Hi all! I run kubuntu 7.10 and decided to compile xine myself (I needed some of the new features and (k)ubuntu only updates packages for bugs, not newer package releases). The problem right now is that there is no more alsa output option. I deleted the config once and ran xine to reset to the latest config file, but these are the only available options: # audio driver to use # { auto null oss none file }, default: 0 #audio.driver:auto (I know they are commented out since those are the default values and I did not change them.) When I run xine with -A alsa, nothing changes. Audio will be written to a wav file in my homedir if another program is using sound, and the soundcard will be blocked for other programs when xine is the first to start using sound. I tried to add 'alsa' to that config option, but when I launch xine the gui config (xine-ui) still does not have an 'alsa' option. When I then look back at the config, xine has reset the list and put the line I changed to the front of the config. This is very inconvenient and totally strange. Could somebody help me out with this problem? I have been a longtime happy xine user and do need the alsa output feature. :-) PS. I have sent this mail before, and mailman responded that the list admin would review this mail. But nothing happend and I have since subscribed to the list, I hope it works this time.

(I did a search for 'alsa' with synaptic to make sure those dev packages were installed, but I did not realize asound was needed. :-) ) Pieter Van Nuffel [aka Muts/SUCKER] -- UNOX - soep was nog nooit zo stabiel dependency hell? => /bin/there/done/that _________________________________________________________________ Connect to the next generation of MSN Messenger http://imagine-msn.com/messenger/launch80/default.aspx?locale=en-us&source=wlmailtagline |

There are a few things you can do. First, you can get "new" stuff by enabling the "backports" Ubuntu repository. Check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports for information on how to enable those repositories. I've built xine on Ubuntu since 7.04, and apt-get makes it really easy to create an output with almost every option enabled. Just execute the following before you build... sudo apt-get build-deps [package] (It's been so long since I did it, I can't remember if it's "xine" or "xine-lib" or "libxine", but that's the syntax of the command.) This will likely install hordes of development packages - the nice thing is that, once installed, your normal updates should keep these packages updated too. Then, try the build again. What I'd recommend is using the technique described at http://www.xinehq.de/index.php/faq#DEBBUILD - this will build .deb packages for you, which you can then install using sudo dpkg -i [name-of-deb].deb That way, you don't lose the package management aspect of it. -- Daniel J.
