i recently updated my amd64 system after which i am having problems with mp3 playback with audacious. everything worked fine before the update.

installed i have media-sound/audacious-1.3.2 and media-plugins/audacious-plugins-1.3.5.

i first tested playing back a file via madplay and that worked fine; however, i do get a segfault when it completes. to test audacious, i have removed my ~/.config/audacious. when i try to play a stock mp3 file that worked with madplay, audacious posts an error dialog stating...

Code:
Couldn't open audio.

Please check that:
1. You have the correct output plugin selected.

I am having the exact same problem. Audio works fine in other players but not audacious. I get the same error message:

Code:
Couldn't open audio.

Please check that:
1. You have the correct output plugin selected.
2. No other programs is blocking the soundcard.
3. Your soundcard is configured properly.


I have Gentoo running in a vmware console on my laptop and audacious works fine. When I look at the current audio plugin in audacious preferences I see "ALSA 1.3.5 output plugin". This plugin is missing from audacious in this Gentoo build. Do you have this option available in your audacious preferences?

There has to be some package that installs this option... anyone know what it is?

i do have that option, and it is currently selected. i also have the following other plugins available: "Disk Writer Plugin 1.3.5", "JACK Output Plugin 0.17", "Null output 1.3.5", "OSS Output Plugin", and "Out-Lame 0.3".

Whoops! The alsa USE flag was missing from my make.conf! Emerged the audacious-plugins package again to get the ALSA output plugin. :D Hooray for n00b!

Sadly, that doesnt solve your problem though... everything in your USE configuration looks good to me...

I got the same:

Code:
MADPlug-Message: failed to open audio output: XMMS reverse compatibility output plugin


error right after I unmerged xmms-mad, but it is no longer available in portage.

I thought XMMS was gone, so I didn't think twice about unmerging xmms-mad.

Oops.

Looking for a workaround now....

MADPlug-Message: failed to open audio output: XMMS reverse compatibility output plugin

Generally happen at the end of a track, after having played 8 or 9 tracks.

Mine's working again, but I forget how I solved it.

Looking through my emerge.log shows this:

media-libs/libmad

and

media-plugins/gst-plugins-mad

which seem like they might have been the solution.

Sorry I wasn't playing closer attention.

When using audacious, nothing plays and I get the same error
Code:

MADPlug-Message: failed to open audio output: XMMS reverse compatibility output plugin


The error only occurs when I use ice1712 (maudio audiophile 2496) card as the motherboard nvidia intel8x0 card seems to play fine. I can still play with mpg123 using the ice1712 driver.

I reemerged libmad and gst-plugins-mad but that did not help.

Has anyone gotten this to work or do you have any ideas?

I found solution probably :D

I had this problems too:

# audacious song.mp3

Code:

MADPlug-Message: failed to open audio output: XMMS reverse compatibility output plugin
MADPlug-Message: failed to open audio output: XMMS reverse compatibility output plugin


or

# mpg123 sound.mp3

Code:

High Performance MPEG 1.0/2.0/2.5 Audio Player for Layers 1, 2 and 3
        version 1.2.0; written and copyright by Michael Hipp and others
        free software (LGPL/GPL) without any warranty but with best wishes

Playing MPEG stream 1 of 1: song.mp3 ...
[alsa.c:104] error: initialize_device(): cannot set hw params
[audio.c:506] error: failed to open audio device
[mpg123.c:468] error: failed to reset audio device: Success



hmm [alsa.c:104] it is looks interesting

so I recompiled alsa-lib with these Flags in /etc/make.conf:
Code:

ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw copy dshare dsnoop extplug file hooks ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null rate route share shm"


and now audacious and mpg123 works good :lol:
