Description Robert Kaplow 2005-03-20 11:22:39 UTC

Upgraded the alsa-lib package from 1.0.7 to 1.0.8

Various sound apps that I tested work fine (mpg123, mplayer)
For mpd:
The daemon started and stopped fine. WHen I entered a command through mpc (ex. mpc play) it worked fine. While music was playing, mpd was unaccessable, i.e. mpc listall, mpc play, a client for viewing the current song (torsmo) all failed to work.
Error for mpc play (for example):
problems getting a response from "localhost" on port 6600

A downgrade to alsa-lib-1.0.7 fixed the error

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install alsa-lib-1.0.8
2./etc/init.d/mpd start
3.mpc play
4.mpc

Actual Results:  
problems getting a response from "localhost" on port 6600

Expected Results:  
Given the name/information on current plaing track

Comment 1 Robert Kaplow 2005-04-04 16:47:28 UTC

I think this is the problem
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-313030-postdays-0-postorder-asc-highlight-alsalib+emu10k1-start-0.html

I should have mentioned I am using a emu10k1 card. Downgrading to alsa-lib 1.0.7 works

the problem is already known, upgrading to 1.0.9_rcX works as well.
