Package: mpg321
Version: 0.2.13-2
Severity: normal
This is a repeat of bug #286176, which was either never fixed or broken
immediately thereafter.
The mpg321 man page says, of -a:
For -o alsa, specify card:device; defaults to 0:0.
Without -o, the default is ao_default_driver_id(). With -o alsa, it is
ao_driver_id("alsa") with no arguments. In neither case is the default
ever 0:0. So that is disinformation. The true default is an out-of-band
value which cannot be specified with the -a option.
But more to the point, the format -a 0:0 is bogus in every way. The
actual format is -a alsa:hw:0 for the default, or -a alsa:hw:1 for the
second card. Prefixing with "alsa:" was a wild-assed guess on my part,
and may not be the preferred option (though it is the only working one
that I found).
It is lame that this is still misdocumented. When I first started ALSA
programming 10 years ago, I found that the API had changed radically from
the date of documentiation to the current date. Funny that this would
still be true today for high-level features of maintained packages that
derive from ALSA. Could someone please tell the ALSA&libao guys that
their inability to stick with anything that works is screwing up the
end-user experience as well as the programmer and package maintainer
experience? They deserve a little unpleasantness and disgratitude for
their wankery. The act of repeatedly breaking an API or command-line
interface is not productive upkeep of an open source project. It is not
a contribution but rather a subtle form of sabotage in the service of
ego.
Thanks,
- Greg

Description:
mpg321 - Simple and lightweight command line MP3 player
Closes: 623941
Changes:
mpg321 (0.2.13-3) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Fixed the really annoying bug which didn't restore the TTY
when mpg321 exited.
* Updated S-V to 3.9.2
- debian/copyright file has been revised.
- debian/rules file has been revised.
* Fixed '-a' option to conform with ALSA's uniform device naming. Also
changed man to conform with this change. Now you can use alsa driver
by setting the name of the audio device using the hw:x,y syntax,
where x and y are numbers. For example, if there is only one device
installed, in most cases, the device should be named hw:0,0.
When there is only one device, the device should always have the
same name and numbers. Finally if the default driver which mpg321
is compiled is ALSA then you don't have to specify it with the '-o'
option and you can use '-a' only to specify the audio device.
(Closes: Bug#623941).
