alsa dmix in ubuntu
Not sure where else I would put this, so I'll put it here. I recently installed Ubuntu 5.04 (which I believe is the newest) and I'm having trouble getting dmix to work properly. I have searched for a few days now and have tried everything I've found which the results range from causing both alsa and esd to segfault, to my current state where dmix works with alsaplayer from a terminal, but it does not seem to work with applications.
My current .asoundrc is as follows Code:
# ~/.asoundrc Code:
alsaplayer -o alsa some.mp3 & Like I said, I have searched for solutions for a few days now and have tried everything I could find that detailed the solution. If anyone has any ideas or needs more details, please let me know. Thank you in advance. [EDIT]: I forgot to mention that I do kill esd before trying anything to keep it from interfering, and if anyone can tell me how to prevent esd from starting up automatically, that would be great as well. |
i'm really not at all sure but try this instead (back up the one you are using !)
Code:
# dmix plugin configuration - playback mixer |
Well, I don't know if that was the problem or just that I didn't check everything I should have. It seems to work now, I had to changed the command gaim was using to play sounds. Apparently it liked "aplay -D plug:dmix %s" enough to work, but not with other sounds playing, but without -D plug:dmix it works fine with xmms playing. So I suppose that's good enough until I find something else that doesn't work. Thanks for the help.
