I am running Debian unstable with kernel 2.6.1 and having trouble getting sound output to work with programs that use SDL. I have installed the libsdl1.2-debian package.
Alsa sound output works fine from xmms or through gstreamer. But no luck with SDL. I have scoured the web for info on this and haven't come up with anything that works. One guy (http://www.tfug.org/pipermail/tfug/2003-November/005312.html) found that he could get it to work by symlinking to /dev/dsp, but this didn't work for me. On my system, I am wondering if maybe /dev/dsp is messed up. If I try to start up esd, for example, it says "/dev/dsp: no such device". And yet alsa sound works fine in other programs. Has anybody had this kind of problem with SDL, and can help me to fix it? Thanks for your advice. Dan Lenski Also, here is some example output from SDL programs (I tried oss driver as well, but that didn't work): $ SDL_DEBUG=true SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa zsnes [...] SDL_SetError: No available audio device Sound init failed! freq: 22050, channels: 2, samples: 512 ZSNES could not find any joysticks. $ SDL_DEBUG=true SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa vectoroids SDL_SetError: No available audio device Warning: I could not set up audio for 22050 Hz 16-bit stereo. The Simple DirectMedia error that occured was: No available audio device -- I don't need to compromise my principles, because they don't have the slightest bearing on what happens to me anyway. —Calvin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
