sound output plugin for pandora-configbutton

[KickAss]

linux audio is a frickin mess.
sdl seems to favor pulseaudio.

somehow sdl's alsa layer doesn't expect a bluetooth connection.

 

[KickAss]

in case you are running into problems with mplayer:

mplayer defaults to the oss audio driver which will ignore our alsa settings. so you wont get any bluetooth output.

to change that edit /usr/etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf

ao=alsa

if you want to pass the driver to your mplayer call you can use the -ao flag.

gmu and sdl still give me a hard time...

I tried with VICE and OpenXcom, both SDL programs, and they work fine with BT.

But in both cases, and SDL, i did disable compiling with pulseaudio with latest versions.

This env variable on start script helps too:

export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa

It's a shame we don't have an updated pulseaudio version, because in my PC with Linux is just plug and play.

unfortunately that doesnt work with the gmu pnd on superzaxxon.

 

[canseco]

I don't see the gmu program on the repo, is this version the one you talk about?

http://wej.k.vu/files/gmu-0.9.1.pnd

I could try to make a package with 0.10.1 and see if it works.

yes it is.
i think wejp didnt update his sdl codebase, but sure, go ahead.

holliefant will love you for making it work
[doublepost=1487454935,1487435692][/doublepost]@Ziz: i updated PAS to version 0.5
you might want to add it to the plugin.

 

[canseco]

Ok, now i see the problem you talk about, but so far any solution i tried failed.

This error seems to repeat a few times on the pnd.out

ALSA lib audio/pcm_bluetooth.c:1614: (audioservice_expect) BT_OPEN failed : Invalid argument (22)

Still need to do a few more test and polish a bit the PND, but i would upload it sometime next week.

Slaeshjag asked me to change the way I ship the script anyway, so I will change it, when I change the shipping. However I did not think yet about how to update pas.sh. I will add some version checking, too.
Are the .asoundrc files downwards compatible?

Are the .asoundrc files downwards compatible?

sure. the script does only one thing: it will copy and rename the template files, no matter what the contents are.

pas.sh didn't change much.
i revised the syntax of the .asoundrc files.
.asoundrc_hw's softvol control didn't work because i was lazy. should be perfectly alsa compliant now

 

[Ziz]

Awesome! I don't think there should be many problems with overwriting the script and the template files. I will have a look at this soon™.

He did a new version of gmu.. but no Pandora one... Someone want to try that and make an pnd of it, preferably with bluetooth? Pretty please with sugar on top?

 

[KickAss]

@canseco is already working on it.

 

[Holliefant]

Did I ever mention how much I like @canseco ?

 

[canseco]

Well, it works, but not with sugar on top, i mean bluetooth.

And you can like me as much as you want, but i'm already married,

 

[Holliefant]

I am too... i would have made an exception for you

 

[KickAss]

i just realized that i misread your name all the time.
i thought your name was "canesco".

but actually writing your name two posts ago i wondered: who's that canseco guy
