Re: [Debian] sound programs.. no sound from VLC

2008-10-31 Thread Stefan Monnier
 I've installed Audacious, Noatun, Sonata, and VLC.  Audacious is the
 only player I've been able to hear sound from, but it skips, and very
 frequently!  Noatun will not play my music, and Sonata won't add my
 music to its library even though I redirect MPD's library path.  VLC,
 however, appears to be playing the music, but I have no sound.

 I'm using mpd with the emms Emacs client.  The sound is fine, except
 when other applications (e.g. aptitude) are taking a lot of CPU; then
 there's lots of skipping and halting.

You probably need to nice it down so it has higher priority.

[Debian] sound programs.. no sound from VLC

2008-10-30 Thread Matthew Lane
Dear community,

I'm running Debian under xfce, and I love it.  I've installed some new 
software and I love the great options of standard Debian software, but 
I'm running into troubles when it comes to playing an MP3.

I've installed Audacious, Noatun, Sonata, and VLC.  Audacious is the 
only player I've been able to hear sound from, but it skips, and very 
frequently!  Noatun will not play my music, and Sonata won't add my 
music to its library even though I redirect MPD's library path.  VLC, 
however, appears to be playing the music, but I have no sound.

Does anyone on the Debian crew know something about this, or anyone have 
some kind of additional test or solution that will be helpful?  Thanks!

have you tried mplayer or mpg321?  I bet you're running out of resources...

Re: [Debian] sound programs.. no sound from VLC

2008-10-30 Thread Didier Ptitjes
Hi!

I had to renice mplayer to -10 to get it playing an ogg file with no 
trouble at all... (with pythm under FDOM - BTW there is a conf option to 
tell the mplayer backend the nice level for the mplayer instance)

Best regards, Didier.
