Hello gentoo users,
I have a little annoying problem for some linux sound guru. I have a
sound card which doesnt support HW mixing (CM8738) so I am using alsa
with dmix, and also arts, they both work, even simultaneously (i can
play mp3 in xmms with arts output plugin, play another mp3 in
alsaplayer using alsa and mplayer using arts) but mozilla refuses to
play notification sounds. If run from a console, it complains like
this:
ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1155:(snd_pcm_hw_open) open /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p
failed: Device or resource busy
when trying to preview notification sound. Any ideas where the problem
could be? I am getting quite confused with this linux sound...
And maybe another related question. How can i make mplayer use alsa
too? I tried setting ao=alsa or ao=alsa9 or ao=alsa10 in
/etc/mplayer.conf, but neither works (Could not open/initialize audio
device -> no sound.).
Any tips are appreciated.
Peter
