Trying to get mpg321 to work with libao
Posted: Fri 21 Oct 2005, 18:24
Hi,
I've been battling (and losing) in getting mpg321 to play mp3 from rvxt. Typing mpg321 ivy.mp3 yields "no default libao driver available"
Typing mpg321 -o oss ivy.mp3 yields "can't find suitable libao driver (is device in use?).
Searching the web I found that
Can't find a suitable libao driver. (Is device in use?)

but, fritz, you rock!! that reminded me to try talking to the
different devices (martin, your advice to "read manpages" did not help
-- what manpages??), so i ln -s'd /dev/dsp to /dev/dsp1 instead of 0,
and it works!! (i mean, so far as i can tell ... i'm not in my room,
so i can't hear the sound coming out of the speakers or not, but i'm
sure my neighbors can. heh.)
thanks, all!!
It's now beyond me, can anyone shed any light ?
Many Thanks,
Jeff.
