A NOTE has been added to this issue. ====================================================================== <https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=1228> ====================================================================== Reported By: hil Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: ALSA - liboss Issue ID: 1228 Category: Reproducibility: always Severity: minor Priority: normal Status: new ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 07-03-2005 09:09 CEST Last Modified: 06-08-2006 04:01 CEST ====================================================================== Summary: Skype Does not work with aoss Description: I downloaded alsa-oss-1.0.9rc2 and install by # ./configure --with-aoss=yes && make && make install as root. Virtually every program works except skype (http://www.skype.com/) version 1.1.0.13_API. I downloaded the Fedora version of skype from the skype official website. Skype only uses /dev/dsp. I guess skype uses /dev/dsp as microphone input as well. I could not hear anything and the microphone did not work as well if I run skype like aoss /usr/bin/skype. If I run skype without aoss, then skype works just fine. ====================================================================== Relationships ID Summary ---------------------------------------------------------------------- related to 0001224 artsd-like style ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hetfield - 04-01-06 10:55 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ok i have now skype working with aoss and dmix. solution found somewhere in the web, not only mine... 1) i have whole .11rc4 2) i have .asoundrc pasted below (yes i know i should use no more it) 3) start skype this way: export ALSA_OSS_PCM_DEVICE="skype" aoss /opt/skype/skype.bin --resources-path /opt/skype/ it works with dmix, i can listen mplayer and use skype audio only a notice: whould be so nice if next alsa could implement such things by default settings cat .asoundrc pcm.skype { type asym playback.pcm "skypeout" capture.pcm "skypein" } pcm.skypein { type route slave { pcm "skypedsnoop" format S16_LE } ttable { 0 {0 0.5} 1 {0 0.5} } } pcm.skypeout { type plug slave { pcm "dmix" } } pcm.skypedsnoop { type dsnoop ipc_key 1133 slave { pcm "hw:0,0" period_size 256 periods 16 buffer_size 16384 } bindings { 0 0 } } ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Raymond - 06-08-06 04:01 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If Hetfield 's solution work, this may mean the problem is dsnoop in stead of dmix. The OSS application try to capture mono, but the ALSA driver of most on-board audio chip only support stereo capture instead of mono Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 07-03-05 09:09 hil New Issue 08-09-05 15:33 rapand Note Added: 0005732 08-10-05 00:49 rlrevell Relationship added duplicate of 0001224 08-10-05 00:50 rlrevell Note Added: 0005740 12-31-05 00:19 rlrevell Note Added: 0007315 01-02-06 18:54 rlrevell Relationship deleted duplicate of 0001224 01-02-06 18:55 rlrevell Relationship added related to 0001224 01-02-06 18:56 rlrevell Note Added: 0007375 01-05-06 21:36 Hetfield Note Added: 0007479 01-05-06 21:40 rlrevell Note Added: 0007480 01-05-06 21:42 rlrevell Note Added: 0007481 01-05-06 22:01 Hetfield Note Added: 0007482 01-28-06 05:34 nono31 Note Added: 0007824 01-28-06 05:35 nono31 Issue Monitored: nono31 01-28-06 05:38 rlrevell Note Added: 0007825 01-28-06 06:11 nono31 Note Added: 0007826 01-28-06 06:12 nono31 File Added: strace_aoss_kiax.bz2 01-28-06 06:13 nono31 Note Added: 0007827 03-22-06 00:28 rlrevell Note Added: 0008761 03-22-06 10:02 Hetfield Note Added: 0008849 04-01-06 10:55 Hetfield Note Added: 0009054 06-08-06 04:01 Raymond Note Added: 0010107 ====================================================================== _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
