otto not outputting audio

[Rogier]

Ok, so I've installed otto. The web interface works fine with the test channel. But when I define real channels, otto doesn't output anything. It doesn't work with shoucast, but also not with mpg123. I'm running otto on gentoo-linux.

So I ran a "strace /usr/local/otto/bin/otto start". This gives me huge output. It's mostly searching for perl modules, but then when it seems to have opened on, I get:

ioctl(5, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, 0xbfffe6e8) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device)
_llseek(5, 0, [0], SEEK_CUR)

A larger part of such ouput looks like:

read(3, "package Otto::Jockey;\n\n# Copyrig"..., 4096) = 4096

Any idea what is going wrong?

Try turning on debugging in the otto.conf file.
Then check var for a log file. 

It almost looks like you did not setup or install the mysql.
The debug log file my give more clues.
