[solved] mpd-cue failed to play to ESI Juli@ (hw:1,0)

Hello, everyone.

Not so long ago I've found a great mpd with external cue-sheets support.

But I can't make it to play to my favourite soundcard.
mpd.conf output section

audio_output {
        type                    "alsa"
        name                    "My ALSA Device"
        device                  "hw:1,0"     # optional
        format                  "44100:16:2" # optional
}

message from error.log

Jan 11 21:12 : ALSA device "hw:1,0" does not support 16 bit audio: Invalid argument
Jan 11 21:12 : problems opening audio device while playing "downloads/Helios - Eingya (2006) Lossless/Helios - Eingya.flac?startms=1600920&stopms=1893066"

Playing to hw:0,0 is ok.

Is there any way to fix this? Maybe there are people, who has patched new versions of mpd to support cue?

Thanks in advance.

nothing to do with your problem: but you might be interested that mpd supports external cues natively now... (in git)

Hmmm... Sounds interesting. But I tried to build it with --enable-cue option, and it doesn't see my external cuesheets. Have I missed something?

As for my problem: mpd-cue plays almost fine via oss compatibility alsa plugin. Even, I guess and hope, resampling isn't used.

it does not need any options, its a playlist plugin. In theory (theory, because i havent tried it yet) you have the cue in the same dir as your wav/flac/whatever files and then do a "mpc load relative/path/to/file.flac" (yes, flac, dunno why)

Do you mean mpc or mpd?
In one message you said about mpd, but in another — about mpc.

Rasi · 2010-01-17 17:30:23

you normally use a client to work with mpd.. so yea, the mpc bit was correct still the feature is a mpd feature

Thanks! I'll try it once more later.

Sorry for late reply, I'm ill and try to avoid using computer.
