Hi, im having trouble with alsa using quake3 together with teamspeak on my soundblaster live. With oss/free this works though.
So, TeamSpeak is a voice-communication tool (www.teamspeak.org), which allows you to speak to a group of people while e.g. gaming. Since it is used so much with games, it is not unusuall to try and launch quake3 while TeamSpeak is running. The Problem is: quake cant load up if I try so, at "sound initialization" it hangs up. With the oss/kernel modules it workes fine (quake3 can open /dev/dsp although TeamSpeak has already done so)... The problem seems to be, that both try and open /dev/dsp for read AND write (TeamSpeak has to do so, of course, why quake does it this way i dont know). Somewhere I read about /dev/adsp being a playback only device, so I thought I could force quake3 to use that, and have /dev/dsp for TeamSpeak. The Problem is: /dev/adsp doesnt seem to work at all, all programms I tell to use it (xmms, zinf, xine...) tell me my sound setup is broken, or /dev/adsp no such device (yes /dev/adsp exists). Why does quake3 load fine with oss/free but not on alsa0.9 ? Whats the matter with /dev/adsp ? Is there no such thing with snd-emu10k1 ? How should I go about to fix this problem (without reverting to use oss/free) ?
