Re: [LAU] mplayer no go with snd-hdsp

But, I can't use mplayer. Am I the only one? Anyone else tried mplayer on the Multiface?

For cli tools mplayer gives me the ability to pause, or move backwards and forwards through the audio file. This is important to me because I learn music these days by ear. I know one can do this in the gui, but as a blind user the Linux gui audio apps aren't particularly friendly in my experience. Besides, it's so terribly simple, if rather imprecise, to use spacebar, left-arrow, and right-arrow. The error I get: Opening audio decoder: [pcm] Uncompressed PCM audio decoder AUDIO: 48000 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 1536.0 kbit/100.00% (ratio: 192000->192000) Selected audio codec: [pcm] afm: pcm (Uncompressed PCM) ========================================================================== [AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: pcm_hw.c:327:(snd_pcm_hw_hw_params) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_HW_PARAMS failed (-16): Device or resource busy [AO_ALSA] Unable to set hw-parameters: Device or resource busy Failed to initialize audio driver 'alsa:device=plughw=8.0' Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound. Audio: no sound Video: no video Exiting... (End of file) Meanwhile, aplay and ecaplay have no problems. So, I thought I should ask if anyone else has experienced this before reporting to mplayer devs. TIA Janina
