Thanks to various of you for the helpful mail. Am going to try out a few
things from you later today.
Sasha, Yes, I'm new to Plan9. I just realised he extent of the private name
space yesterday, when discovering that certain things done in the rio window
had not affected the acme window.
Re your question, I found acd in /acme/bin/386

Subject: Re: [9fans] Still trying to acd going
I mailed a couple of days ago on this subject but have not found an
answer yet. It would be vey nice to get this very neat
bit of software going.
I've got an interesting question for you, where can I find 'acd' :) ? I
have no manpage, no source-code, no binary with that name, nor a grep acd
/n/sources/contrib/*/INDEX found something.
Following a reply from Gabi Diaz(?) who suggested
that the Ensoniq es1371 was not supported, I dug up an oldish SB16 card
but have still had no success.
SB16 works, but AC97-cards (the ensoniq-chip is ac97) don't. Likely to
change because I am an audiophile and will start to work on drivers some
day. ;)
From earlier postings, I've tried
audio0=type=sb16 port=0x220 (as well as audio1, type=ess1688 and various
other ports) in plan9.ini, and have run bind '#A' /dev.
I have this one in my plan9.ini. I typed those values in from memory, I
was 'passivly' using computers when ISA was in, so I never really got how
to find these numbers out without trial-and-error methods:
audio0=type=sb16 port=0x220 irq=7 dma=5
(it is the only ISA-card on a two ISA-slot board, if that matters
(probably doesn't)).
Note two things:
1.) After this is in your plan9.ini, the kernel/driver will know what to
do. You will still have to bind the file-system provided by the
audio-driver into your namespace - that is bind -a '#A' /dev ...
2.) You are new to Plan9? Did you yet notice that there are private
namespaces? That means if you open a window, and bind #A into your
namespace, just that client (and childs) will see /dev/audio.. if you look
in window2, you will not see /dev/audio in there until you bind it there,
too (or, you put the bind 'up one layer', so bind #A before rio starts.
Or, in acme, execute "Local bind -a '#A' /dev" (see Local in acme(1)).
But I am pretty sure gdiaz is right that 'acd', however where it is ;), as
a cd-player (it apperently is), will just command the ATAPI-drive to
start/stop playing. I do not know if you can change the volume from
software, maybe check for that.
Mfg, Sascha
