No sound from Xine / GogglesMM

I'm checking out audio players (Amarok v1 remains a favorite, but time to move on I guess) and I can't seem to get Xine and, by extension, Goggles MM, to play audio. Flash works fine, as does MPD / Sonata. If I run goggles with the --xine-debug, I get this worrisome output:

audio_alsa_out : supported modes are 8bit 16bit 24bit 32bit mono stereo (4-channel not enabled in xine config) (4.1-channel not enabled in xine config) (5-channel not enabled in xine config) (5.1-channel not enabled in xine config) (a/52 and DTS pass-through not enabled in xine config)

I have an ALC888 sound card and I wonder if the bit about 4.1 channel not enabled is the problem, as I do, in fact, have 4.1 channel.

I have an ALC888 sound card and I wonder if the bit about 4.1 channel not enabled is the problem, as I do, in fact, have 4.1 channel.

I think your audio hardware is fine. Have you tried playing any other file format (mp3,ogg) just to be sure?
Xine has two flac decoders and the default one is known to be buggy. You can use the other one by either:

1) delete ffmpeg decoder plugin

rm /usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.27/xineplug_decode_ff.so

2) Change the decoder priority

vim ~/.xine/catalog.cache

Look for the section "[/usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.27/xineplug_flac.so]" that has the "decoder_priority" setting. (there are actually two such sections; the other one has "demuxer_priority").

Then change the value to 8:

'decoder_priority=5' => 'decoder_priority=8'

After this you shouldn't see any [flac @ 0x18d4ac0] output on the console when playing flac files.

Re: No sound from Xine / GogglesMM

Yeah, it doesn't play MP3s either, so I don't think it is a problem with just FLAC.
