media-sound/lastfmplayer-1.1.3 not detecting soundcard. I have configured alsa soundcard hda-intel. Audacious, Psi, MPlayer, GNOME playing sounds very well, but when I push button "Play" in LastFMplayer it shows error "No soundcard detected". Also as in bug #149618 there is no any soundcard in "Tools->Options->Radio-Soundcard" and one system "alsa". I tried this application with alsa-driver and alsa kernel modules, result be the same.

I've got the same problem guys, and found that some people on the Last.FM forum are using OSS. Here's why I love Gentoo: ebuild /path/to/media-sound/lastfmplayer/lastfmplayer-1.1.3.ebuild fetch ebuild /path/to/media-sound/lastfmplayer/lastfmplayer-1.1.3.ebuild unpack Now move to: /var/tmp/portage/lastfmplayer-1.1.3/work/last.fm-1.1.3/src/rtaudioplayback And edit the file rtaudioplayback.cpp, at line 206: #ifdef Q_WS_X11 //api = RtAudio::LINUX_ALSA; api = RtAudio::LINUX_OSS; #endif Then: ebuild /path/to/media-sound/lastfmplayer/lastfmplayer-1.1.3.ebuild compile ebuild /path/to/media-sound/lastfmplayer/lastfmplayer-1.1.3.ebuild qmerge I'm listening to the Last.fm player right now. :)
Oops, don't forgot the "install" step: ebuild /path/to/media-sound/lastfmplayer/lastfmplayer-1.1.3.ebuild compile + ebuild /path/to/media-sound/lastfmplayer/lastfmplayer-1.1.3.ebuild install ebuild /path/to/media-sound/lastfmplayer/lastfmplayer-1.1.3.ebuild qmerge
Created attachment 112874 [details, diff] lastfmplayer-1.1.3-OSS.patch Patch to modify the source as Bill mentioned.
Created attachment 112875 [details] lastfmplayer-1.1.3-r1.ebuild updated ebuild to apply the OSS patch. Works, but wasn't much help for me as I wasn't able to start lastfm and have it work, unless I shut down all other sound-card-using programs first. It would be nice if it worked with ALSA.

Agreed, this is the sentiment on the Last.fm forum as well. A couple more points: 1. When you close the lastfm player (after it was compiled to use OSS), make sure to also kill the tray icon that it creates. You may find that it seems to still have some sort of lock on the audio device. I did: wskellenger@gladstone ~ $ ps -ae | grep last 6359 ? 00:00:00 last.fm 6361 ? 00:03:04 last.fm.app And had to kill these processes manually, then I got control of the card back. 2. Back to the ALSA issue: lastfm does a little bit of logging in /opt/lastfm, but you'll either have to change permissions for that directory or run lastfm from the console as root to see what's going on. Check the playback.log file and see what kind of error message you get when compiled with ALSA support. This is what I'm getting: 070308 01:05:02 - 3072001712 - L1 Initialising RtAudio failed. RtAudio error type: 7 Message: RtApi: unable to open specified device(s) with given stream parameters: RtApiAlsa: error setting sample rate (44100) on device (hw:AudioPCI,0): Invalid argument.
Hmm, that's weird. A lot of apps should not work or play correctly if your sound card doesn't support 44.1 KHz: Audios CD's and generally a lot of music files are 44.1 KHz. If that's the case, you should probably look into using the samplerate converter in alsa-plugins (USE=libsamplerate).
maybe can be useful to solve alsa issues... i'm going to bed now, it's quite late here... somebody want make the first try? (take care, the alsa diff patch it's very invasive...) night http://mehercule.net/staticpages/index.php/lastfm
Here goes, I got the patch to apply and it is compiling right now. Just in case anyone else was starting on this...
Patch applied and works great. I tested it and ran it at the same time as amarok. Definitely using alsa and dmix. I would disagree that this patch is invasive. It only changes a few lines of code and adds the alsa stuff in a directory. Thanks fabio. Here's the description of the alsa patch from mehercule.net: "Linux only: Use a new alsaaudio plugin based on xmms. It supports ALSA's default device, plays nicely with dmix, does format, rate, and channel conversion, is easier to debug, and probably fixes the following bugs: #354405, #366977, #373239, #388064. It also makes a great espresso." (those are debian bugs by the way). The original patch failed because it assumed a translation patch had been applied first. Too bad these patches aren't in upstream. Also too bad that there are so many patches. It's a bitch to maintain them. Better to use branches in svn. If people really want a lot of these patches in lastfm, then maybe I'll maintain a branch and track the vendor sources and then provide a master patch.

Created attachment 113754 [details, diff] 13_alsa-r1.diff Sorry for the bad name. I wanted to stay true to the original name so it's clear which patch it is but I added the -r1 to show that it was modified a bit.

Looking the patch now i'm awake i agree with you about it's invasiveness. Really "I LOVE THIS GAME!". > Too bad these patches aren't in upstream. Also too bad that there are so many > patches.
