Linux MP3 streamers?

Hi, Does anyone know of any good MP3 streamers (not players) out there for 
Linux? Players like x11amp and freeamp require that the mp3s be downloaded to 
local machine.

Thanks much,

How to determine local IP

1999-06-21 Thread Ramesh Natarajan
This message was sent from Geocrawler.com by "Ramesh Natarajan" <[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]>

Hi, Once dialed in, how to determine the local (dynamically assigned) IP id? I 
know pppd invokes ip-up with the local IP. But outside that, is there a env 
variable, API or a file that holds returns this info?

Thanks much,

Daylight saving trouble

1999-04-05 Thread Ramesh Natarajan
Hi,

My linux machine does not seem to be daylight saving aware. I
still have the old time as my system time. Setting date as root
does not seem to help. I tried to look thru HOWTOs, minis,
Documentation, FAQs I couldnot get any pointers. 

Will someone point me to some links/info pl?

Iam running Debian 2.2.2.

A Cc to [EMAIL PROTECTED] will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Re:SB PCI128 problem

1999-01-28 Thread Ramesh Natarajan

Hi, Looks like you have a PCI sound card (Ensoniq, now
owned by Creative Labs). I have one of these cards at
work myself.

This is what I did to get it to work (Under kernel 2.2.0)

Kernel Compile options:
  Ensoniq AudioPCI (ES1370)
  Creative Ensoniq Aidio PCI (ES 1371)

I selected both since I wasn't sure. On reading kernel
Documentation/sound/es137?, I know I have ES1370

%lspci -n
00:0d.0 Class 0401: 1274:5000 ## Indicates ES1370

Load module as usual  (insmod -s -v es1370).

Thats it! I could do cat something.au > /dev/dsp or play
CD. But not is all well though. My sound volume is
very low. Couldn't figure out why? Any ideas are welcome.

I have Debian 2.0.

Hope this helps,

I'm trying to get my sound card to work..

Here is some info from dmesg..
[...]
pty: 256 Unix98 ptys configured
Sound initialization started
Sound initialization complete
PIIX3: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 39
[...]
If it was found shouldn't it say something there?

===
  This probably indicates that you have sound compiled
  as module and not into the kernel.
===
/proc/pci says:
[...]
  Bus  0, device  11, function  0:
Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq AudioPCI (rev 1).
  Slow devsel.  IRQ 10.  Master Capable.  Latency=32.  Min Gnt=12.Max
Lat=128.
  I/O at 0x6000 [0x6001].

Ensoniq?? But the IRQ is correct.

I read in the Sound-HOWTO and in the kernel docs and in the later it said
that all should have the device files there but I don't have /dev/sndstat
on my newly installed debian-unstable.

===
  I think /dev/sndstat works for only ISA cards (like
  Soundblaster; I have AWE64 at home)
===

In the kernel (2.2.0-pre8) config I have selected 100% Sound Blaster, I/O
base=220, IRQ=10, DMA=1, 16-bit DMA=5, MPU401 IO base=330

===
  Get 2.2.0. Its beautiful!
===
Any hints on how to get the card to work??

Problem with AudioPCI (ES1370)/ kernel 2.2.0

1999-01-27 Thread Ramesh Natarajan
Hi,

I have a Creative Ensoniq AudioPCI that used to work with Windowss NT.
I installed Debian 2.0 couple of months back and had not
made any attempts to get sound to work. Yesterday, I got 
Kernel 2.2.0 and it seem to be working; but not 100%.

I enabled CONFIG_SOUND_ES1370 as module while compiling.
After booting, I did a insmod -s es1370.

When I try cat something.au > /dev/dsp, I do get some
sound, but the volume is TOO low. I have to practically
glue myself to the speakers to hear anything. I tried to
play CD, I played something with rvplayer. Everything has
same problem. 

I tried sox (with -v) option, it does not help. I played
differennt file types like voc. Everything has the same
problem.

Any clue? 
Please Cc your response to [EMAIL PROTECTED] also.

Re: linux instalation: error activating swap partition

1999-01-14 Thread Ramesh Natarajan

Looks like you are trying to enable the primary partition
as swap. Not sure if that could be a problem. Try to
use one of the logical partitions (/dev/hda5 above) as
swap. 

Also, I was told that its not possible to install Windows
in logical partition. let me know if you are able to
install Windows in there.

Re: Dselect-problem (new user)

1999-01-14 Thread Ramesh Natarajan

If you have an IDE CDROM, watch out for BIOS messages 
during boot time and see if the CD is installed as
Primary/Secondary Master/Slave. These are the device
names to use:


Primary Master: /dev/hda (Very unlikey; it should be your Hard disk)
Primary Slave: /dev/hdb
Secondary Master: /dev/hdc
Secondary Slave: /dev/hdd

If you have SCSI, I have no clue.

Soundblaster under Debian 2.0

1999-01-12 Thread Ramesh Natarajan

Hi,

I just installed Debian 2.0 and compiled kernal (2.0.34) with Sound as
module. I seem to get something working, but not all. I configured my
/etc/isapnp.conf, did a isapnptools /etc/isapnp.conf followed by
$insmod sound trace_init=1. On dmesg, I see
   Sound initialization started
at 0x220 irq 5 dma 0,5
at 0x388
   Sound initialization complete

when I do cat /dev/sndstat, I see
Card config:
   Sound Blaster at 0x220 irq 5 drq 0,5
   (SB MPU-401 irq 1 drq 0)
   OPL-2/OPL-3 FM at 0x388 drq 0

Iam able to play CD using workman. When I cat some .au to /dev/audio,
(or when I try saytime) I get no sound. I get no error either. When I do
rvplayer welcome.rm, I get some error like "Codec not
installed/Compression not supported".

>From what I see in HOWTO, looks like I have MPU stuff not enabled. Is
this a problem? I donot have MPU 401 support enabled in make config
(going by help text)

I used to have RedHat 5.1 with sound working like sweat (using
sndconfig). Is there a similar tool under debian? (just wanted to be a
GNU purist for a while :)

Thats my main Qn. I have few more :)

1) I can do startx only as root. Not as any other user. I get some error
like "xlib: conncecion refused by server". If I run xdm, I can log on as
any user though.

2) When I try make xconfig for kernal config, I cannot select any of the
y/m/n options. I can input all text fields (like irq, IO) though.

Thanks for your help,
