Hi,
Just for clarity to others reading, we discussed and tried to debug this
issue a lot on IRC already, so I'm familiar with the problem.
'Twas brillig, and Mihai Sucan at 09/05/10 12:06 did gyre and gimble:
4. somehow i think that mplayer -ao pulse does "pretty much the same" as
it does mplayer -ao oss from the rvm Ubuntu PPA. The latter did take
control of the sound card, via OSS. The former does somehow take control
of the sound card, pulseaudio looses it, then mplayer happily goes on to
use pulseaudio for subsequent audio stream output, but now ...
pulseaudio
is silenced.
Well mplayer -ao oss will bypass pulse completely and, as you say,
basically "hog" the sound h/w. You can theoretically use:
padsp mplayer -ao oss
and that should redirect oss output via PA too, but this may or may not
work overly reliably (aka YMMV).
The result of calling padsp mplayer -ao oss is the same:
1. I can see now mplayer with OSS emulation in pavucontrol, vu meter is
fine, audio stream activity, etc.
2. I hear no sound, pulseaudio is borked/hogged.
3. Changing the card profile back and forth does make it work, while
mplayer is running.
So, no luck.
Best regards,
Mihai
