[Alsa-user] sound on H2200 ipaq for flite

[Udo v. d. H. <ud...@xs...>]

Hello,

I am trying to get flite working on a HP iPAQ of the H2210 type.

System sounds work.
But when I run flite, I get:

root@h2200:/etc$ flite -t "test 1 2 3"
ALSA lib pcm_plug.c:773:(snd_pcm_plug_hw_refine_schange) Unable to find
an usable access for '(null)'
audio_open_alsa: failed to set number of channels to 1. Invalid argument.

So the default sounds card is not default? (it is using null?)
Also there might be a mono versus stereo issue.

root@h2200:/etc$ cat asoundrc
#
# simple dmix configuration
#
pcm.dsp0 {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "dmix"
}

ctl.mixer0 {
    type hw
    card 0
}

These are the defaults contents.
A line like:
pcm.!default default:h2200 Audio

doesn't really help.

root@h2200:/etc$ cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [h2200 Audio    ]: h2200 Audio - h2200 Audio
                      iPAQ h2200 Audio [codec Philips UDA1380]

root@h2200:/etc$ aplay -L
default:CARD=h2200 Audio
    h2200 Audio, h2200 Audio
    Default Audio Device
null
    Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)


Does anybody know how to make the config so that flite doesn't complain
and sound works for applications?

Kind regards,
Udo
