xmms output device
* Thomas G. ([EMAIL PROTECTED])[20040308 17:05]: I am a windows user attempting to migrate to linux... I love to game... I know my computer stuff but configuring linux programs isnt the easiest thing... it takes experience... I cant get XMMS to work ... it doesnt pick up on my sound card but KDE3 does... anyone know why? Check your output plugin in XMMS. (Options | Preferences | Audio I/O Plugins | Output Plugin). You probably want the OSS output module. What is the error message xmms gives you? When does it happen? Is it able to load a song? Does it give an error when trying to play the song? Does it look like it's playing fine but you don't hear anything? You'll get better help quicker if you provide these details when you ask a question. Instead of just saying it doesn't work, you should say exactly what you tried, what you were expecting, and what you observed. good times, Vineet pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
RE: xmms output device
I am using the OSS plugin. It says it cant contact my soundcard or it is busy. When I use mpg321 I can play an mp3 fine in the console. It doesn't play at all in XMMS. KDE just gives me an error sound and it gives me that error in a box Thanks so much Thomas -Original Message- From: Vineet Kumar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Vineet Kumar Sent: Monday, March 08, 2004 8:54 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: xmms output device * Thomas G.

KDE uses the artsd sound daemon to allow various apps to use the single sound device at one time; xmms needs a plugin to play nicely with this setup. enjae[westk]:/home/westk apt-cache search xmms | grep arts xmms-arts - aRts Output plugin for xmms xmmsarts - aRts Output plugin for xmms enjae[westk]:/home/westk apt-cache show xmms-arts Package: xmms-arts Priority: optional Section: sound Installed-Size: 132 Maintainer: Chris Boyle [EMAIL PROTECTED] Architecture: i386 Version: 0.5-2 Replaces: xmmsarts Depends: libartsc0 (= 1.1.3), libc6 (= 2.3.2-1), libglib1.2 (= 1.2.0), libgtk1.2 (= 1.2.10-4), xlibs ( 4.1.0), xmms Conflicts: libartsc0 (= 1.2.0), xmmsarts Filename: pool/main/x/xmms-arts/xmms-arts_0.5-2_i386.deb Size: 21662 MD5sum: 0aa93b780f14146c011bda778aa7ae29 Description: aRts Output plugin for xmms This plugin connects xmms to aRts, KDE's sound server, so its output will be mixed with your KDE system sounds and the output of other aRts programs, rather than conflicting with them. enjae[westk]:/home/westk apt-cache show xmmsarts Package: xmmsarts Priority: optional Section: sound Installed-Size: 136 Maintainer: Chris Boyle [EMAIL PROTECTED] Architecture: i386 Version: 0.4-18 Depends: libarts-alsa (= 4:2.2.2-1) | libarts (= 4:2.2.2-1), libc6 (= 2.2.4-4), libglib1.2 (= 1.2.0), libgtk1.2 (= 1.2.10-4), xlibs ( 4.1.0), xmms Filename: pool/main/x/xmmsarts/xmmsarts_0.4-18_i386.deb Size: 17650 MD5sum: d60a747e29b48ab3469ac27a9374a2b6 Description: aRts Output plugin for xmms This plugin allows xmms to work with aRts, KDE 2's sound server.

My apologies for Top posting Kent and anyone else who read my message. Thank you so much kent I got it working. The package xmms-arts fixed everything once configured. there was no xmmsarts but that did not seem to matter Thanks Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
