Hi all, I've been messing with the drivers and kernels and eventually installed the latest RH 7.2.93 (Beta a.k.a. Skipjack) with 2.4.18 kernel.
Here's the scoop. With OSS Free the thing only does non-duplex stuff. With OSS/Commercial, it can run 2 concurrent operations (through Artsd it can even share the mic input), but the third invoking of the dsp input (possibly even output, not sure) simply trashes the sound and causes white-noise like junk to be outputted. With Alsa, everything works fine as long as there is only one stream (2 would be much greater for real-time stuff since one could be used for mixing through artsdsp of streams, while other would be used for real-time processing). Now, if I could get the artsd to work with alsa drivers that would be the ultimate thing. Right now, artsd works fine with audio output, but in terms of input it simply is silent, no matter which input I choose. I've also discovered that Kmix and aumix give different set of audio settings than alsamixer, and while you can select microphone as the recordable source in the alsamixer, you can't in the other two (aumix and kmix), and maybe this is the reason why no input ever gets through the artsd. So, my question is, how do I make artsd aware of the alsa's input settings, as well as aumix and kmix. I also noticed that artsd does not offer alsa driver as one of the audio settings options. Now, this may be just the RH quirk, but if not, can I somehow recompile it or do something with the artsd so that I can become aware of the Alsa's settings? I know there are other options out there (i.e. Jack), but the apps I am currently using are not jack-ified and therefore I can't use them for those purposes. I also tried LD_PRELOAD hack with the libaoss, but that one reports errors when run with the app I am using (RTcmix, which is OSS only at this time). Finally, I tried starting artsd with -a alsa flag, but that gave me: Unable to select 'alsa' style audio I/O I would greatly appreciate your help on this issue. Thank you!
