Bug 58672 – ARTSD gives error when accessing ALSA lib

• Status: RESOLVED CANTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description shamanic 2004-07-28 10:02:46 UTC]

Im trying to run skype. I can record from my microphone an listen it with arecord/aplay commands.

With skype my friends cant hear me, i can hear them. except the first call i made then he heard me. Something is broken i believe, isit artsd or something alsa.

I guess a workaround is using artsd -a oss.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. bash-2.05$ artsd -a alsa
2.
3.

Actual Results:  

ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:549:(snd_pcm_hw_start) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_START failed: Broken pipe
ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:549:(snd_pcm_hw_start) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_START failed: Broken pipe


Expected Results:  
alsa -a oss dosent give any messages, so i guess this wasnt working properly.


My system is compiled using this.
CFLAGS="-O3 -mcpu=i686" -funroll-loops -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
I tried to compile artsd & alsa-lib with the following:

Dosent help using artsd -a oss.
I can it seems the the problem is when i use fluxbox as desktop.
When i tried KDE as desktop it worked fine.

artsd -a oss didnt help for me.

No errors from artsd when i tried KDE as dekstop.
 Normaly i use Fluxbox.

Try to recompile arts

[Comment 4 shamanic 2004-07-29 13:05:26 UTC]

I have recompiled arts and alsa-lib on two different computers. Same problem with both computers.

I compiled also with this:  USE="-mad -oggvorbis -esd" emerge arts,
and alsa and artswrappersuid set.

Im not sure if it's bug, but the output dosent tell me much and i didnt find help with google.

Your soundcard has full duplex support? This is a precondition to hear and speak at the same time.
