I have simplified the seq.c in the alsa-driver-test direcory for me to also understand.
The program is now quite short and outputs a note and quits here is it ----------- #include <stdio.h> #include "alsa/asoundlib.h" int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { snd_seq_t *handle; snd_seq_event_t ev; snd_seq_open(&handle, "hw", SND_SEQ_OPEN_DUPLEX, 0); snd_seq_alloc_queue(handle); bzero(&ev, sizeof(ev)); ev.dest.client=65; ev.dest.port=0; ev.type = SND_SEQ_EVENT_NOTEON; ev.data.note.channel = 0; ev.data.note.note = 64 ; ev.data.note.velocity = 127; snd_seq_event_output_direct(handle, &ev); sleep(1); ev.type = SND_SEQ_EVENT_NOTEOFF; snd_seq_event_output_direct(handle, &ev); snd_seq_drain_output(handle); return 0; } There are two questions ? Why doesn't it work if I allocate no queue ? There is no need for a queue as i directly output events What does "hw" mean ? what are the other possibilities ? _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
