 |
|
I'm trying to get XMMS to work, but it won't play mp3s. I get a "couldn't open audio" error. When I run XMMS in the console and try to play an mp3 i get
| Code: |
** WARNING **: oss_open(): Failed to open audio device (/dev/sound/dsp): Device or resource busy
|
When I try to run
as root, I get an error:
| Code: |
-bash: /dev/sound/dsp: Permission denied
|
I don't think it's in use, but I'm not that sure either. Does anyone know what's going on?
Thanks, KsE |

Just guessing, but if this problem occurs while you are using kde you probably have to emerge xmms-arts, so that xmms can work together with the kde sound-deamon artsd.
Also make sure, that your user is in the audio group.
Ah, and you can't run /dev/sound/dsp, it's a device, not a program. 
Good luck!  |

Ok, so when I "emerge xmms-arts" I get:
| Code: |
Calculating dependencies
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy "xmms-arts" have been masked.
|
So now what do I do? |

So you are using kde? Otherwise xmms-arts won't help.
Anyway, to emerge the package, just give the whole path, for example:
emerge /usr/portage/media-plugins/xmms-arts/xmms-arts-0.4-r6.ebuild
Good luck! |

to emerge a masked package you can
| Code: | | ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge xmms-arts |
if you have a different arch just replace x86 with the your running. |

Yes I'm using kde. I emerged xmms-arts now, and I'm still getting the same error:
...nevermind, i just tried it again and it worked, maybe it took a minute after kde started up to get working.
Thanks
