Package: libesd-alsa0 Version: 0.2.35-2 Followup-For: Bug #283814
I also have similar problems. I am using onboard CMedia sound with the following lspci output: 0000:00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) 0000:00:1f.5 0401: 8086:24d5 (rev 02) It has been working adequately using the i810_audio OSS module and libesd0. Today I switched to using the alsa modules (snd-intel8x0) and to libesd-alsa0. Sounds that play through esd have some sort of noisy interference and I have also found that mp3's played through xmms with the esd plugin seem to play slightly sped up (faster and higher pitch). If esd is not loaded I can play sounds perfectly with aplay and with either the OSS or ALSA output modules for xmms. If I load esd($ esd&) , sounds played either through esdplay or xmms with the esd output plugin sound noisy and interrupted. If I load esd with -d hw as mentioned by the reporter of this bug ($ esd -d hw&) then sounds played with esdplay and the xmms esd output plugin play perfectly. Therefore I have added "-d hw" to the default_options section of my /etc/esound/esd.conf file as a work around. I know that my CMedia onboard sound is pretty rubbish and it only accepts 48000kHz audio and it doesn't even have a proper hardware volume control. Because of this and the fact that MP3s play faster (which I suspect is due to them being rendered at 44kHz but then being played back at 48kHz) I think esd is getting confused about sample rates. I am not sure why the "-d hw" option makes a difference though! -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (800, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.27-2-686 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages libesd-alsa0 depends on: ii esound-common 0.2.35-2 Enlightened Sound Daemon - Common ii libasound2 1.0.8-1 ALSA library ii libaudiofile0 0.2.6-5 Open-source version of SGI's audio ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
