to illustrate: # mplayer -ao alsa: [...] [AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: /tmp-ram/portage/media-libs/alsa-lib-1.1.7/work/alsa-lib-1.1.7/src/pcm/pcm_dmix.c:1099:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave [AO_ALSA] Playback open error: No such file or directory Failed to initialize audio driver 'alsa' Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound. Audio: no sound alsa-lib-1.1.7 changed /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf to read /etc/alsa/conf.d/ instead of /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d. alsa-utils-1.1.7 still puts file "51-pulseaudio-probe.conf" there without making a symlink to it in /etc/alsa/conf.d/. after "ln -s /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/51-pulseaudio-probe.conf /etc/alsa/conf.d/51-pulseaudio-probe.conf": # mplayer -ao alsa audio.mp3 AO: [alsa] 44100Hz 2ch s16le (2 bytes per sample) Video: no video Starting playback... A: 0.6 (00.6) of 193.0 (03:13.0) 0.3% 26% This also affects some games on Steam which use alsa instead of pa. Is this still an issue with =media-plugins/alsa-plugins-1.1.8? (In reply to Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) from comment #2) > Is this still an issue with =media-plugins/alsa-plugins-1.1.8? Yes. Initially, /etc/alsa/ is empty. After installing alsa-plugins-1.1.8 (with USE="pulseaudio" only), the following 2 files are created: 50-pulseaudio.conf -> /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/50-pulseaudio.conf 99-pulseaudio-default.conf.example Native alsa apps still don't work (example mplayer): [AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: /tmp-ram/portage/media-libs/alsa-lib-1.1.8/work/alsa-lib-1.1.8/src/pcm/pcm_dmix.c:1108:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave [AO_ALSA] Playback open error: No such file or directory Failed to initialize audio driver 'alsa' Doing a "ln -s /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/51-pulseaudio-probe.conf" in /etc/alsa/ solves all that. *** Bug 681628 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 684198 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 682232 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** The bug has been closed via the following commit(s): https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=852053b504a01ac36620344245bc9e460f9a8618 commit 852053b504a01ac36620344245bc9e460f9a8618 Author: Pacho Ramos <pacho@gentoo.org> AuthorDate: 2019-06-30 11:01:59 +0000 Commit: Pacho Ramos <pacho@gentoo.org> CommitDate: 2019-06-30 11:22:49 +0000 media-plugins/alsa-plugins: Symlink is needed for loading pulse config file Closes: https://bugs.gentoo.org/670960 Package-Manager: Portage-2.3.67, Repoman-2.3.14 Signed-off-by: Pacho Ramos <pacho@gentoo.org> .../alsa-plugins/alsa-plugins-1.1.9-r1.ebuild | 103 +++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 103 insertions(+) Please also check the bug the above commit introduces: https://bugs.gentoo.org/689184 (or is it a problem with portage?) Am I going crazy? Commit 852053b504a01ac36620344245bc9e460f9a8618 appears to exist, but doesn't seem to be in the master tree (nor anywhere else for that matter) The latest commit I can see in media-libs/alsa-lib is from May 14. Checked on my updated local mirror, gitweb.gentoo.org and the Github mirror. (In reply to haarp from comment #9) Yes, I was crazy ;) I was looking at alsa-lib, not alsa-plugins... The fix works for me. Thanks, Pacho. |
