Package: cmus
Version: 2.3.3-2
Severity: important


Cmus 2.3.3 fails to play any audio files, instead giving one of two
messages. "Error: Opening audio device: Internal error" displays if I have
output_plugin set to pulse (I do not have the pulse audio server
installed); if I change output_plugin to alsa, then I get the message
"Error: opening audio device: No such file or directory" instead. This
renders the package completely unusable on my system; stderr and stdout do
not provide me with any further information as to what is going on.

Thank you for any help you can provide (or any instructions you can give
me as to what information I ought to provide you).

Yours, Morgan Hamill

Bug#593595:

2010-08-19 Thread C. Morgan Hamill
Howdy there,

It seems that dsp.alsa.device, mixer.alsa.device, and
mixer.alsa.channel are all unset in the current install of cmus. After
setting the latter to "Master" or "PCM" and the former two to
"default", as the cmus man page indicates is the common value,
everything works fine.

Yours, Morgan Hamill
