Running 0.9+0beta9 on linux kernel 2.4.16, with a YMFPCI card, I can play back sound files and hear videos, etc., using common programs like XMMS and Xine. However this is only true if I select OSS as the audio driver. None of the programs would work if I specifically invoked alsa (in xine, for example, by typing "xine -A alsa09"). Since this behavior affects several other programs, I am convinced this is an alsa configuration problem.
Interestingly also, I can't get any of the alsa utitlites, except for alsamixer, to work. I typically get the following error using aplay (using various combinations of options). $ aplay Nelly_Furtado_-_Like_a_Bird.wav ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:598:(snd_pcm_hw_open) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_PVERSION failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device aplay: main:445: audio open error: Inappropriate ioctl for device Any ideas? -- 04:56:21 up 3:09, 3 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.17 _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
