Question: is there a way to disable checking for
pulseaudio for each
new file when specifying multiple media files. e.g.: "gst123 *.ogg" ?
For example: do it once at application startup, or even better, a way
to prevent it from happening all-together via environment variable,
configuration, etc. Best would be some kind of environmental check so
that the timeout on socket needn't occur.The timeout significantly
slows down operation of the program even when not issuing ^C's.
Answering own question:
The search for audio devices is bypassed by setting the -a
commandline parameter to the ALSA device one wants to use. I wrapped
it in a script to use w/ emacs' dired, etc.:
#!/bin/sh
args="`/bin/ls -d $*`"
exec gst123 -a alsa=mythcd $args >/dev/null &
