When I try playing a dvd with ogle I get the attached output. It seems ogle is looking for some ALSA thing. Maybe ogle should depend on alsa?
Created attachment 3243 [details] output from ogle
are you, in fact, using ALSA?
Ole?
How do I determine that? (I probably am not).
Do you have alsa-driver package installed? Also, could you include output of "lsmod", please?

To see whether you have any alas packages installed, run the following command: qpkg -v -I |grep alsa In case you don't have 'qpkg', it comes as part of app-admin/gentoolkit.
# qpkg -v -I |grep alsa media-libs/alsa-lib-0.9.0_rc2 * media-sound/alsa-driver-0.9.0_rc2 *
Ole: A few suggestions: 1. Do you have alsa in your USE flags? 2. I would consider installing the rest of the alsa packages (alsa-oss and alsa-utils). Especially alsa-oss. 3. I have just commited ogle and ogle-gui 0.8.5. Could you make sure that you have 'alsa' in your USE flags, compile these new packages, and tell me whether your problem still remains? To test the new ogle packages you would need to unmask them in the /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask file.
I am getting the same problem as Ole. I have alsa in my USE variable and I have the alsa packages mentioned in the string installed.
i suggest there is nothing wrong with the ogle ebuild as i have had and still have alsa and ogle working well together. if you guys are using alsa but have something using oss or esd or arts these lock alsa such that ogle wouldn't be able to open it thus giving you the error. make sure esd or arts isn't running before trying to use ogle to access alsa directly. dave
Another idea: Having alsa packages installed does not mean that you are in fact using the alsa sound modules. The ALSA sound modules have a prefix "snd-" in the list, printed by lsmod. From the provided output, it seems to me that Ole is not in fact using ALSA, but is telling ogle to play sound via the alsa plugin. I am going to close this bug as INVALID; feel free to shout at me if I am wrong in my assumption. My advice is: if you are not using alsa, but your sound is working, remove alsa from your USE variable and recompile the sound-related packages.
