Never experimented with Jack though.
Better or worse than Alsa? or do they complement eachother?
You may want to recompile mythtv with JACK or ARTS support, and try running through that instead.
]]>XMMS set to Alsa and SoundDevice to "Default"
Mythfrontend set to: Alsa:default
Start playing a song in xmms and then watch a recording/livetv in mythfrontend works.
Reverse the order, and xmms complains: "Could not open sounddevice".
:?
]]>My /etc/asound.conf
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer"
}
pcm.dsp0 {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer"
}
pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
slave {
pcm "hw:0,0"
period_time 0
period_size 1024
buffer_size 8192
rate 48000
}
bindings {
0 0
1 1
}
}
ctl.dmixer {
type hw
card 0
}
And I have multiple sound (eg. Amarok + Gaim + Email),
but Mythfrontend + Gaim doesn't work (no errors, just no sound from Gaim)
Other ideas?
]]>Also, the speed difference is huge compared to the one in the normal repositry.
Only problem left is that Gaim is muted when i watch tv or recorded stuff. (Before the sounds from Gaim queued up, and when I closed mythfronted they all played at once)
Oh, and mythfrontend wont let me use /dev/mixer or /dev/sound/mixer when I'm using ALSA:default. Perhaps thats part of the problem.
And the crashing stopped. No more crashing when switching from LiveTV to recorded stuff or watching a few recorded shows in a row. wonderful.
]]>I've got PKGBUILD's for the CVS version if you want to build the freshest packages possible. Just PM me or something.
]]>Mythtv also segfaults/crashes like windows 9x...
I see...
Well, I have MythTV itself on a different computer and just use mythfrontend to view the recordings.
And it's annoying not to hear when people want something on Gaim etc. (Since it locks upp the soundcard)
Mythtv also segfaults/crashes like windows 9x... and I'm not entirely sure why.
]]>I've tried several different methods to enable alsa in mythfrontend and it just gives me an error every time.
(eg: ALSA:default, ALSA:mixed-analog, default, mixed-analog)
"Not possible to create sounddevice" (roughly translated)
My .asoundrc is this one: http://www.mythtv.info/moin.cgi/DigitalSoundHowTo
