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

Hi Morgan,

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.
Good to hear that you got it working.
I do not know the C* Music Player, but it seems from your nice clear
descriptions that really it wasn't a problem in (packaging of) that
program after all, but instead general configuration of your system.
Perhaps you should check if the package alsa-base is installed, which
helps configure sane defaults for ALSA. Also consider using either the
command-line based alsamixer (in the package alsa-utils) or one of the
many graphical tools to configure ALSA. Oh well - in a way that's what
you tell that you actually did :-)
cmus do not recommend alsa-base - probably because it supports multiple
audio backends - but other parts of a standard install does, and even if
it is possible to use alsa without it, having that package installed
should make it an easier ride.
I hereby close this bugreport. If you feel that is wrong, then either
keep posting to this bugreport and we will consider reopening, or (if
you feel that is more appropriate after above info) file a new bug
against alsabase or other parts of the ALSA infrastructure.
Kind regards,
- Jonas
