Hi,
I tried to use the current CVS version of the alsa lib and aserver tool.
I would like to use two instances of aplay in the same time.
First, I tried with this configuration :
server.local {
host localhost
socket /tmp/alsa
port 8888
}
pcm.shared_left {
type share
slave.pcm "plughw:0,0,0"
bindings {
0 0
}
}
pcm.shared_right {
type share
slave.pcm "plughw:0,0,0"
bindings {
0 1
}
}
pcm.remote_left {
type shm
server local
pcm "plug:shared_left"
}
pcm.remote_right {
type shm
server local
pcm "plug:shared_right"
}
I started my aserver in a terminal, it works, but when I start aplay in
another terminal, overruns always occur (messages like "xrun!!! (at least
0.083 ms long)" ).
I also tried aserver with another configuration :
server.other {
host 127.0.0.1
socket /tmp/alsa
}
pcm.test {
type shm
server other
pcm 0_6_7
}
pcm.test2 {
type shm
server toto
pcm 0_0_1
}
pcm.0_6_7 {
type plug
ttable.0.6 1
ttable.1.7 1
slave.pcm {
type hw
card 0
}
}
pcm.0_0_1 {
type plug
ttable.0.0 1
ttable.1.1 1
slave.pcm {
type hw
card 0
}
}
When I start aserver and only one aplay (aplay -D test file.wav) process, it
works, but when I start a second instance of aplay (aplay -D test2 file.wav),
aserver tells that the ressource is busy whereas I saw that aserver open the
device in SND_PCM_NONBLOCK mode.
Does anyone have an idea ?
Thanks in advance,
Nico
