[Alsa-user] two apps using sound
Hi! Please help me to understand if this is a fundamental issue in Alsa or just a misconfiguration in my system. Symptoms: Amarok or Mplayer can not initialize sound after watching a clip from Youtube in Firefox. It takes closing the Firefox to release the sound system.

Re: [Alsa-user] OSS out SPDIF Port SoundBlaster Live!
Well, I've learned the dsp_map=3 switch does indeed do something. Changing it's value causes an oss file to appears under pcm2p, pcm3p, based upon this switch. However, I never get sound out the spdif port. How does this work anyways? How does the pcm get converted to a digital stream out the spdif? Jim Jim Duda wrote: Can anyone explain how I can get the PCM sound normally sent through /dev/dsp to route out through the SPDIF port on a SoundBlaster Live! (emu10k1)? I've seen one posting which claims that all I need to do is add options snd-pcm-oss dsp_map=3 to modprobe.conf. Unfortunately, that doens't seem to work for me. Can anyone offer any advice as to how to debug or figure out how what needs to be done? Thanks, Jim - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Alsa-user] ALSA (linux2.6) support for ARM platform?
Hi folks, From the technical report What's new in Linux 2.6, http://free-electrons.com/doc/linux26.pdf It says: ALSA replaced OSS. However, ALSA still incompatible with the ARM platform. Made x86 architecture related assumption that conflicts with ARM caching mechanisms. Plain audio playback can still be achieved though. So will there be a problem if we are going to use ALSA on ARM platform? And if this is a problem, are there any solutions for the ARM platform to run Linux ALSA?
