Gst mixer hangs when dsp is busy
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Gnome-volume-control and the mixer applet both hang on startup when /dev/dsp is used by another application. Strace says: open("/dev/dsp", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE
There was supposed to be some workaround code for this in gst_oss_element_open(), but apparently that doesn't really work here... Looking into it...
Oh, d'oh. Found it. Indeed, we don't open /dev/dsp when using the mixer. .. But we do for autodetecting devices. DOH! Fix locally, I'll commit tomorrow, FDO CVS is misbehaving here, I can't reach it...
Nevermind, CVS works again, fix applied, so closing... Thanks for reporting, I'd never have noticed because I don't have such a soundcard. ;).
