Hallo,
the good news: I managed to get dmix running with aoss! The bad news:
It doesn't work just right. Here's my relevant ~/.asoundrc:
pcm.dsp0 {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmix"
}
ctl.mixer0 {
type hw
card 0
}
I also definded default to be dmix, too:
pcm.!default{
type plug
slave.pcm "dmix"
}
This way, I could run several alsaplayers and I could even start xmms
with the aoss hack like "aoss xmms". Xmms could play music, but it was
much too slow. The error is:
$ aoss xmms
** WARNING **: SNDCTL_DSP_SPEED ioctl failed: No such file or directory
It was not possible to run alsaplayer with OSS output and aoss.
$ aoss alsaplayer -o oss tender-lukas_nystrand-instruemental.mp3
error setting sample_rate
failed to configure output device...trying OSS
error setting sample_rate
failed to configure output device...trying OSS
This looks like the same error.
So question 1 is: Is there a way to fix this samplerate problem?
I could run sox with aoss, but then I could *only* run one instance of
sox alone without other apps acessing the device, which is not exactly
what dmix was made for.
Another problem is, that dmix only allows hw-slaves. On the Midiman
Audiophile I thus cannot play some soundfiles, for example no mono
files, unless the app converts them to stereo files.
This gives Q2: Is it planned or possible to specify plug-slaves for
dmix?
ciao
