 |
|
Okay, I'm not sure how, but something I was doing (I have a suspicion it was xine, as that's the last application that worked) messed up my ALSA. Whenever I try to play a soud file, I get: | Code: | fbattagl@sauron fbattagl $ aplay soundfile.wav
Playing WAVE 'soundfile.wav' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 11025 Hz, Mono
aplay: set_params:847: Can't use period equal to buffer size (5513 == 5513) |
I found some info through google and apparently having your period size equal to your buffer size is a general bad idea, as this messes up interrupt timings. My quesion is, what are the settings supposed to be? I can't find what the default values for these parameters are, and I don't know what the *right* values should be. Does anyone know?
PS - (unmerging and re-emerging ALSA didn't get rid of this problem) |

In XMMS my ALSA settings are:
Buffer time (ms) : 500
Period time (ms) : 50
but that's my xmms setting, I'm not sure how to find it out otherwise.
