Hi Jon, Apologies for late reply but an Arch update borked my sytem on Saturday ;)
I am not running PulseAudio. I was hoping to get away without that but I fear that may be the only way I can get this to work. At the moment I am trying with just ALSA on a test machine with very little else. Here is a transcript showing how I set up a container with ALSA: http://starfry.pastebin.com/yjDMLppn If ALSA is not in use everything works: [r...@mycontainer ~]# aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Mono If I have something on the host using ALSA then the guest complains: [r...@mycontainer ~]# aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1018:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave aplay: main:654: audio open error: Device or resource busy Likwise, if the container has ALSA in use nothing else can use it. The setup uses Dmix. Note that two users on one "machine" can use Alsa concrrently (i.e. two users on the host or in the same container). I don't know if any of that helps at all? I think the problem is to do with dmix not being "seen" across container/host boundary. I think the host's dmix needs to be exposed in the container but I am not sure how to do that. -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web.com – Enhanced email for the mobile individual based on Microsoft® Exchange - http://link.mail2web.com/Personal/EnhancedEmail ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: Show off your parallel programming skills.
