* wav compression lib @ Igor Gueths ` Cheryl Homiak 0 siblings, 1 reply; 8+ messages in thread From: Igor Gueths @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup Hi all. I can play mp3s fine with trplayer, but I can't play compressed wav files without renaming them to mp3. Is there some kind of compression library that trplayer uses to play these files that I don't know about? Or does trplayer output to anything other than the pcm mixer channel? I don't see any debug level in trplayer, so I can't really tell. Thanks in advance for any help on this! ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

Have you tried playing wav through sox with the "play' command to make sure the issue is actually trplayer? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

I don't have play, but I have aplay. I get all sorts of errors when trying to run it, as well as arecord. I get errors in pcm_hw.c, stating that the ioctl is inapropriate. It says something like: alsa lib pcm_hw.c: aplay main: 445: audio open error. Inapropriate ioctl for device. Freeamp works fine however, so I think the issue is just related to those two programs and possibly the way they interface with the alsa library. However, I can play mp3s fine with trplayer, as well as realmedia files. So I think the problem could be related to trplayer, but I'm not sure at this point. Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this.

I have pcm set to about 95 percent unmuted. I also have master digital set to 95 percent unmuted. I have snd-card-cs4236 loaded, snd-pcm-oss, and snd-mixer-oss. What actually happens with trplayer is that when I play a compressed wav, the timer is going, but there is no audio output. I confirm this by hitting e to end playback, and it stops at something like 16 seconds because I wait for a while. This says that it is trying to play the file, but where is it sending audio output? I can't tell! But if I rename the file to mp3, I can play it both in freeamp and trplayer. Note: The reason why the module is snd-card-cs4236 is because I am using alsa 0.9.0beta9 for the time being. Also, any ideas as to why I get those errors in pcm_hw.c when I go to play something with aplay? Thanks!

Do you have a /etc/modutils/alsa set up if you are using debian, or did you modify your modules.conf if you have another distro? I would think loadking modules by hand might be a bit tricky, as I notice that snd-pcm-oss is actually in two different lines of my /etc/modutils/alsa. Since iZ already sent that, I won't do so again. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

I load my modules for beta9 anyway, using modprobe. Does aplay/arecord depend on the oss compat library in order to work properly?

* Re: wav compression lib ` Igor Gueths ` Cheryl Homiak @ ` Kerry Hoath 1 sibling, 0 replies; 8+ messages in thread From: Kerry Hoath @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup Microsoft did it again. they decided to set up another identifier inside the .wav header and say this wav file contains mp3 data not pcm. Also, some people mistakenly put a riff/wav header on an mp3 which is handled fine by media player etc but makes some programs choke and die. Either rename your files to mp3, or use freeamp or mpg123 or mpg321 that knows how to skip the wav headers. this problem isn't alsa specific, it h appens with traplayer and the kernel drives too.
