Very strange... My asound.conf file is below. I have a certain setup, and sometimes it makes my sound output stutter a little. It isn't much, and doesn't seem so all the time, but it happens always at the same time for the same sound samples. I suspect this is due to the a52 plugin. But the odd thing is, why doesn't OSS have any stuttering? I mean, it's just an extra layer on top of ALSA... If at all possible, i'd like not to have this stuttering in ALSA. for the moment, i'll just use oss emulation in xine. asound.conf: ---------------- pcm.ac3_51 { type a52 slavepcm "dmixer" rate 48000 channels 6 bitrate 448 format S16_LE } pcm.dmixer { type dmix ipc_key 123789 ipc_key_add_uid true slave { pcm "hw:0,1" } } pcm.ac3_stereo { type route slave.pcm "ac3_51" slave.channels 6 ttable.0.0 1 ttable.1.1 1 ttable.0.2 1 ttable.1.3 1 ttable.0.4 0.5 ttable.1.4 0.5 ttable.0.5 0.5 ttable.1.5 0.5 } pcm.!default { type empty slave { pcm "ac3_stereo" } } ctl.!default { type hw card 0 } pcm.!surround51 { type empty slave { pcm "ac3_51" } } ctl.!surround51 { type hw card 0 } -- AL13N is my name and head-biting is my game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
