OK, probably it was autodetected. I'll commit my change later to enable

Don't enable OSS4 nor ALSA, VLC can run fine with FreeBSD kernel mixer

 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

I'll use audio software such as Ardour with jackd, if I launch jackd with  
oss, there are only the two analog IOs of my HDSPe AIO available, ALSA  
doesn't work.

I'll get the 8 ADAT ports, since I connect my sound card to an ADAT device.

This is the sound card:
http://www.rme-audio.de/en_products_hdspe_aio.php
This is the connected ADAT device:
http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/ADA8000.aspx

Just for a test VLC would be ok.

Ok, so I compile VLC and dependencies, that were not already compiled,  
with their default configuration. Some dependencies perhaps are already  
compiled.

Audacious with jack and other non-defaults enabled will compile OSS. 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.

 Are you sure?  And are you speaking about the latest version - 3.3.3 ?
 
 In that version, if neither ALSA nor OSS4 is selected then the only output
 possible is FileWriter.  BTW, OSS4 is On by default, which is annoying - 
 why do
 I have install some external kernel code if we already have quite good audio 
 code.
 
 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

 The real OSS support was dropped by audacious somewhere in the past
 and is
 unfortunally no longer available.
 I can switch the default from OSS4 to SDL if this is what the community
 wants - I have no hard feeling here.

Yes I think this is a better solution, OSSv4 is an huge port that must
*replace* the in-kernel mixer/soundcard support.

Could one of you show the steps to set SDL as the default sound system
on FBSD instead of OSS?

Thanks,
