[Alsa-user] [ANN] AlsaPlayer 0.99.55 released

2002-03-08 Thread Andy Lo A Foe

Hi,

AlsaPlayer 0.99.55 is up for download. This release mainly features bug
fixes and minor jack support improvements. There are also some new prefs 
settings. We now remember which path you used in the different file
dialogs. I also removed the Qt interface plugin for now as it was
causing some build problems. It will be back as a downloadable plugin.
The webpage also received an update. It should be easier to navigate.

[Alsa-user] [ANN] AlsaPlayer 0.99.57

2002-03-18 Thread Andy Lo-A-Foe

Hello!

AlsaPlayer 0.99.57 was released. Highlights in this release include some
new (xmms ported) scopes, Blurscope and the OpenGL Spectrum Analyzer.
Porting scopes has proven to be relatively easy. Overall scope
performance has become smoother too.
The preferences system was also changed slightly. You will notice this
the first time you start this version when the old prefs are "converted".
The play button behaviour improved a bit and of course the usual number
of other small bugfixes.

Get your copy at:

Nope, alsaplayer doesn't touch the hardware mixer settings at all. It
does all volume/panning in software. 

Do you save your mixer settings i.e. alsactl store  ?
If you have set up modules.conf to autoload the mixer settings (alsactl
restore) when the alsa drivers load it might restore old settings.

Hi Stephane,

Are you installing it from .rpms?

You probably needs the libstdc++*.rpm package too. Which distribution is
this BTW? The package should have a dependancy on libstdc++.

Let me know if it works...

Whoops, looks like the 0.5 output plugin was not properly included in
the latest archive. Fixed in the next release.

There is an esd output plugin available for alsaplayer, just use -o
esound. AlsaPlayer also supports the JACK sound daemon for very low
latency performance. Unfortunately it's one of only 3 apps that support JACK
right now ;-) This should change soon, hopefully...

I have only ever tested it in mono. Not sure 5.1 works. My original
interests were real-time AC3 encoding. However, it looks like even a
1.4GHZ Athlon is too slow to do real-time *mono* AC-3 encoding, let
alone full blown 5.1 :/ .. at least with the ffmpeg codebase

this is an alsaplayer problem. It probably misdetects the allowed values
for number of periods. I'll check this out.

These settings definitely require realtime scheduling for proper
operation. Without realtime scheduling (-r) you will hear clicks
everytime the scheduler fails to meet the (tight) deadline.

AlsaPlayer 'rips' CD audio digitally in realtime from your CD drive in
order to play it. Most other CD players just send PLAY commands to the
CDROM drive which does the digital-analog decoding and feeds it to the
soundcard's CD-in connector. This requires no CPU interaction at all.
Both methods have their pros and cons of course.

My USB keyboard always times out after the caps lock key is first
used. But overall keyboard interrupts should not be the source of xruns
(work as the results of keypresses is another thing ;)

Not that I know of.

2003-12-07 Thread Andy Lo A Foe
Hi,

AlsaPlayer 0.99.76 is out. This is a bugfix release. Things should run
much better on NPTL enabled systems (e.g. latest Debian and Redhat). The
playlist doesn't loop by default anymore. There were also some cleanups
in the core. The next few releases will focus on bringing in a new GTK2
based interface and improving support for JACK.

Most soundcards only have a single CD-in analog connector. I take it
your first drive is connected to this. If that's true, you will only get
CD audio from the second unit if you read the audio over the data
cable (CDDA). AlsaPlayer, http://www.alsaplayer.org has (very) limited
support for this.

AFAIK the alsa05 driver is no longer actively maintained. Can you try it
with the 0.9.0beta series? I did some work on the alsa xine drivers but
it was more to get digital output over S/PDIF. It might be better to use
oss output if you're only using stereo output.

Also make sure you remove config.cache in alsa-driver when reconfiguring
