[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#702110: alsa-oss: Doesn't work with xoscope

[Torquil Macdonald Sørensen]

Package: alsa-oss
Version: 1.0.25-1
Severity: normal

The oscilloscope software "xoscope" expects to use /dev/dsp when
"Soundcard" is selected in the "Device" submenu of the File menu.
However, even after starting it with the command "aoss xoscope",
it outputs the same error message on the terminal as it does when
starting it directly:

tmac at asus:~$ aoss xoscope
No valid data sources found... exiting

(xoscope:3521): GLib-WARNING **: /build/buildd-glib2.0_2.35.8-1-amd64-lGLf9n/
glib2.0-2.35.8/./glib/giounix.c:412Error while getting flags for FD: Bad file descriptor (9)

The second part appears just as one selects "Soundcard" on the menu.

My xoscope version is 2.0-3.2.

Best regards
Torquil Sørensen
