[newbie] XMMS and ALSA problem
I'm looking for help/advice again. The system had been running great for 11+ days since I did an install of 10.1. The other night Mozilla locked up, and I had to reboot. Since then XMMS won't load from the user menu or the command line, it will load if I su to root and run soundwrapper xmms or just xmms. I get the below when trying to run as user from the cli. Is there a lock file somewhere? Also, ALSA seems to be acting up again, I reran alsaconf, rebooted, did the setup in the alsamixergui. If I run service alsa restart I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED] chris]$ soundwrapper xmms Unable to create symbolic link: File exists [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# service alsa restart Doing alsactl to store mixer settings...[ OK ] Shutting down ALSA sound driver (version 1.0.6): /dev/mixer: no.

You can, however, turn arts completely off and use OSS directly, you just won't get sounds in KDE or if you do get sounds, they won't coexist with other items such as xmms. To disable arts, disable it in Configuration, KDE, Sound System by turning system sounds off. However, as a first step, let me recommend that you add the PLF repository, or Charles' repository to urpmi and install xmms and xmms-arts plugin from those sites to make sure that you have the newest versions. Also, you might consider switching your hardware sound drivers from OSS to ALSA which is a newer architecture and might be better supported under newer versions of Mandrake. Thank you very much for all your help :) I've been having some other problems with my Mandrake 10 installation for music, and this is the 2nd reinstall...

Unbelievably weird. Almost like having to reboot to make any changes be effective when you run Windows. I changed the config back to oss from the xmms gui and now all is working except kde login. My guess is that kde is using arts and xmms is now using oss. KDE always uses arts for sound. But the _sound system_ (the arts daemon) uses either ALSA or OSS drivers. I think that you, since the ALSA module is built into the 2.6.xx kernels, may be better to have xmms use the arts plug-in so KDE can control the priority, but switch the sound system (menusystemconfigurationsoundSound System) to ALSA. Then there shouldn't be any more scheduling conflicts. My KDE is starting is clear, so are the media players for movies, mp3s, oggs, and disks. Does it matter? Couldn't care less about login noise.

You can, however, turn arts completely off and use OSS directly, you just won't get sounds in KDE or if you do get sounds, they won't coexist with other items such as xmms. To disable arts, disable it in Configuration, KDE, Sound System by turning system sounds off. However, as a first step, let me recommend that you add the PLF repository, or Charles' repository to urpmi and install xmms and xmms-arts plugin from those sites to make sure that you have the newest versions. Also, you might consider switching your hardware sound drivers from OSS to ALSA which is a newer architecture and might be better supported under newer versions of Mandrake. I believe it showed up as selectable after I switched from Auto to Threaded OSS for the audio device or maybe just after I re-started xmms - but it still crashed playing a file using the arts plugin. If your only sound concern is xmms, you might also try starting xmms under the soundwrapper application. Change the executeable link in your menu from xmms to soundwrapper xmms to see if that works better. - Bryan Phinney Thanks Bryan, I believe it's Charles version that I installed and PLF is already a source also.

[newbie] Xmms crashes
I have 10.0 Official installed and get sound with Realplay but xmms has problems. When I load a CD to play and click on a track it crashes. If I start a stream, it buffers and looks like it's connected - shows that it's a stereo signal, but there's no sound and the timer sits at zero. Then if I try to close it with the 'x' button, the button stays depressed and the app stays open. If I then try to go to right click and go to options or grab it at the top it closes. I'd thought it had something to do with the Arts soundwrapper - which I remember solved another problem in the past but removing it from the xmms info in the menu tool didn't help. Seems like I resolved this in an earlier version of MDK but I'm coming up blank this time. Does this behavior sound familiar to anyone? Curt Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] XMMS - Couldn't open audio
quick one for you (I think) I like to listen to my .ogg files with XMMS while at work. Trouble is about 10 times a day I get the following error message: Couldn't open audio Please check that: Your soundcard is configured properly You have the correct output plugin selected No other program is blocking the soundcard I assume that since it all worked fine 5 seconds before the error message, and then agin once I dismiss it, the first two are OK, which leaves No other program is blocking the soundcard Is it possible to raise the priority of XMMS so that it blocks other programs from using the sound card and not vica-versa. -Aidan Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

There are two ways to deal with this 1) set xmms to use the arts output plugin in the preferences or 2) lower the timeout on arts from the default of 50 seconds to something more sane, like 1 second. The biggest problem with setting xmms to use the arts output plugin is that all system sounds will be mixed with the music, which is annoying to me because I listen through headphones. Although if you choose 2 and reduce the timeout for arts, all the system sounds that tried to play during the time xmms was controlloing the soundcard will play immediately when you quit xmms.

Has anyone else experienced this? The problem lies with soundwrapper. When you use it from the CLI xmms interfaces directly with the soundcard device. When you start it from the menu it runs 'soundwrapper xmms'. As I understand it, soundwrapper allowed multiple programs to produce audio which was then transparently mixed by the KDE sound daemon. This allowed multiple channels before that functionality was implemented in hardware kernel device drivers. Most likely you do not now need it. soundwrapper is a way for applications that uses sound to be rerouted to use arts (the sound daemon for KDE) before going into the sound driver. This way, multiple applications that uses sound can be run at the same time (i.e. hearing those warning signals in gaim while playing your favorite mp3 in xmms). This is useful if you have a soundcard that doesn't support multi-channel sound sources right from the hardware (or if the linux sound driver for that hardware doesn't support multi-channel). http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=12260 So essentially this is a bug which you must work around. The solution is to right click on the K and go to Menu editor. In there locate the entry for xmms and remove the 'soundwrapper' text from the command. A.

Re: [newbie] xmms only plays when started in CLI
I have the same problem. I just open a commanline and type in 'xmms ' to send XMMS to the background. Also, if you open XMMS via the menu and you can't close it, open a commandline, type in 'ps aux' and find the line that is for XMMS. Then type in 'kill ' + the PID that the ps told you was for XMMS. It is the second column on the ps. That will kill the process and you don't have to restart X. As for a better fix, no idea. I am using MDK10CE and it has the same problem.

When it stops it is at the end of the song with 00.00 time remaining in the window with the title displayed normally everything else seems to work fine but it will not go to the next song in the directory unless I hit the next button, play will repeate the song just played.

I made xmms behave like I used winamp in windows by adding open with commands to folders with the parameters xmms -p -e to play and enque whole folders in Krusader ... one thing I'm missing though: this way I keep adding to the old playlist .. and what I'd like to do is reset the playlist.

Re: [newbie] xmms-perl
Solution was fairly simple. After looking at the error messages another time I saw that it went haywire after not finding glib.h, so i figured it must have something to do with glib, which it did.I installed ibglib1.2-devel and libglib2.0_0-devel. After that it worked just fine. :) Kasper tir, 2003-08-12 kl. 21:57 skrev Todd Slater: How bout the solution for those that come after you?

Re: [newbie] XMMS and cdread plugin
If I can correct myself - xmms-cdread is not on your CDs it is on the mirrors in Contrib.

[newbie] XMMS and cdread plugin
I've just about got my system backup again so thought I'd enjoy some cd's. Loaded up xmms and here are the problems. 1. Looking back at the archives I found Ann's message about loading the cdread plugin. Found it at rpmfind although it was the cooker version, I downloaded and installed. Bringing up the preferences in xmms the cdread plugin is nowhere to be found in the input plugin list although I've confirmed its in the correct directory under xmms. 2. I can't even bring up a list of the .wav files on my cd with xmms although .mp3s show up fine after I mount the drive. WAV files play fine with KsCD player though. Any ideas where I need to go from here?
