Hello everyone, I've had really great results with ALSA's ice1712 driver getting pro-audio applications working. I've been constantly impressed at how well things work!
However, I really can't figure out how to get it to do simple things like playback music and IM boings ::-) I'd eventually like to get dmixing setup, but I can't even get simple playback going. When I point apps at hw:0 they all complain that the device doesn't support their sample format. ogg123 complains "ALSA snd_pcm_hw_params_set_periods error: Invalid argument". Of course the irony is that everything works really well through OSS emulation. I just want to get used to ALSA naming, get dmix setup, and stop using esd. My /etc/asound.conf follows; it only contains configuration to multiplex OSS emulation devices. Why can JACK apps use my ALSA setup fine, but not ALSA apps? Thanks for the help! pcm.ossmix { type dmix ipc_key 1024 # must be unique! slave { pcm "hw:0,0" # you cannot use a "plug" device here, darn. period_time 0 period_size 1024 # must be power of 2 buffer_size 4096 # dito. It rate 44100 } bindings { 0 0 # from 0 => to 0 1 1 # from 1 => to 1 } } pcm.dsp0 { type plug slave.pcm "ossmix" # use our new PCM here } ctl.mixer0 { type hw card 0 } -- Ross Vandegrift [EMAIL PROTECTED] A Pope has a Water Cannon.
