Hi, i use ubuntu gutsy betas and i try to get the alsa pcm jack plugin to work. I copy here from the bug report i commited to ubuntu: Binary package hint: libasound2-dev Install libasound2-dev and libasound2-plugins. Note that the previous ubuntu release removed the alsa jack plugin from the libasound2-plugins package without replacement. It was nonetheless still possible to build it from the corresponding alsa-plugins source tarball and then simply copy it to /usr/lib/alsa-lib/.. Sadly with the gutsy betas even this isn't an option anymore. While it is still possible to build the alsa-plugins-1.0.14 tarball against the 1.0.14 ubuntu libasound2-dev package, the jack plugin simply doesn't work anymore. Here's a testcase for you guys: start jackd [if realtime or not doesn't matter] add this to your .asoundrc: pcm.jack { type jack playback_ports { 0 alsa_pcm:playback_1 1 alsa_pcm:playback_2 } capture_ports { 0 alsa_pcm:capture_1 1 alsa_pcm:capture_2 } } pcm.jackplug { #pcm.!default { type plug slave { pcm "jack" } } And then on the console try: aplay -D jackplug some_wav_file.wav I consistently get this error message: ~/sound/Ardour_Sessions$ aplay -D jackplug nuu_samba/export/guitar.wav JACK tmpdir identified as [/dev/shm] Playing WAVE 'nuu_samba/export/guitar.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Stereo aplay: set_params:900: Sample format non available Not only is it bad english [;)] but also it seems to be a regression as this used to work perfectly fine in gutsy with libasound2 version 1.0.13.. -- Palimm Palimm! http://tapas.affenbande.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
