Hi there,
strange problem here, I don't quite know where to look. ARts seems to play
only audio files and crash on streamed audio.
The basic sound system (ALSA) works: xmms can play the desired streams and
audio files perfectly well. Artsd also seems to work as I can get system
notifications and play audio files with noatun and amaroK.
Strange things start when using libarts in xmms. I get "failed to open audio
output: aRts Output 0.7.1". The console output is
| Message: wait_for_helper(): select failed: Interrupted system call
| Message: waiting failed: 1
| Message: helper_cmd_data(): failed
| Message: helper has not terminated
| Message: Init failed: 1
| Message: helper_cmd_data(): failed
| Message: helper has not terminated
| xmms-mad-Message: failed to open audio output: aRts Output 0.7.1
It gets even stranger trying to play streamed audio. A different dialog
appears saying "Couldn't open audio" in the title and furter "Please check
that soundcard is configured correctly ...".
| Message: wait_for_helper(): select failed: Interrupted system call
| Message: waiting failed: 1
| Message: helper_cmd_data(): failed
| Message: helper has not terminated
| Message: Init failed: 1
| Message: helper_cmd_data(): failed
| Message: helper has not terminated
At both times I can get system notifications so artsd seems to work.
As said above, noatun plays audio files. When I open a stream, I get the
following output on the console and arts crashes with SIGSEGV.
| MCOP StartupManager: adding a StartupClass after Dispatcher init will not
| work.
| (The previous message was repeated 1 times.)
| unix_connect: can't connect to server
| (unix:/tmp/ksocket-chris/localhost.localdomain-1b26-4460a256)
| Launched ok, pid = 6989
I can try to play it again, hear some cracks in the speakers (artsd seems to
be restarting) and artsd crashes again -- this time noatun also quits with
this message on the console.
| *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0xa7b2dd08 ***
| KCrash: Application 'noatun' crashing...
About the same results for amaroK. It plays audio files and I could just now
play a stream for a few seconds! Trying again it eats up all CPU time, does
not react on inputs and does not play anything, but I can get system
notifications. I also once got it crashing artsd with a SIGSEGV like noatun.
| QObject::connect: No such slot ArtsEngine::newStreamData(char*,int)
| QObject::connect: (sender name: 'unnamed')
| QObject::connect: (receiver name: 'unnamed')
For the details: I tried the newest unstable versions of xmms and xmms-arts,
noatun and amaroK on a current KDE install.
