I need some help getting audio working with xine.
xine is running from a recent fedora 10 distribution.
lroom# xine --version
This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.99.5.
(c) 2000-2007 The xine Team.
The .xine/config file has this info for audio:
lroom# grep audio config | grep -v '#'
audio.driver:alsa
audio.device.alsa_front_device:default
audio.output.speaker_arrangement:Pass Through
My audio system uses spdif optical connection to my surround box.
If I run xine without a .asoundrc file, it works fine.
audio_alsa_out : supported modes are 8bit 16bit 24bit 32bit mono stereo
(4-channel not enabled in xine config) (4.1-channel not enabled in xine
config) (5-channel not enabled in xine config) 5.1-channel a/52 and DTS
pass-through
audio_out: thread created
I get into trouble when I introduce a .asoundrc file:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "Filter_RateConvert"
}
pcm.ac3_raw {
type plug
slave.pcm
"iec958:CARD=CMI8768,DEV=0,AES0=0x6,AES1=0x82,AES2=0x0,AES3=0x2"
}
pcm.ac3_encode {
type plug
slave.pcm "Filter_RateConvert"
}
pcm.Filter_RateConvert {
type rate
slave {
pcm "stereoupmix"
rate 48000
}
}
pcm.stereoupmix {
type upmix
slave.pcm "a52encode"
channels 6
}
pcm.pulse_a52 {
type plug
slave.pcm "a52encode"
}
ctl.pulse_a52 {
type hw
card "CMI8768"
}
pcm.a52encode {
type a52
card "CMI8768"
}
pcm.pulse {
type pulse
}
ctl.pulse {
type pulse
}
I need this .asoundrc for other reasons. When I run with this
.asoundrc, xine won't load the alsa driver. I don't get any
audio through oss because I need the spdif path.

I cannot figure out what alsa is looking for. I certainly understand
that it doesn't like pcm.!default or similar. I've tried using all
different configurations and settings in the config file.
I find the alsa .asoundrc syntax rather confusing at times. I can
usually figure out what to do. I'm at a loss trying to understand what
xine is complaining about.
Does anyone understand how all this works?
Given my .asoundrc, what do I need in the .asoundrc and/or my
.xine/config to get this working with .asoundrc?
Thanks,
Jim
