Hi there, This is off-topic, but there´s a chance that someone here knows. I just found how funny and addictive is the Frets On Fire (FOF) game. Configure freevo to launch it was easy, but I found a annoying problem (not freevo related). FOF works by mixing two ogg audio streams, one with the guitar part of the song, and another with the other instruments.The problem is that the game expects to use a sample rate of 44.1khz and my sound card just cant do hardware mixing at 44.1khz, only at 48khz. The specs from shuttle says that the sound card is a Realtek ALC888DD (snd-hda-intel module on my 2.6.23.9 kernel). The card can play 44.1khz streams just fine, but cant mix two or more, so when playing the game I cant only hear "half" of the song.
Alsa was suposed to use dmix when hardware mixing is not there. But it didnt work either. I tried to write a asoundrc file to explicit tell alsa to use dmix, overriding pcm.!default and pointing it to a "swmixer", but without success. Even if the file looks ok, and I can use the config with "alsaplayer -d swmixer <song>" the game just cant mix the two streams. Strangely enough if I set the game to use a sample rate of 22050hz it works, but at the cost of some sound quality. Changing the sample rate to 48khz in the game also works, but in this case the music play faster, with higher pitch, and gets out of sync with the video. Does anyone has any idea of how to fix it? perhaps there´s a magic asoundrc? or a SDL option as the game is made in python/sdl ? -- Christian Lyra PoP-PR/RNP ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
