Hello.
True, padsp doesn't check for the 'audio' group., but the program
jclic for example, check if the user belongs to the group 'audio' and
tries to connect through OSS devices mapping from ALSA, instead of
/dev/dsp directly.
Log:
utils/padsp.c: open(/dev/snd/controlC0)
utils/padsp.c: open(/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p)
utils/padsp.c: open(/dev/snd/controlC0)
utils/padsp.c: open(/dev/snd/controlC0)
utils/padsp.c: open(/dev/snd/pcmC0D0c)
utils/padsp.c: open(/dev/snd/controlC0)
utils/padsp.c: open(/dev/snd/controlC0)
utils/padsp.c: open(/dev/snd/pcmC0D1p)
Browsing ALSA configuration (ALSA-Configuration.txt) in the
alsa-source, I found that there are two ways of getting an application
to work with ALSA if the application was written for OSS, the first
way is to allow the application open /dev/dsp* and the second way is
try to access native ALSA device files such as /dev/snd/pcmC*
ALSA PCM devices to OSS devices mapping
=======================================
/dev/snd/pcmC0D0[c|p] -> /dev/audio0 (/dev/audio) -> minor 4
/dev/snd/pcmC0D0[c|p] -> /dev/dsp0 (/dev/dsp) -> minor 3
/dev/snd/pcmC0D1[c|p] -> /dev/adsp0 (/dev/adsp) -> minor 12
/dev/snd/pcmC1D0[c|p] -> /dev/audio1 -> minor 4+16 = 20
/dev/snd/pcmC1D0[c|p] -> /dev/dsp1 -> minor 3+16 = 19
/dev/snd/pcmC1D1[c|p] -> /dev/adsp1 -> minor 12+16 = 28
/dev/snd/pcmC2D0[c|p] -> /dev/audio2 -> minor 4+32 = 36
/dev/snd/pcmC2D0[c|p] -> /dev/dsp2 -> minor 3+32 = 39
/dev/snd/pcmC2D1[c|p] -> /dev/adsp2 -> minor 12+32 = 44
To force the application to open /dev/dsp by default, also to the PA
server specified in $PULSE_SERVER, I added a extra checking to
'src/utils/padsp.c':
static int real_open(const char *filename, int flags, mode_t mode) {
int r, _errno = 0;
+ char *env_d;
debug(DEBUG_LEVEL_VERBOSE, __FILE__": open(%s)\n",
filename?filename:"NULL");
+ env_d = getenv("DISPLAY");
+ if (!env_d) {
+ return _errno;
+ }
+ else if (strcmp(env_d, ":0.0") != 0) {
+ if (strstr(filename, "/dev/snd/pcmC") != NULL) {
+ function_exit();
+ return _errno;
+ }
+ }
+
I have used '$DISPLAY' to differentiate thin clients of regular
clients, but I suppose that just checking if a program tries playback
through OSS devices mapping '/dev/snd /pcmC*' should be sufficient and
of course the hack can be improved.
