Hi all,
I'm having a problem trying to use esd with alsa and an ens1371 card.
setup on boxes A and B:
alsa-driver-0.9.5_r2
alsa-lib-0.9.4
esound-0.2.29
linux-2.4.21-rc4-aa1
On box A, I'm using a cmipci driver, box B, an ens1371.
modules.conf has identical (except for driver id) content on both boxen.
Everything alsa works on both boxen, playback and capture.
Esound playback works on both boxen.
The Problem:
Esound esdrec works on box A, but not box B.
On box B, esdrec times out and exits (yes, esd is running). It appears as
though it looks to a port for capture data, sees none, then bails. Esound
documentation is famously anemic, googling got me this far...
Weird bit to me is that non-esound alsa capture is working fine on box B,
it's just that esdrec doesn't seem to be addressing the right port.
Anyone have any ideas?
Like how does esdrec know which port to see, or how do I tell it to look
in the "right place" for a capture stream...or how to set the "default
port" so esdrec "just finds it" like on box A...
Many thanks!!
Hello all,
I have a session comeing up this weekend where I'll need three
set of headphones monitoring the mix. This is a problem, since I have a
Delta44, and am limited to four channels of output. I also have an
SBLive I use for MIDI, and I'm trying to make a virtual device to take
advantage of that output as well.
I started with the asoundrc in the wiki for this in the wiki, at
http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=TwoCardsAsOne but if I try to
aplay to it:
ross@turalyon:~$ aplay -D multi synth.wav
Playing WAVE 'synth.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
aplay: set_params:783: Broken configuration for this PCM: no configurations available
I pretty much snipped the config directly, and added lines for my
additional channels. I also tried making a copy device, but this plays
for a second (out of the Live) and then quits with an I/O error:
ross@turalyon:~$ aplay -D copy synth.wav
Playing WAVE 'synth.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
aplay: pcm_write:1025: write error: Input/output error
Here's my ~/.asoundrc:
pcm.multi {
type multi;
slaves.a.pcm "hw:0,0";
slaves.a.channels 4;
slaves.b.pcm "hw:1,0";
slaves.b.channels 2;
bindings.0.slave a;
bindings.0.channel 0;
bindings.1.slave a;
bindings.1.channel 1;
bindings.2.slave a;
bindings.2.channel 2;
bindings.3.slave a;
bindings.3.channel 3;
bindings.4.slave b;
bindings.4.channel 0;
bindings.5.slave b;
bindings.5.channel 1;
}
ctl.multi {
type hw;
card 0;
}
pcm.ttable {
type route;
slave.pcm "multi";
ttable.0.0 1;
ttable.1.1 1;
ttable.2.2 1;
ttable.3.3 1;
ttable.4.4 1;
ttable.5.5 1;
}
ctl.ttable {
type hw;
card 0;
}
pcm.copy {
type copy;
slave.pcm "hw:0,0"
slave.pcm "hw:1,0"
}
Thanks for any tips!

Hi guys!
In the last days had some nice experience with terminatorX. I think it works
well, but I don't know if the scratching is working correct.
I started scratching and noticed, that the soundfile is played only forwards
whatever direction the mouse is moved. When I set the "mouse speed" to a
negative value soundfiles are always played backwards when scratching
(holding the left mousebutton or pressing the "space"-key).
Is it possible to play the soundfile in two directions?
For example:
mouse moving upwards while scratching -> playing forward
mouse moving downwards while scratching -> playing backward
Like a real turntable :)
Thanks for any suggestions!
Friendly regards,

Okay Patrick... more headaches for you maybe?
I finally bought a Quattro. All seems fine except I can't read/write to it.
I assume it has something to do with this 'initialization' problem Takashi has
mentioned, but I'm not sure. I'm really hoping to get this working soon so I
can include it in the next Mandrake Audio HowTo blah blah.
I used Patrick's .asoundrc, and the module loads fine. Everything that one
expects shows up in /proc/asound.
[root@gamma373-165 austin]# ls /proc/asound
card0/ cards devices modules oss/ pcm Quattro@ seq/ timers version
But I can't seem to use it:
[root@gamma373-165 austin]# alsaplayer
ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1055:(snd_pcm_hw_open) open /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p failed: No
such device
snd_pcm_open: No such device (default)
qinit seems to segfault:
[root@gamma373-165 austin]# ./qinit
Initialising quattro
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Then nothing works:
[root@gamma373-165 austin]# alsaplayer -d Quattro
ALSA lib pcm.c:1908:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM Quattro
snd_pcm_open: No such file or directory (Quattro)
[root@gamma373-165 austin]# alsaplayer -d q4
ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1055:(snd_pcm_hw_open) open /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p failed: No
such device
snd_pcm_open: No such device (q4)
[root@gamma373-165 austin]# aplay -D Quattro apathetic.wav
ALSA lib pcm.c:1908:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM Quattro
aplay: main:484: audio open error: No such file or directory
BTW, this is Mandrake Cooker (gcc 3.3.1, alsa 0.9.6, glibc 2.3.2, linux
2.4.21.6mdk). Any help at all is appreciated.
Thanks,
Austin

Several people have asked me what denormal numbers are over the last few
weeks, well heres a much better description than my rambling head

Hello,
I tried to connect MAudio USB audio interface Sonica on my Compaq Laptop with
vector Linux. the light on Sonica is tunred ON meaning that it used
electricty from USB port, but I cannot hear any sound. DO you know how to
set up Sonica to work under Linux?
Thanks,
Vedran Vucic
Dear colleagues,
As far as I see Sonica does have two important chips only. AKM AK4353VF and
Texas Instruments TAS 1020A. Maybe this can help in creating firmware
downloader for Sonica.
Maybe TI can offer specification.
All the best,
Vedran Vucic
