Fair enough that two cards would play back sound at slightly different speeds, but why can't you just drop a sample or two every few milliseconds or so, to keep the sound roughly in sync? How do you know how much to slew the playback by? Say I have two sound cards in my box. Each sound card has an independent crystal that generates a clock for timekeeping. The crystals are rated to resonate at some fixed frequency, but there will always be a margain of error. Even two identical parts from the same manufacturer will produce different errors in their clock. At first, the issue isn't a big deal, since the difference may be small. But as time ticks by, many small differences begin to add up to bigger and bigger difference. This type of error is called drift. In addition, a crystal is a physical process, and so occasionally there are abberant ticks. This causes sudden loss of time tracking. This type of error is called jitter. The two together are a deadly combination. You need some way of mitigating both to keep stuff in sync. One way is to use some out-of-band data to slave one card to the other card's timesource. Lots of pro gear does this with word clock, spdif links, and the like. You can solve the problem for your PC's internal clock with NTP. Moreover, if you're interested in timekeeping issues like this, the NTP research papers are an amazing source of a huge amount of information on this kind of stuff. LDAS (the low delay audio streamer) does something similar - it has to compensate for the drift between two machines clocks' that exchange audio over the network but you could apply the algorithm to two cards on one box. It uses the ALSA API and is believed to accomplish this with the lowest achievable latency. http://www.q2s.ntnu.no/~asbjs/ldas/ldas.html Lee --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

It sounds like your card is like my Audigy2 soundblaster then. You will need to load a soundfont onto the card. If you have the cdrom for the card, the soundfont (.sf2) should be somewhere on it, and you'll need to copy it to your home directory. If you havn't got the cdrom, you can get GM (General Midi) soundfonts from, http://www.hammersound.net . To load the soundfont you will need the package awesfx which may or may not already be installed. Then on the CLI, run, sfxload path_to_soundfont_filename without the double quotes. If you cannot load soundfonts onto the card, you could always use Qsynth, which is the front end to fluidsynth, and load a soundfont into that. Incidentally. Which distro, and desktop are you using? If you're using KDE, I have a small script you can use to autoload the soundfont onto the card. Let us know how you get on. Nigel. --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Are these 2,6 ms valid for input AND output - thus does it take 2,6 ms for capturing + 2,6ms for playing back the signal (= 5,2 ms total delay) ? Thanks in advance Yes, that's how it works. There could be up to one period between the capture and playback interrupts, so your input to output latency is anywhere from 5.2ms to 7.8ms. Plus the soundcard ADCs may add up to 1ms of latency, so if you measured it with a scope it could be as high as 10ms. If you can get it to work at 128 frames you'll be in good shape, but that pushes the limits of what the standard kernel can keep up with. Lee --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

You don't say whether you are trying to use the ALSA or OSS driver. And
your dmesg has no mention at all of a sound card, it just shows that hde
is failing.
First, if you were trying to load the OSS driver, try the ALSA driver,
and post the output of dmesg when loading snd-sb16 and the output of
cat /proc/asound/cards.

Is another possibility to somehow have the plugin go through aoss when it plugs itself in? I don't think this is possible because aoss uses an LD_PRELOAD hack and that can only be done at startup when all shared libraries are loaded. There's an open feature request for Firefox to run plugins in a separate process, the main advantage of which is that you can prevent them from sucking 100% of your CPU, it would also allow this. Since we have many reports that aoss works well with Flash, I think the best solution is to ask the distros which use ALSA by default (all of them now I think) to make /usr/bin/firefox or whatever a wrapper around aoss firefox.

Where did you get this .asoundrc? The bindings syntax is completely
wrong.
There is a lot of terrible advice regarding ALSA configuration floating
around on the net. The best advice is to use the default configuration.
A proper bindings section looks like:
bindings [

{ slave 0 channel 1 }
{ slave 1 channel 0 }

There is no datasheet, the Linux driver was reverse engineered. Humm, my memory says otherwise, Lee. There was a time 4 years or so back up the log when emu10k1 was not part of the kernel tree. If you had an SBLive (mine is a Value) then you went to a site creative had setup, downloaded the srcs and built it on the target machine. And when it was merged, I had assumed that those srcs had been officially donated by creative. From the top of emu10k1_main.c: /* * Copyright (c) by Jaroslav Kysela [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Creative Labs, Inc. * Routines for control of EMU10K1 chips * * Copyright (c) by James Courtier-Dutton [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Added support for Audigy 2 Value. So I believe that confirms my theory. The emu10k1x is not the emu10k1. The former is only in Dell machines and the driver was reverse engineered. The latter driver is based on one that Creative contributed. Lee Lee --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!

Your best bet is to contact the copyright owner of the Linux driver, and ask their permission to write a BSD licensed driver based on it. Isn't it GPL? He can write one for himself-- he already has permission. He could include it in a distro as well, but under GPL-- not sure if a module makes the kernel into a derived work but I would doubt it. Of course getting permission to make it a BSD license might be cleanest, but I don't think is needed, is it? Yes, the GPL does not allow you to take a GPL driver and write a BSD licensed driver based on it. Agreed. But it does allow you to take a GPL driver and write a GPL licensed driver based on it. Then the question is whether that GPL licensed driver can be used withing FreeBSD-- ie if there is anything in the FreeBSD license which makes use of a GPL driver contrary to the license. I do not think that the GPL license would forbid its use in FreeBSD. Ah, OK. I just assumed that FreeBSD would only accept BSD licensed drivers. You are right, he is probably free to use his own GPL'ed driver with FreeBSD, I suspect it just could not be accepted into a distribution. Lee --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

It sounds like XMMS is configured to using the hw:X PCM rather than one of the dmix PCMs you have defined, or it's using OSS emulation. Lee --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

It is kernel 2.6.11 (which updated the 2.6.8 kernel in Mandrake 10.1) So whatever alsa is in 2.6.11 is what I have. (I think it is 1.0.8) I had the 1.0.6 alsa utils, which I updated to 1.0.9, but that made no difference. The question of course is NOT why aumix has a volume control which works but why the alsa mixer (which surely is part of alsa) has no volume control, and as a result I could not turn up the output volume using alsamixer. Surely the complete absense of a volume control is a bug. By the way how in the world do I find out what the alsa level is in some kernel. I have looked through the sound/* source code in the 2.6.11 kernel and can find no indiction anywhere of the alsa level. And I cannot seem to find the level anywhere in the modules. cat /proc/asound/version --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!
