Excerpts from Samuel Martín Moro's message of 2010-12-03 01:45:14 +0100:
I added this .asoundrc:
pcm.!default { type hw card 0 }
ctl.!default { type hw card 0 }
It fixed at least a problem: I've no more warning about snd_pcm_dmix_open. But, still no sound while banshee's operating...
I don't know the .asoundrc syntax but as far as I can tell you should tell your programs to use a dmix device instead of hw:something. dmix means software mixing while hw:something means the program uses the device exclusively.
If that doesn't work you could try PA.
Good luck.
I have now the following: pcm.card0 { type plug slave.pcm "dmix" hint { show on description "My dmix output" } } ctl.mixer0 { type hw card 0 } I also tried replacing slave.pcm "dmix" of card0 by "dmixer", defining the following: pcm.dmixer { type dmix ipc_key 2048 slave { pcm "hw:0,1" period_time 0 period_size 1024 buffer_size 4096 rate 48000 } bindings { 0 0 1 1 } } None of them fixed the problem. And I'm still not sure I'm calling the good output (the second test uses hw0,1, the first one does not specify it) But there's nothing coming out of my TV anymore. Also, when trying to open a file with alsaplayer, if vlc or banshee are already playing something, that error pops out: ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1018:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave snd_pcm_open: Device or resource busy (plug:dmix) [...] NOTE: THIS IS THE NULL PLUGIN. YOU WILL NOT HEAR SOUND!! I don't understand. As far as I remember, I was always able to play a game while watching a video and/or playing music.
