Hi, I did the xawdecode update to 1.90 last night and reemgered the ebuild since then. Every time, I try to start xawdecode I get this error: xawdecode: simple.c:1780: snd_mixer_selem_get_capture_switch: Assertion `elem' failed. Abgebrochen Mixer gets unmuted, but nothing else. I am able to start xawdecode with the xawdecode_wizard and choose xawdecode without alsa. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge xawdecode 2. log into KDE 3. kill artsd&try to start xawdecode Actual Results: I get the error mentioned above, no TV-picture. Expected Results: It should show me a nice TV-window Here is my emerge info output: emerge info Portage 2.0.50-r1 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.3.3, glibc-2.3.3_pre20040207-r0, 2.6.3) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.3 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2000+ Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.13 ccache version 2.3 [enabled] Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r3 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -mmmx -m3dnow -msse -mfpmath=sse -ftracer -fomit-frame-pointer -Wdisabled-optimization -fprefetch-loop-arrays -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -mmmx -m3dnow -msse -mfpmath=sse -ftracer -fomit-frame-pointer -Wdisabled-optimization -fprefetch-loop-arrays -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache notitles sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/gentoo http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow 3ds S3TC X aalib acpi acpi4linux alsa autofs avi berkdb cdr crypt dga dnd dvd editor encode faad ffmpeg flac gdbm gif gtk gtk2 imagemagick imlib jack jack-caps jack-tmpfs java javascript joystick jpeg kde lesstif libg++ libwww mad maildir mikmod mmx mng motif mpeg mule music mysql ncurses nls nocd nvidia oggvorbis openal opengl pam pdflib perl physfs pic png python qt quicktime readline scanner sdl server slang snmp spell sse ssl stencil-buffer svga tcltk tcpd tetex tiff transcode truetype type1 usb v4l videos wmf x86 xemacs xine xml2 xmms xosd xv xvid zlib zvbi" Xfree is 4.3-r5 alsa-lib is 1.0.2 alsa-drivers are in-kernel driver. Prior versions of xawdecode worked fine!
What is the value of "mixer = ..." in "~/.xawdecode/xawdecoderc"? Is it a valid mixer channel ("line" is default and should be fine in most cases)?
Hi, mixer is aux. I removed it, and now xawdecode is working again, but TV sound is on aux for more than a year and it worked with xawdeode 1.8.x. Additionally, without mixer= aux the volume-slider does not have any effects anymore.
The native alsa mixer, based on alsa-lib, is more less new, which explains some small behavior changes. In your case, the channel name you should use is probably "Aux" instead of "aux". Only "line" is case-insensitive, for backward compatibility with old default config, and works despite the real alsa channel name is "Line". But for others, there is no such hack, so they must follow exactly the alsa namings.
Hi, mixer = Aux is working, thank you!
