Definition: Pianobar: CLI for Pandora Internet Radio. Don't complain, it's what I use.
Problem: Sometimes the sound works. Sometimes it doesn't. It's an ALSA problem though. Below are the logs of running the program.

All of the songs that have Code: | ao_alsa WARNING: Unable to open surround playback. Trying default device... | on them, I can hear. (the notice shows up just after the name, in time too). All the rest, I can't. Pressing 'n' for Next Song rolls my dice again, no different from waiting the 5 minutes of silence, when the next song comes along, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Ideally, all songs would work, without the error. Any suggestions? |

Get some decent debugging info, using the speaker-test command - read config in my sig, for lots of useful info.
What is pianobar's "surround"? Is it ALSA's "surround51" PCM? _________________ Improve your font rendering and ALSA sound |
