I am having problems playing to a ASI6416 (a cobranet output card by AudioScience). aplay works but ogg123 and mplayer do not work in alsa mode (want to get pulseaudio and other gnome apps working, but the problems with those are unrelated I think). However using kernel OSS emulation everything works fine in the software. I am using Ubuntu 9.04 which has ALSA as follows: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.18. Compiled on Jul 28 2009 for kernel 2.6.28-13-generic (SMP). I have tried to use newer versions of ALSA and the audio science version of the driver and I have never had any different results (well at least when I could get the driver to compile I had the same results, the audio science driver is hard to build in ALSA mode). The dmesg bits that are important are attached to the message. aplay plays fine. ogg123 does play sound but it is just a series of little tiny chunks of audio as if the player were repeatedly underrunning somehow (could record it for you if that would be useful). The console output is: [CUT] Audio Device: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) output Playing: /home/amp/Music/Indigo Girls/Rites of Passage/02 - Galileo.ogg Ogg Vorbis stream: 2 channel, 44100 Hz Title: Galileo Artist: Indigo Girls Track number: 2 Discnumber: 0 Album: Rites of Passage Genre: Unknown Date: 2000-10-03 Musicbrainz_trackid: 34e17106-d147-4e35-ba6f-6889fce2c183 Musicbrainz_artistid: 00c49f40-d715-4b79-b223-432048602cce Musicbrainz_albumid: 0db4584c-64e8-4828-adde-4bf0b486521c Musicbrainz_albumartistid: 00c49f40-d715-4b79-b223-432048602cce Artistsort: Indigo Girls Tracktotal: 15 ALSA: underrun, at least 0ms.04:12.96 (242.6 kbps) Output Buffer 100.0% ALSA: underrun, at least 0ms.04:12.96 (278.1 kbps) Output Buffer 66.7% ALSA: underrun, at least 0ms.04:12.96 (266.7 kbps) Output Buffer 66.7% ALSA: underrun, at least 0ms.04:12.96 (269.7 kbps) Output Buffer 66.7% ALSA: underrun, at least 0ms.04:12.96 (259.7 kbps) Output Buffer 66.7% ALSA: underrun, at least 0ms.04:12.96 (258.8 kbps) Output Buffer 66.7% ALSA: underrun, at least 0ms.04:12.96 (284.5 kbps) Output Buffer 66.7% [repeated until the whole track has been "played"....] [CUT] mplayer doesn't play anything.
