Re: [Flightgear-devel] Runtime selection of sound device
In Ubuntu 8.04, a cvs SG/FG/DATA update a few minutes ago, and great news - all the sound is back ;=)) I do get a strange output trying the new fgfs option :- ~/fg/fg7$ ./run_fgfs.sh --show-sound-devices run_fgfs.sh: Running: ./fgfs --fg-root=/home/geoff/fg/fg7/fgfs/data --show-sound-devices ~/fg/fg7$ 0. 1. weird vorbid_get ~/fg/fg7$ But al-info now yields much better results... ~/fg/fg7$ ./run_alinfo.sh run_alinfo.sh: Running: ./al-info AL_VENDOR = OpenAL Community AL_RENDERER = Software AL_VERSION = 1.1 AL_EXTENSIONS = ALC_EXT_capture AL_EXT_capture AL_EXT_vorbis AL_EXT_MP3 AL_LOKI_quadriphonic AL_LOKI_play_position AL_LOKI_WAVE_format AL_LOKI_IMA_ADPCM_format AL_LOKI_buffer_data_callback ALC_LOKI_audio_channel ALC_MAJOR_VERSION = 1 ALC_MINOR_VERSION = 0 ALC_EXTENSIONS = ALC_DEFAULT_DEVICE_SPECIFIER = '((sampling-rate 44100) (device '(native)) alsa_blitbuffer: Could not write audio data to sound device: Input/output error ~/fg/fg7$ And the new 'alcinfo' ~/fg/fg7$ ./run_alcinfo.sh run_alcinfo.sh: Running: ./alcinfo default output device: '((sampling-rate 44100) (device '(native)) default input device: ALC Error a003 occurred: ALC_INVALID_ENUM capture support: yes mixer frequency: 0 hz Floating point exception ~/fg/fg7$ But other than that all seems good... Minor point, the 'roar' when you start the c172 engine seems a tad too loud, and almost drowns out the prop change noise as you open the throttle, and I think the wheel noises when you land, but I can live with that ;=)) I can hear the marker beacons, and the stall warning as you land... only had time for one quick circuit...
