|
|
Hi everyone,
For a while I was using esddsp to pipe all the sound from my browsers to esound (opera, seamonkey, konqueror, etc...) but it seems that it just doesn't work anymore. Whenever I try something like "esddsp opera" it just hangs when trying to play sound (with flash video's for example), and I'm sure esd is working properly since gstreamer and mplayer are playing correctly.
Anyone has any idea why it's failing?
I've also tried the --mmap and --mixer arguments but it doesn't really help.
Kernel: 2.6.17-gentoo-r5
Esound version: 0.2.36-r2
Thanks in advance _________________ Have you ever noticed how stable windows is?

Hi !
Are the sound not working for all media (Flash, MPlayerplug-in, etc.)?
If this is a flash issue, what are you using as a flash player? I use the one Firefox installs automatically and the sound works fine without any trick (I have alsa-utils and esound installed).
I searched on the forum and found the following command:
You can give it a try for your browsers.... |

Oh, I see !
Did you export the server information?
Code: |
export ESPEAKER="servername:16001"
|
Do the esound works with other applications as XMMS? |

Yes, I've exported the server information, that's where mplayer is getting it's data from.
xmms, mplayer, xine and gstreamer play without a problem.
However, doing something like this: "esddsp mplayer -ao oss" just doesn't work while "mplayer -ao esd" works without a problem. _________________ Have you ever noticed how stable windows is?

Okay, I understand better the problem now... I'll take a deeper look at that... Esound was updated or the problem appeared by itself? |

I'm not really sure when it happened actually, the problem has been there for a couple of months now but I don't play too much sound from my browser so I wouldn't notice it soon anyway. I'm guessing that it stopped working around the time eselect-esd was introduced. _________________ Have you ever noticed how stable windows is?

Okay, I didn't know about eselect-esd... I'm afraid I have no more ideas |

* Bump *
I now experience this problem... I also now use ESOUND to stream my audio to a server, but I got an audioplayer that doesn't let me choose esd as an output... |

In the mean time I've also tried the nxesd package but still, no luck. It does the same as the normal esddsp package, nothing.
I'm gonna try and run it again with strace, perhaps that'll tell me something about what happends. _________________ Have you ever noticed how stable windows is?
