Hello all, (first mail on this list, I'm new here!) I'm trying to do some funky things with ALSA/PulseAudio/Bluetooth on a raspberry PI, and I already have many things working. However, I would really like to use some LADSPA plugins as pcm devices/plugs in alsa. Following the many guides online my .asoundrc looks like this (using the simpelest of plugins available): pcm.Amp { type ladspa slave.pcm "plughw:0,0"; path "/usr/lib/ladspa"; plugins [ { id 1049 label amp_stereo input { controls [ 6 ] } } ] } However, no matter what I try (changing the slave, the config, ...), I always seem to get: pi@raspberrypi ~ $ aplay -Dplug:Amp piano2.wav ALSA lib pcm.c:2217:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM Amp aplay: main:682: audio open error: File exists The plugin definitely exists: pi@raspberrypi ~ $ analyseplugin amp <snip> Plugin Name: "Stereo Amplifier" Plugin Label: "amp_stereo" Plugin Unique ID: 1049 Maker: "Richard Furse (LADSPA example plugins)" <snip> So that isn't the problem. If anyone has any hint to tell me where to start looking that would be superb. I find nothing in the logs, -vv doesn't help either, ... so I don't really see what I'm doing wrong. One thing that did work (using pulseaudio) was to load the plugin directly as a PA module, but I want to be able to control the controls of my plugin in realtime (something which doesn't seem possible until a much later version of PA): ( pactl load-module module-ladspa-sink sink_name=ladspa_amp master=alsa_output.platform-bcm2835_AUD0.0.analog-stereo plugin=amp label=amp_stereo control=6 ) kindest and any help much appreciated! - bram -- http://www.samplesumo.com http://www.freesound.org http://www.smartelectronix.com http://www.musicdsp.org office: +32 (0) 9 335 59 25 mobile: +32 (0) 484 154 730 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
