Re: [SLUG] Rhythmbox -> GStreamer osssink-> Alsa -> snd-intel8x0.. Something here is crackling...

2004-05-12 Thread David Gillies
I've tried using pretty similiar versions of rhythmbox on Fedora Core 1 
with a laptop with an intel 8x0 audio card with exactly the same problems.

Back to xmms I guess :-(

Basically, the problem is that as soon as I try to play something in 
rhythmbox the song starts to crackle.

Now, at the moment I'm using the osssink as alsasink gives me the 
following error message.

And I know (well, think I know..) that the Alsa OSS emulation is working

So. What's happening? Does anyone know? I've looked around for similar 
problems, but haven't found them.

Unfortunately, alsasink was pretty broken in the 0.6 series GStreamer, and
not helped by the terrible quality of the i8x0 sound hardware (I have the
same chipset :-/)

It's unlikely to be fixed until the new stable 0.8 debs make it into debian. I
know the debs are built, but not why they're not in unstable yet.

You may have more luck using esdsink with that soundcard, or harassing the
package maintainer to finish off his 0.8 debs.
