[Gwc-general] problem getting gwc to use alsa

[Johan De G. <joh...@sk...>]

Hello, here again...

So I got gwc running under 64bit, but I cannot use alsa.

I have alsa compiled into the 2.6.11 kernel. Using the rme hammerfall card. I 
do have the following installed:
alsa-lib 1.0.8
alsa-headers 1.0.8
alsa-utils 1.0.8
Other applications using alsa work fine.

I used "./configure --enable-alsa" and recompiled gwc (had forgotten this 
option the first time). When I want to play back a file, I get the following 
window: "failed to open output device /dev/dsp0"

if I click "OK", gwc crashes and I have the following in the terminal:

"daw2 ~ # gwc
Current stack limit: 8388608 bytes
ALSA lib pcm.c:2068:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM /dev/dsp0
##########################################################
audio_device_open: snd_pcm_open
No such file or directory
gwc: pcm.c:920: snd_pcm_delay: Assertion `pcm' failed."

So it looks like even if you compile to use alsa that it still looks to use 
the OSS output driver. Or do I have to give an option on the command line 
when starting gwc? I don't remember having to do that before and the --help 
doesn't list anything for output selection. Or do I have to use some other 
output device in the "Settings>Miscellaneous"? But then what, because "hw:0" 
also doesn't work?

regards,
Johan
