Frank> Hallo, I have a M-Audio Audiophile card (snd-ice1712) in my Frank> box, and for month I cannot get alsaplayer to work with it Frank> in ALSA-mode. I currently use $ alsaplayer --version Frank> alsaplayer 0.99.70 from the unstable Debian package. Frank> But it didn't work with any prior version. Actually I like Frank> alsaplayer, because it runs very stable without dropouts, Frank> but in my case it doesn't deserve its name. This is the Frank> error I keep getting when starting alsaplayer ("-d Frank> default", "-d hw:0" all give the same): Frank> $ alsaplayer error on set_periods (13) Unavailable hw Frank> params: ACCESS: RW_INTERLEAVED FORMAT: S16_LE SUBFORMAT: Frank> STD SAMPLE_BITS: 16 FRAME_BITS: 32 CHANNELS: 2 RATE: 44100 Frank> PERIOD_TIME: (11609 11610) PERIOD_SIZE: 512 PERIOD_BYTES: Frank> 2048 PERIODS: [1 13) BUFFER_TIME: (11609 148595) Frank> BUFFER_SIZE: [512 6553] BUFFER_BYTES: [2048 26212] Frank> TICK_TIME: 10000 error on set_periods (7) Unavailable hw Frank> params: ACCESS: RW_INTERLEAVED FORMAT: S16_LE SUBFORMAT: Frank> STD SAMPLE_BITS: 16 FRAME_BITS: 32 CHANNELS: 2 RATE: 44100 Frank> PERIOD_TIME: (23219 23220) PERIOD_SIZE: 1024 PERIOD_BYTES: Frank> 4096 PERIODS: [1 7) BUFFER_TIME: (23219 148595) Frank> BUFFER_SIZE: [1024 6553] BUFFER_BYTES: [4096 26212] Frank> TICK_TIME: 10000 failed to configure output device...trying Frank> OSS I have on the same card. I do not have the commandline here (at work) but I found that there is a switch you can use to set the periods. I use the plughw device and set the periods to 6. I will send you the complete commandline tomorrow. Immanuel -- I have always been fascinated by those who want to work.
