Hello All,
First off, I'd like to thank everyone that helped me get LIRC working
with the PVR150. It works like a dream now. The problem that I have
now seems like it may be a permission issue but I'm not sure where. I
can't use ALSA if I'm logged in as the mythtv user but it works fine if
I'm logged in as root. Here is what I get as root and as mythtv:
[root at mythbox /]# aplay /usr/share/sounds/KDE_Startup.wav
Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/KDE_Startup.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little
Endian, Rate 22050 Hz, Mono
[root at mythbox /]# exit
exit
[mythtv at mythbox /]$ aplay /usr/share/sounds/KDE_Startup.wav
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:797:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to create IPC shm
instance
aplay: main:533: audio open error: Permission denied
Here are the permissions of /dev/audio and /dev/dsp:
[mythtv at mythbox /]$ ls -l /dev/au*
crwxrwxrwx 1 mythtv root 14, 4 Oct 18 03:24 /dev/audio
[mythtv at mythbox /]$ ls -l /dev/dsp
crwxrwxrwx 1 mythtv root 14, 3 Oct 18 03:24 /dev/dsp
Any ideas????
Oh so close...............
