Well I'm finally back from the ALSA mailinglist. (I have since given up and managed to get OSS working) So for the first time I get audio output.
now I'm having a problem with PD running in full dulpex. I get the following message when I start:
/dev/dsp (readonly): Device or resource busy
this happens when run as root as well as a normal user. (so its not permissions)
I can do audio out in this case but no audio in.
If in run pd -nodac
I get audio in and no audio out.
my OSS sndstat is:
Card config: Ensoniq AudioPCI 97 at 0xe000 irq 10
Audio devices: 0: Sound Blaster PCI128 (DUPLEX) 1: Sound Blaster PCI128 (playback only)
Synth devices:
Midi devices: 0: AudioPCI97
Timers: 0: System clock
Mixers: 0: AudioPCI 97 (STAC9708)
I see here that audio device 0 is "duplex" and 1 is only for playback. Is there a way I can force PD to use the first device? (assuming it's stuck in playback mode because its using the second device. (might have to do with modules.conf settings?)
Thanks all,
