Greetings all,
I have a problem getting XMMS to play sound on my MacBook Pro under
Leopard (10.5.2).
XMMS launches just fine, and renders fine in X11, but when I attempt to
play an audio file (wav, mp3, ogg) using the ESound Output Plugin, i get
an error dialog showing the following text:
"Couldn't open audio: Please check that:
1.You have the correct output plugin selected
2.No other programs is blocking the soundcard
3.Your soundcard is configured properly "
I've installed XMMS 1.2.10 and ESound 0.2.38-1.
XMMS is launching from the Apple native X11.app, ( X11.app 2.1.1 -
(xorg-server 1.3.0-apple5) )
I haven't done any patching to X11 (I'm thinking specifically of the
available XQuartz updates from http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki),
or any customization. It's out of the box as far as I can readily tell.
I've followed along with the instructions in the Fink FAQ, 9.1, trying
to resolve the no sound problem. Sadly to no avail.
It seems to be a semi-common thing for folks to run into difficulty
using XMMS on Fink, but for each of the problem threads I've come across
that match my symptom, none of the resolutions seem to fix the issue.
For example:
1) I've restarted after installing the XMMS and Esound packages
2) I've recompiled both.
3) I've launched X11.app, and typed the following into XTERM:
bash-3.2$ ps -awx | grep esd
59 ?? 0:03.83 /System/Library/CoreServices/coreservicesd
56654 ttys009 0:00.00 grep esd
bash-3.2$ /sw/bin/esd &
[1] 56655
bash-3.2$ ps -awx | grep esd
59 ?? 0:03.84 /System/Library/CoreServices/coreservicesd
56655 ttys009 0:00.08 /sw/bin/esd
56658 ttys009 0:00.00 grep esd
bash-3.2$ /sw/bin/xmms &
[2] 56656
4) I also installed the sndplay 1.1 application from Fink:
$ fink list -i sndplay
Information about 6685 packages read in 0 seconds.
i sndplay 1.1-1 Simple CLI sound
player for OS X
The following command does indeed replayed audio perfictly (a cute
little maxwell house tune):
$ sndplay /Volumes/Southern/Music/MH.wav
I tried the same thing with XMMS, and got the same error message.
Figured I'd try from the command line, and using the same wav file
for consistency.
$ xmms /Volumes/Southern/Music/MH.wav
I know i've probably missed something obvious, or at least another trial
to test with, but I've been working on this for most of this Sunday and
I'm crying uncle. If any one has any kindly suggestions for what I might
be able to try next to get XMMS working with ESD, I would greatly
appreciate it.
Also, I *think* I've covered most of the env. info that would be useful
below. If I've left any thing out, please let me know and I'll be happy
to supply!
