This happens with both mplayer and vlc. My soundcard is an Audigy 1 (SB0090). I'm running a 64-bit kernel with 32-bit userspace. I've tried libs and modules from CVS two days ago with no success. ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rlrevell - 03-18-06 01:07 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- EPIPE is just an underrun or overrun, it should not be a fatal error. Consumer apps like media players should be ignoring underruns by setting stop_threshold equal to boundary for the PCM. Does the app crash or exit when this occurs? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- bambam - 03-18-06 01:11 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- No, it doesn't crash or exit. It's just caught in a loop printing the following to the console (in case of mplayer, vlc is similar): alsa-play: write error: Broken pipe alsa-play: trying to reset soundcard alsa-play: write error: Broken pipe alsa-play: trying to reset soundcard alsa-play: write error: Broken pipe alsa-play: trying to reset soundcard Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 03-17-06 20:31 bambam New Issue 03-17-06 20:31 bambam Distribution => Debian sid with custom x86-64 kernel 03-17-06 20:31 bambam Kernel Version => 2.6.16-rc6 03-17-06 20:36 bambam Note Added: 0008656 03-17-06 21:07 bambam Note Added: 0008659 03-17-06 21:53 bambam Note Added: 0008662 03-18-06 01:07 rlrevell Note Added: 0008667 03-18-06 01:11 bambam Note Added: 0008668 ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
