I have a SoundBlaster PCI128 (ES1371) in my computer, and for the life
of me I have the weirdest problem. Of course I don't have the problem
if I put a ISA SB16 in place of it. So it's gotta be ES1371 related.
Okay, the ES1371 works great with all but one application (that I have
found so far). If I try and use play (a wrapper shipped with sox), it
works one time and than no more. But I am able to work fine using
mpg123, xmms for example. All three of these use the OSS interface to
the sound device.
I have begun looking at the applications trying to determine which one
does something differently, and so far have made little headway at all
on this. As I said this works fine if I put a SB16 ISA card back in the
computer instead of the ES1371. So it's related to something the ES1371
driver isn't doing. The weird part is that it plays the wav file once.
Okay while I was writing this I have found a more interesting note.
This appears to only happen when I'm trying to play a MONO file. It
plays stereo files just fine (these are .wav files btw). Now what
doesn't make sense about this is I have tried forcing mono on mpg123 and
xmms and they both still work fine.
So if anyone has any ideas, please shoot them to me. Otherwise I will
continue my quest to figure out why this is broke.
