending wrong format to the
device)
If /dev/audio doesn't work, maybe /dev/dsp will.
Try alsaplayer instead of xmms. I have had mixed results with xmms, but
alsaplayer always works.
-- good luck, SP
