I spent weeks experimenting with OSS drivers for my SB Live 5.1 and finally gave up and switched to alsa because even though I could record from tv with this fix, I never managed to get the centre speaker working when watching a DVD. Switching to Alsa made things so much easier. Because all the volume controls are labelled differently, there is no IGain, and hence it's never set to 0. Have a look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=emu10k1 for info on the volume controls. Alsa is really worth it. Yes. I also use alsa with my VIA chipset, but mostly because the mplayer developers strongly recommend it. It seems that OSS doesn't help at all mplayer synchronize the video to the sound (sync is done by playing the sound, and asking the sound system the timing for the video. OSS doesn't give this timing information, at least not the OSS-Lite which is in the kernel. Alsa does, though). And it seems that OSS uses 16 channel names for the mixer, to which ALSA seems to map randomly its own channels when using OSS emulation. So the channel I need to use for recording on my box is IGain, but the actual ALSA channel used has nothing to do with gain or amplification (I don't remember the name). However, Freevo does not have support for ALSA mixer (yet), so you have to use OSS emulation for the sound volume.

Matthieu I don't think you have to use it. Don't use alsa's OSS emulation, and use the normal lircd/irexec method to set alsa voume if you really want to set something with your remote control (personally I don't, I just adjust the volume on the speakers) I didn't even know there was such a feature in lirc. But Freevo tries to adjust the sound volume, and thus tries to use OSS. Actually, I need freevo to play with the mixer, since I use the Line-In to listen to the TV sound (no DSP on my TV card), and when Freevo is recording a program, I don't necessarily want to hear the TV's sound. So I let freevo adjust the Line-In channel when watching/recording TV. But otherwise, I also use my amplifier's remote to change the volume, not Freevo.

A problem does arise: where can I find a 5.01 version of local_conf.py? Because the 4.0 one that's included appears to be wrong. At startup, freevo complains about versions mismatch (obviously) and enumerates the differences between 4.0 and 5.01. The problem is that it shows some variables that are changed, but that are not present in my file. How should I proceed? Just change the version number in your local_conf.py to 5.01. It's only a warning that stuff changed. Maybe start the helper to rename the config variables.

Ok at fist i enabled this with the XINE_COMMAND = variable but found

--stdctrl enabled. But there is something going on what i can't understand.
See http://members.home.nl/r.winder/xine for logs.
Basicly lirc xine with DVD works ok but lirc events and avi files doesn't
seem to cooperate. Commands passed on to xine are fine and control is
given to freevo but there seem to be no eventhandler active for the lirc
events. I see some rc.set_context('video') stuff in mplayer.py and i wonder if
that has something do with it. Thinking out loud here, so bare with me.
It should work as it is, but I will look into it tomorrow. Do mpg
files work. AFAIK there are some divx out there that forces xine into
a deadlock.
It should work in current cvs -- maybe too good. If I read the code
correctly, it will always add all media. So it may happen that the
audio playlist conatins an image. I will fix that.
well not for me when i select play all/random/recursive there is no
'slideshow'. And this is with current cvs from a few ours ago.
Now it should work :-)

[Freevo-users] Re: Input Gain on SBLive
I was unable to get good recordings with OSS/kernel drivers. (Big crackles, I might not have known what mixer settings to use at that time) ALSA made things work better. I was happy, but then I think setting IGain to 1 sounds like it is over-driving a bit. ALSA's mixer for the SBLive seems very confusing - there are so many bars. Using an OSS mixer program with ALSA drivers was what finally worked for me. (I like aumix, since I don't have X on the box) I wondered if the emu10k1 driver on sourceforge was any better, but it behaves the same way. Which I guess is good enough. Has anyone been able to adjust the record level on a SB Live? What driver and what mixer control? Thanks, -Scott I ended up doing that too. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet tho...

At first, I found that freevo crashed during startup when a DVD was installed in the drive. I noticed instructions on the mailing list with a replacement for dvdinfo.py which uses mplayer to extract the play titles. I followed the instructions. My question really is what should I expect to see in the freevo menu when I have a DVD with multiple titles? The DVD I'm testing with has 7 titles, but the only thing I see in the freevo MOVIES menu is video_ts. What should I expect? Should I expect to see a submenu with the ability to select one of the 7 titles? Other points: 1) The suggested replacement for dvdinfo.py uses the mplayer dvd://1000 command, however, my version of mplayer requires the title be between 0-99. Hence, I needed to modify this to dvd://99. This however didn't change the behavior. 2) I backed out the dvdinfo.py change to the original, and the original crash problem disappeared. However, I still only have access to video_ts which is the first title. I don't know why the crash problem when away. I did install libdvdread, but continue to use the runtime.
