This is fanatastic information, I've pulling my hair out all weekend
trying to get SPDIF output from normal TV!
My playback entry is 3 and I have hardware mixing through my Audigy 2 so
I set my options up appropriately.
Unfortunately I now get a blank screen when watching TV and this error
printed lots of times in the terminal where I started the front end:
2004-02-22 20:26:41 Opening OSS audio device '/dev/dsp'.
Error opening audio device (/dev/dsp):
/dev/dsp: No such device
... repeat ...
player: Can't open audio device: /dev/dsp
Did you get this error when you were figuring things out?
I can get TV with sound through SPDIF no problem by using mplayer like this:
cat /dev/video0 | mplayer -ao alsa9 -vo xv
although I guess that's not going through OSS is it? Doing this:
cat /dev/video0 | mplayer -ao oss vo xv
gives the same /dev/dsp not found.
but /dev/dsp does exist:
crw------- 1 ed root 14, 3 Sep 15 14:40 /dev/dsp
so I guess there's something wrong with that dsp_map=3 and adsp_map=3 I
am using.
Have you got any ideas what's wrong?
Thanks,
J.
