The otherday I found Rhythymbox (Gnome GST file player/ipod like music manager) and decided to give it a shot. After fiddling with it I realized that its not also compatable yet (Damn them! :)
Up to this point I have not used alsa's oss emulation at all. I decided
to give it a shot. As I need to route all sound to spdif i need to wrap
(from what I understand) the program with aoss to to some preload magic.
my .asoundrc is pretty simple:
pcm.emu10k1 {
type hw
card 0
}
ctl.emu10k1 {
type hw
card 0
}
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "spdif"
}
So, i run aoss rhythmbox and no sound. So, i decide to to test something
simpler like wavplay.
aoss wavplay blah.wav produces a split second of audio (which is not
distorted and sounds ok for the second that it plays) then hardlocks my
box. Have to physically throw the power switch in the back. logs show
nothing outputed before it locks anywhere. kernel is 2.6.4. Its a nvidia
nforce2 mboard (couldnt find a spdif adapter that hooked up to its
internal spidif header so I currently have an old sblive gamer 5.1 in
it). Using alsa from 2.6.4 compiled as modules. alsa lib 1.0.3b-r1 and
alsa-oss 1.0.3a (gentoo)
I'm happy to provide more info if needed.
Anyone have a clue whats happening? :)
