hello all,
I have got a peculiar problem.
Usually i work in gnome,and there only i listen to songs and movies in xmms
and mplayer.
Oneday,i went to kde and tried playing songs in xmms there in kde..,but to
my horror,it showed
device not detected ,and souncard busy.Then again i came back to Gnome,and
tried
playing xmms,and to my surprise no sound was coming..!!!! ,but the song is
seen to be played.in the xmms player..,ditto with mplayer too....But,in
other OS,i.e Windows i face no problem.
But since most of the times i work in Linux(Fedora 2),i prefer working and
listening to songs in linux only..
But,after this problem,my life has become hell,and i dunno what to do..
Can,anyone suggest me what may the problem..???
I have checked volume control,it was not in mute..,and if sound-card not
ready,then how come in the player song vl play..??
Plzz,help me...
cheers
romel

In KDE wait for about a minute and then try playing the file. Also run
alsa-mixer at command line as root and check out if your sound is
muted. Don't depend too much on the GUI apps in KDE or GNOME to tell
you whats wrong with your system.

The reason should be pretty simple. The sound output server xmms might have
used would be esd under Gnome, which does not run under KDE by default.
When you switched back to gnome arts sound daemon had probably captured the
pcm device.
The simplest way would be to use esd in both gnome and kde. Disable arts
in kde. run esd and your sound should be back.
Its indeed scary to program without music :)

generally /dev/dsp is a device which used by xmms for output.

Only if output plugin is OSS and not esd/arts/alsa

I thought Fedora core 2 came with a 2.6 kernel and alsa. It does come with
libalsa and alsa-utils. So alsa should work, no ?
Or are you referring to the lack of alsa plugin in xmms for fc2 by default ?
That can be easily fixed with the plugin from xmms.

It has 2.6.5 kernel installed by default but i think ALSA has OSS
Emulation enabled so for some reason XMMS works only when OSS is
selected.

Thats where esd / arts step in. Using ALSA/OSS emulation devices directly is
not a recommended way for basic sound applications as most regular apps
block the devices.

yes. ALSA dmix is the answer then. Then OSS becomes the problem child.
