Hi, I have that print error when I try to use dmix with aplay. I try: aplay -D plug:dmix somelittlewavfile.wav Output error (using strace): SYS_299(0x56a4d5, 0x1, 0x3b0, 0xffffffff, 0x26d00) = 2293760 SYS_300(0x230000, 0, 0x102, 0xbe95b610, 0) = 0 SYS_300(0x230000, 0, 0x101, 0xbe95b610, 0) = 0 SYS_298(0x230000, 0xbe95b64c, 0x2, 0x10, 0) = -1 EFBIG (File too large) (repeated 10 times) Does someone know what really mean EFBIG (File too large) since the wav file I try to open is about 16.7kb. And just before SYS_xxx, I have that output (using strace): read(3, "root:x:0:\naudio:x:17:root\ndaemon"..., 4096) = 206 close(3) I'm using alsa 1.0.15 on Linux Kernel 2.6.24. The normal output error of aplay using -D plug:dmix is: aplay: main:546: audio open error: Operation not permitted Note that's works if I don't use -D plug:dmix... My ulimit output: core file size (blocks, -c) 0 data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited scheduling priority (-e) 0 file size (blocks, -f) unlimited pending signals (-i) 512 max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 32 max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 1024 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8 POSIX message queues (bytes, -q) 819200 real-time priority (-r) 0 stack size (kbytes, -s) 8192 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) 512 virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited file locks (-x) unlimited Someone has an idea about what is my problem? Maybe someone has a way to dive more deeply to really know what is behind EFBIG (File too large) ? Thank you!
