fyi:
flash-plugin has no oss support by default, ou'll need to install libflashsupport.
it doesn't seem to be in the repos, cos someone flagged it out of date.
i posted the pkgbuild~ http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=29655 @ the bottom of the page.
i didn't bother changing version or anything, just the depends (fp-beta>fp)

When trying to use that I get this far

$ makepkg

./PKGBUILD: line 18: -march=i686: command not found
==> ERROR: Build Failed.  Aborting...

Why does it do this? :S

umm, maybe if you block the args.

$CC "$CFLAGS -shared -Wall -Werror -licuuc -lssl flashsupport.c -o libflashsupport.so" || return 1

not that i can imagine.
maybe the copy of the pkgbuild got messed up, it has happened many times to me.

can you post the pkgbuild you are using. ?

Izuil · 2007-02-13 21:21:55

this one at the bottom: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=29655

I second that. Best and easiest. Heck, you can find a decent card that supports hardware mixing for like $5-$50 used depending on what you wanted.

many newer cards no longer provide hardware mixing, expensive or not....

aquila_deus · 2007-02-14 14:55:46

oss2jack + jackd can provide the best mixing. Not really easy to setup because its dependent lib 'fusd-kor' has been unmaintained for months and probably incompatible with recent kernels.

the easist is alsa's built-in dmix, no need for setup. But its quality sucks (that's said in their FAQ and mailing-lists)

oss/commercial v4 provides transparent and full-duplex software mixing. The mixing quality is okay, and you would probably get much better sound than in alsa if you're using some cheap onboard card such as via8237.

noriko · 2007-02-14 15:16:23

@aquila_deus yeh, u point out pretty much the reasons y i use oss ...
alsa's emulation of oss sux, but if i try to use anything to get round like aoss, it either doesn't work or it outputs sound with terrible lag or very poor quality ... i honestly never got a chance to try jackd cos of the fusd-kor dependency as it no longer builds with new kernels.
i gotta admit though, i do prefer alsa's mixing settings capabilities ...

okey here goes:

Hehe found a fault in that... edited but now i get this:

hmm edited CFLAGS to cflags and now it says

well there must be some formatting errors in the text or something,
it fails here as well ...

i've built it with my local pkgbuild;
they're both upload to http://inlane.org/pub/tmp/

alsa's oss emulation is fine as long as you dont use dmix. It's the driver's problem

fusd-kor only needs a few modification, so if you can write c....

It calls $CC, which is undefined in arch linux by default.

Replace it with "gcc" or set $CC environment variable to gcc.
