Re: [Playerstage-users] Player with a multi-purpose DAC

[Vikram H. <har...@op...>]

I got an answer from the Devs on this one (didnt mean to post it twice.
oops):

Hi Vikram,

It is very likely that you will need to write a Player driver for your
card. You should check the player supported-hardware list

http://playerstage.sourceforge.net/faq.html#player_hardware

but I'm pretty sure we don't have a driver for your card. The good news is

that writing a Player driver is pretty straightforward if you have
hardware drivers already. Essentially you just interpret between the data
that your Linux driver is producing and consuming, and Player's
device-independent formats. Take a look at some of the Player driver code
to get an idea of what you need to do. The waveaudio driver is a
reasonable place to start; it is a very simple example that shifts data
between the audio driver's interface (/dev/audio in the filesystem) and
Player.

If you write a driver, please consider contributing it to the project.
Player would definitely benefit from some DAC support, and you could make
some people happy.

best,
Richard
