Hi Ralf,
the idea was to only comment out

But Ma
Should I build it again? IMO it isn't needed, since OSS does work, even
while everything is commented out.

OK, probably it was autodetected. I'll commit my change later to enable
OSS support without the additional oss4 dependency.

OSS and ALSA
Hi :) I know it's a topic for the multimedia list, but there's less traffic on that list, so I hope it's okay to post it to both lists :S. I'll test the snd_hdspe driver. It's working for the 2 analog IOs of a HDSPe AIO, but other ports are missing by jackd. I was asked to use mpd, but I never used this kind of media player before. Usually I'm using pro-audio apps on Linux and seldom I use averaged media players and as mentioned before, I never used this kind of player. I don't know how to use mpd or the Gnome GUI for it and sonata failed to build. Perhaps I could use an averaged media player to get access to all ports? Is there a way to automatically get all dependencies when building applications? To me it's already strange that audacious is build without the output plugins, however, I'll build them now and I get root@freebsd:/usr/home/rocketmouse # cd /usr/ports/multimedia/audacious-plugins ; make install clean ┌┐ │ Options for audacious-plugins 3.3.3│ │ ┌┐ │ │ │ [*] AAC AAC/MP4 format │ │ │ │ [*] ADPLUG ADPLUG decoder │ │ │ │ [*] ALSAALSA audio architecture│ │ │ │ [*] AMIDI Amidi decoder │ │ │ │ [*] AOSDAudacious OSD │ │ │ │ [*] AOSDXCOMP Audacious OSD X Composite │ │ │ │ [*] BS2BBS2B effect│ │ │ │ [*] CDAUDIO CD audio input │ │ │ │ [*] CUE Embedded CUE sheets│ │ │ │ [*] DBUSD-Bus IPC system │ │ │ │ [*] FFAUDIO FFAudio decoder│ │ │ │ [*] FLACFLAC lossless audio codec │ │ │ │ [*] GIO GIO support│ │ │ │ [*] JACKJACK audio server │ │ │ └─v(+)───45%─┘ │ ├┤ │ OK Cancel │ └┘ === Found saved configuration for audacious-plugins-3.3.3 = audacious-plugins-3.3.3.tar.bz2 doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/. = Attempting to fetch http://distfiles.audacious-media-player.org/audacious-plugins-3.3.3.tar.bz2 audacious-plugins-3.3.3.tar.bz2 100% of 1699 kB 571 kBps === Extracting for audacious-plugins-3.3.3 = SHA256 Checksum OK for audacious-plugins-3.3.3.tar.bz2. === Patching for audacious-plugins-3.3.3 === audacious-plugins-3.3.3 depends on executable: audacious - found === audacious-plugins-3.3.3 depends on file: /usr/local/lib/oss/include/sys/soundcard.h - not found ===Verifying install for /usr/local/lib/oss/include/sys/soundcard.h in /usr/ports/audio/oss === oss-4.2.b2007 requires kernel source to be installed. *** [install] Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/audio/oss. *** [build-depends] Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/multimedia/audacious-plugins. *** [install] Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/multimedia/audacious-plugins.

When VLC is compiled, I'll read how to reset the config and compile it with it's defaults. For test purposes this is ok, but for audio production it's a no-go. FWIW I generally don't add pulseaudio support since environments with pulseaudio don't work with professional gear on Linux. Even if it should work on FreeBSD, the code is odd, since it will adjust 2 volumes in the same signal chain at the same time. An audio engineer doing this, never ever would get a job. This is not how audio signals are handled in the professional world, doing it that way is idiotic. To be continued.

It seems that audacious has lost support for normal OSS and became useless to me. Maybe SDL Output plugin/option could help, I need to try that. Yes, SDL Output works fine. I think that this should be the default for the following reasons: - unlike OSS4 it doesn't require an additional external kernel driver - unlike PulseAudio it doesn't require any daemon (and possibly extra configuration) - unlike ALSA OSS plugin, SDL code is sane in its usage of OSS API -- Andriy Gapon ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Freebsd, Virtual OSs and GUI
Hello all. I hope this question does not sound too stupid. I am sorry in advance if you think so. Since version 2.x and until now all I have been using FreeBsd as a server, helping a small ISP company of a friend , basic web services, email, dns etc. All I have been doing has been done in the text interface, the pure shell. In fact, I have to confess that I have never tried any of the GUIs available. For some reasons not important to mention I need to have a server that can virtualize some other OS's (Linux, Freebsd and Windows). This will be used as a lab for some personal projects. Of course I thought to have as the base FreeBsd Version 8.2 and have the virtual machines running inside, was wondering if Virtualbox runs fine there. The virtual machines need to be used with their graphical interface (Gnome , Kde and windows). So I guess that the best and need is to have a graphical interface also running with the base (FreeBsd 8.2). Is that correct? If so, here are some questions: It is better to install KDE or GNOME as the base GUI or it is better to have any other ? (I do not know what could be). What do you think is the best option to save hardware resources and accomplish this task ? Something important is that this lab machine will be connected directly with the ISP (public IP's) and I will need to connect remotely to control the server and the other OS's. If I do not need necessarily a GUI running with FreeBSD, what do you suggest to use? I have to mention that I have done the first phase of my testing using XP and inside of it running VirtualBox with FreeBsd and Linux distros without problems... BUT... OF COURSE even with the firewall, antivirus , latest patches and all the protection schema, yesterday the antivirus start telling the machine has virus and seems it was comprmised, of course I can not continue using it and it was not the idea to have that, but for the 3 dyas of testing what I need to do was enough. By the way the hardware I will use I guess it is enough since it is for testing only and I won't be connected remotely all the time. The machine is an old Pentium Core 2 Duo, 2GB of ram (its maximum) and a hard disk of 500gb, also it has an Nvdia card 256Mb (can use the one with the motherboard if that is a problem) The motherboard is an INtel one. It runs perectly FreeBSD using it in text mode. As a curios information something in the motherboard maybe is not compatible with UBuntu . As always thanks in advance for your comments and your time.

It's a very configurable and fast distribution and works very well on AMD64X2. The emerge/portage system is akin to ports/makefile combo in FreeBSD. The fact that i've to deal with Python for most of the emerge tools is an annoyance. Almost all the packages are installed from the source code. I've myself been a FreeBSD user for quite sometime and Gentoo Linux is what i've found quite impressive among the Linux distributions. It may come as a surprise, but i've found the PHP runtime to start faster on Gentoo Linux than on FreeBSD on the same hardware. I also had to do a bit of reordering of the extensions to avoid crashes. I still donot know why that problem does not occur on my Gentoo Linux installation. If you have to go to Linux and choose to use Gentoo Linux, i'll be happy to offer assistance as a friend with setup and troubleshooting.

Hi Mark and Norberto, Mark, what do you need to virtualize and what your requirements are? I think the question about virtualization is far too broad. For example, you mentioned quotas.

Marc,
I've personally given up on Plesk ;) if you want to find out more what it's
doing, maybe you can run apache with only 1 thread and attach ktrace to it and
see what plesk's php code is trying to do, and why it dies?
or is it an intrinsic issue with quotas in a jail, that are not allowed? (i
think this is it, yes?) can u install a customised set of libraries in those
jails so that the syscall that are failing return whatever plesk expects (even
if it doesn't effectively do anything ? ) ...
cheers,

hi Marc,
- where do you want FBSD to run - as the host (or dom0 in Xen), or as the
guest?
If as host, i think Xen may be the closest one to reality, though I think it's
not there yet (FBSD is supported for domU). You could use NetBSD though, i
think,and of course, linux.
Alternatively, I have been using for a while already this combination of Centos
as the host + VMWare Server (which is not OSS, but is free as in beer). FreeBSD
will run just fine under it.
Other options which are built upon OSS though proprietary in the sense that the
products built are not released (i think, i'd love to be proven wrong!) are
Amazon's EC2 (still in beta, i think) and 3Tera's AppLogic - AFAIK both of them
are built upon Xen, and only Linux guests are supported at this time.
wrt to QEMU,i don't think is fast enough to make it worth it - i think you'd
gain more by moving a bit to the side of freebsd for the host and using other
options (linux+ Vmware + freebsd as guest)
I'd very much appreciate if you could keep us / me :) posted on what you find -
I shall do the same if I come across anything interesting.
Best regards,
B

Just as a follow up on my earlier problems with Skype. I was rebuilding
my userland over the weekend due to the XOrg 7.3 update. By accident I
updated also OSS port.
My skype now works flawlessly. I found out that there was a mixer bug
for the AudigySE card (I thought something was wrong with my oss mixer
of course since the built in oss ROCKS but I am not using it)
By the way developers did spectacular job with XOrg 7.3. Everything went
smoothly.
Sincerely,
Predrag Punosevac

The osstest utility also reports errors of timeouts.
I tried it over a year ago and it would crash my kernel. I've been using
Ariff's since he published them, and the ones in -STABLE since he MFCd them.
I may give OSS another try now they have gone open source...

Strange enough I do not manage to get mplayer to use other dsp devices e.g. % gmplayer -ao oss:/dev/dsp5 -channels 6 and xmms at /dev/dsp7 give a conflict when using simultanously: %xmms ** WARNING **: oss_open(): Failed to open audio device (/dev/dsp7): Device busy. #cat /dev/sndstat shows: OSS/FreeBSD 3.99.2c (C) 4Front Technologies 1996-2004 License serial number: E0008 UNREGISTERED VERSION Drivers: ALL License will expire after: 06/2005 *** Unregistered version *** Build: 200504131459 Kernel: FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE #7: Mon May 2 22:31:25 CEST 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MAARTEN Card config: VIA 8233 AC97 audio controller at 0xb000 irq 22 OSS Virtual Mixer Pro Audio devices: 0: VT8237 (DUPLEX,GRC3) 1: VT8237 (shadow) (DUPLEX,GRC3) 2: OSS Virtual Mixer v2.5 Playback CH #0 (GRC3) 3: OSS Virtual Mixer v2.5 Playback CH #1 (GRC3) 4: OSS Virtual Mixer v2.5 Playback CH #2 (GRC3) 5: OSS Virtual Mixer v2.5 Playback CH #3 (GRC3) 6: OSS Virtual Mixer v2.5 Playback CH #4 (GRC3) 7: OSS Virtual Mixer v2.5 Playback CH #5 (GRC3) 8: OSS Virtual Mixer v2.5 Playback CH #6 (GRC3) 9: OSS Virtual Mixer v2.5 Playback CH #7 (GRC3) Synth devices: 0: OSS Virtual Synth v2.5 Midi devices: Mixers: 0: VT8237 (ALC655) 1: Virtual Mixer History: dsp0: pid 915 cmd 'firefox-bin' IN OUT dsp0: pid 915 cmd 'firefox-bin' IN OUT dsp0: pid 915 cmd 'firefox-bin' IN OUT dsp0: pid 915 cmd 'firefox-bin' IN OUT dsp0: pid 1021 cmd 'mplayer' OUT and when I run xmms alone at /dev/dsp7 the history shows: dsp0: pid 915 cmd 'firefox-bin' IN OUT dsp0: pid 1021 cmd 'mplayer' OUT dsp7: pid 1028 cmd 'xmms' OUT I can also use the device simultanously (so I hear two sound at the same time, e.g. xmms and ossplay): dsp4: pid 1054 cmd 'ossplay' OUT dsp7: pid 1047 cmd 'xmms' OUT dsp4: pid 1054 cmd 'ossplay' OUT So I know I the mixers work but how I can force mplayer to use /dev/dspX instead of /dev/dsp that blocks the mixers?

OSS driver
I'm desperate. The driver that is supposed to autodetect my audio doen't even has it in its list of recognized devices. The list I got after installing the oss was far shorter than the one on the site and lacked support for nforce.I doubt that only linux users are blessed with support from opensound, at leat because of the fact that nvidia provides their own audio driver for that platform.

OSS sound driver doesnt work
Hello. I am using FreeBSD 5.2.1, with a SoundBlaster Audigy soundcard, and my motherboard has a crappy Cirrus Logic onboard sound card. When I type kldload snd_driver to autodetect my soundcard, it detects the onboard soundcard and not my SoundBlaster Audigy (I can live with using the onboard soundcard, I would just rather use the SB Audigy). Then I load KDE, and I hear system sounds, and I can use programs like kaboodle and noatun just fine. But when I fire up XMMS (or any sound program not designed specifically for KDE), and tell it to use the OSS driver, I get an error: ** WARNING **: oss_open(): Failed to open audio device (/dev/dsp): Device busy In KDE, I am using the aRts sound driver, if that helps. And I hope I have made sense, I am not good at requesting help. Any suggestions? Thanks _ Is your PC infected?

Hello Sorry for my ignorance, am new to FreeBSD... which is the kernel config file? is it a configuration for compiling or at boot time? am linux user so will not bee too hard, just tell me which is the file pls :D Well, in pre 5.xxx versions it is in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf. You should find at least 2 in there already: GENERIC and LINT. Make a copy of GENERIC and modify the copy and follow instructions in the handbook or any of the other good FreeBSD books then to build a new kernel.There is an old way that still works in 4.xxx and a new way that is a bit more automated. The old way has you doing /usr/sbin/config CONF_file_name cd ../../compile/CONF_file_name make depend make make install (only if you want it to actually replace your current kernel now you can do this manually later) The new way is supposed to be better, but old habits die hard and this way leaves files where I know how to find them. I have yet to do anything more than burn at 5.xxx CD so I am not sure the files are exactly the same in 5.xxx, but they won't be extremely different in principal. jerry Regards, Miguel This should be automatically created by devfs.

Porting ALSA drivers to OSS may be easy, according to OSS ;)
Well, I looked here: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=pcmsektion=4 Instead of here: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.2.1R/hardware-i386.html#AEN1101 http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.10R/hardware-i386.html#AEN1762 I haven't tried FreeBSD for a long time (before SB Live! was supported) but I knew my SB Live! is supported for some time now. I also have read comments from others about sound support on FreeBSD, and when I compared the supported cards on the pcm man page with the commercial OSS and ALSA supported cards I felt they were right. But I'm much happier now that I know I've searched the wrong places and FreeBSD supports much more soundcards that I could have imagined. I can't remember which is the soundcard in the old Compaq Presario laptop my wife has. But my desktop will migrate in a few days.

Porting ALSA drivers to OSS may be easy, according to OSS ;)
Hi, I've tinkered a bit with Linux and FreeBSD, but still consider myself as newbie. I'm probably going for FreeBSD since I can see the best strenghts that Linux experts point in their distros already exist on FreeBSD, mostly coherent file structure, init scripts and package management. And a great plus in FreeBSD is the documentation, never seen anything like that in a Linux distro before (Debian seems the closest to me). I know FreeBSD is mainly conceived as a performance server OS and lacks in the multimedia field when compared with Linux which is much more generic.

OSS SBLive driver causes kernel panic with 5.0 current
I'd been keeping up with current (world/kernel) every other week or so, and until this week I had no real problems. But after the build I did on March 3rd my soundcard driver (4Front's SBLive/Audigy driver) causes a kernel panic on load. If I don't load the driver the system boots fine, and runs with no other problems. This is the message I get from the debugger when I load the driver: panic: Invalid major (-1030904368) in make_dev I've posted this info to their support forums also, their last responce was to see what they broke.

Check that. I just switched back since the pcm driver causes xemacs to lockup every time it tries to make a sound. With the 4Front drivers, it works just like it should: xemacs makes the expected sounds (as do all other apps). -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D.Khera Communications, Inc.

OSS drivers from 4Front
Hello All Is anybody using the OSS sound drivers from 4Front? If so, are they any good? I'm trying to do some recording and mixing in BSD (using Audacity) and I'm getting whacked by the lack of full-duplex support in the native drivers for my sound card. Any comments welcome.
