OSSv42-2004 released, fixes SBo compile error in -current
Encountered error when building OSSv42-2003 (SBo) in -current, upgrading to OSSv42-2004 fixed the problem.
OSSv42-2004 was released 2 days ago: announcement download page SBo page If you use slackware for audio entertainment or work, OSS is the preferred choice for sound quality. It works with jack and wine. |
Many thanks for info.

Found another problem (and solution), so I'm going to document it here.
Using custom -current kernel 2.6.35.7 with pre-empt, installed gsb-current, then switched from alsa to ossv42-2004 without problems. Installed jackd, qjackctl, jamin and other jack-aware apps (ie gsb totem via gstreamer, mplayer, smplayer etc), no xruns but with stutter and mild pops during playback when routed via jamin to any of the apps above. Solution: Source Quote:

if using gsb, use gconf-editor to configure gstreamer routing to jack Quote:

It's been years since I last used OSS, I'm happy I decided to try after I saw your post. As you say, highs and mids are a lot clearer, but I love the lower latency vs ALSA most. Thanks linux64.

when starting/testing playback, turn volume to 0 and increase slowly to protect the ears/speakers.

hey guys
this is great, I have not used OSS except awhile back when using Tinycore It is much better than ALSA, but check this out, I have a nVidia 4000mx and it's using a AC'97 this is what I get Code:
[root@nfluxos guest]# ossdetect -v Code:
[root@nfluxos guest]# ossinfo How do I add,etc a MIDI, as it says "Number of MIDI devices: 0"?? Thanks EDIT: Oh, I heard ALSA is better if using a AC97, is that true? OSS just sounds so much better! |
Can't help much with midi as I've not used any, but my ossinfo output looks similar to yours.

If you customize foobar2k using components, some additional software maybe required (wmp10, vcrun6 etc), can be installed using winetricks. A brief tutorial on components & required software here. Displaying CJK or non-english fonts can be added using winetricks, then set them for use in foobar2k: Library -> Display -> Default UI -> Color and Fonts. Notes on mp3 in wine: requires some other deps before building wine. sh configure in wine source directory will show the deps required (mp3-something, libsane, isdn etc). By the way, oss and jack must be built and configured to work before building wine. MP3 in 64-bit slackware works too but must satisfy the dependency mentioned above. Get access to a 32-bit machine and copy the dep packages to 64-bit OS, then use alien's convert utility. May require more config if wine doesn't find it. foobar2000 lovely configs: weblog screenshots component requirements are listed on the weblog, MS Scripting Control could be problematic under wine. |

http://www.opensound.com/wiki/index....i_applications My TiMidity SlackBuild sets it up in server mode. I don't know if it can be made to work under OSS though. http://www.vcn.bc.ca/~dugan/timidity/ |
To enable MIDI support, edit the configure script file itself and include as described below.

in OSSv42, MIDI is enabled by default. Been looking for ways to enable equalizer support in Totem (Movie Player) or a system-wide equalizer for OSSv42. Anyone know how? |
Upgrade OSSv4 resampler for higher quality audio
Warning: Protect your ears/speakers before testing. Slowly increase volume from 0.

Note that level 6 (production quality with extra precision) is not for use, as it causes crash. The UI (ossxmix) also cannot configure it post-install as it is not implemented (see blue line above). However, it can be configured via ossmix (see below). Quote:
