Hi folks,
Im an audio newbies running gentoo-1.4
Im using the alsa drivers for my SBLive5.1 card and when I run
gstreamer-properties (version gstreamer-0.6.1-r1) the only setting that
will produce sound output is OSS ..its kind of irritating to know that
all of my gnome apps that use gstreamer are feeding the sound to OSS
instead of alsa or jack both of which are in the menulist of options for
gstreamer-properties.
So basically I was wondering if I am suppost to do something special to
make gstreamer work with AlSA or JACK.. obviousely there must be some
sort of gotcha somewhere that Im not aware of.
Thanks. Any {help|info|guidance} would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
My CD will not pass the audio of CDs to the onboard sound. If I use
XMMS and the libcdaudio plugin, the disc is seen and played but no sound
comes through (Geforce nForce audio which is run with Intel ICH kernel
configuration).
CDtool also is unable to play audio CDs, with the error
cdplay: ioctl cdrommsf
even as root, so not a permissions problem. cdir and cdeject work.
It works just fine using SCSI emulation, I can mound data CDs, write
CD-Rs, rip audio CDs.
My onboard sound works otherwise, successfully playing from the hard disk.
I have had the CD drive replaced already for another reason, but the
problem remains. There is no play button on the fascia of the drive, or
headphone socket.
Has anyone got any suggestions for my quandry?
I'm using Debian 3.0r0, Linux kernel 2.4.18
TIA, Tim

Hi,
I have some Acid loops that I want to change the tempo and pitch on
fairly radically. Acid does this itself, but only does a good job over
fairly small ranges.
Is there any non-realtime Linux app that can take a Acid wave file and
change it's length and pitch, write its output to a new wave file, and do a
high quality job of it?
Thanks in advance,
Mark

1. How does a linux system normally access an SPDIF connection? Would
this be through /dev/dsp1? Or is it normally passed to the default
sound processor (/dev/dsp)?
2. I fear my SPDIF connection won't allow _INPUT_ of signals? I'd like
to use the optical connection to attach a friends minidisc, to record
his mixing onto my harddrive.
I have a card connected the three motherboard SPDIF pins, with two
external outlets-SPDIF and optical. My motherboard manual says 'these
connectors supply an SPDIF audio cable that outputs digital audio'. The
diagram indicates the three connectors are +5V, SPDIFOUT, and GND.
Doesn't look good does it? Is this one of the reasons people end up
buying sound cards with oodles of connections?
For the record, the motherboard is an ASUS A7N266-VM, AMD Athlon 2200XP,
I'm running Debian 3.0r0/Linux 2.4.18.
TIA, Tim

Hi,
I am looking for an external sound capturing device for my laptop.
All I need is one stereo recording interface, which my laptop does not
provide.
On searching the archive, I have shortlisted a few options:
1. MAudio MobilePre - 149$
2. MAudio Audiophile - 199$
3. Edirol UA20 - 169$
4. Edirol UA3D - 169$
The microphones I intend to use does require preamp. I guess its better to
provide preamp with external battery pack rather than the bus powered boxes
to minimise self noise. Please help me choose the best!
Thanks a lot for your time.
Rajdeep

Did anybody ever get a game such as QIII arena to work with an ice1712?
linux games seem to work with ALSA only by using the OSS emulation,
and they seem to want to access the card via mmap.
i wonder if i could get it to work with my delta66 via a clever
.asoundrc setup???

this should be a no-brainer for somebody here!
how can i get the libcdaudio plugin for XMMS to load an audio CD? when i
go to directory /cdrom in the player's file browser, i see subdirectory
cdrom0, but i can't get it to open the audio CD to play. a program like
workman recognizes the CD fine. only problem there is that i scrapped
the OSS drivers for the Alsa ones, so i get no sound! has anybody else
had this problem?

1. A short summary of changes
User-friendliness of 'jack_auto' and 'resample' audio
objects has been improved. Compile-time support added for
both JACK -0.50 and 0.60-. Python-only implementation of ECI
is now selected by default. Work-around included for a bug in
ALSA -0.9.1 that broke xrun handling for record and playback.
Lots of small bugs have been fixed in the build process.
The SIGFPE bug that occured on FreeBSD systems is now
fixed, as is the non-aligned access problem on Alphas.

Hi all,
I've just acquired the above card (using ice1712 chip) and I'm trying
to get the coaxial digital out working.
I have envy24control running and I'm playing an MP3 file. "HW Out 1"
and "HW Out 2" are sourced from "Digital Mix 1" and "Digital Mix 2"
and I can hear them on the headphone out. I have also routed "Digital
Mix 1" and "Digital Mix2" to "S/PDIF Out L" and "S/PDIF Out R" but I
don't seem to be getting any S/PDIF output signal.
Anybdy have any light to shed?
Thanks,
Erik
