I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but I was unable to find it with the search function; Mostly because I don't know exactly what my search terms should be.
Anyway . . .
I've been using slackware for a while. My old installation got all messed up because I let my kernel get too old, then upgraded glibc, causing a fatal error. I've done a clean format and install of Slackware 12.1. I've got everything setup, including X. And even upgraded firefox to 3.0. I've run into one big problem though. If I try to use xine, gxine, amarok, aplay, etc. . . anything that uses audio or video, as any user other than root, the application will either hang, or spit out a bunch of errors to the command line.
This:
Code:
ALSA lib confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card '0'
ALSA lib conf.c:3510:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver returned error: No such device
ALSA lib confmisc.c:392:(snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings
ALSA lib conf.c:3510:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_concat returned error: No such device
ALSA lib confmisc.c:1251:(snd_func_refer) error evaluating name
ALSA lib conf.c:3510:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such device
ALSA lib conf.c:3982:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such device
ALSA lib pcm.c:2145:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default
aplay: main:546: audio open error: No such device
is what I get when I try to use aplay on an mp3 as a non-root user.
I've tried changing the permissions on /dev/audio and /dev/dsp to add read access to all users, but that hasn't changed a thing.
Any ideas? I'm sure it's something simple I'm overlooking, but I'm stumped.
EDIT: This just in . . . Apparantly this only happens on KDE. I run xine on xfce and it works fine. I'm thinking it's something with KDE trying to take control of something it's not, but I'm not sure.
Thanks in advance guys.
