[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#364833: alsa-base: artsd claims it can't open device default when full-duplex

[Mau]

Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.11-1
Severity: normal


after latest update to 1.0.11-1 artsd claims it can't open device default when
full-duplex is requested; output follows:


$ /usr/bin/artsd -F 10 -S 4096 -d -s 1 -l 0 -f
artsd version is 1.5.2
gsl: using Unix98 pthreads directly for mutexes and conditions
autodetecting driver:
- oss: 10
- alsa: 15
- null: -1
- esd: -1
- jack: -1
- nas: -1
- toss: 4
.... which means we'll default to alsa
[artsd: 10729] SoundServerStartup --> got lock
ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:224:(make_local_socket) connect failed: : Invalid argument
ALSA lib pcm_dsnoop.c:585:(snd_pcm_dsnoop_open) unable to connect client
virtualize StereoVolumeControl
audio format is 44100 Hz, 16 bits, 2 channels

addDirectory(/usr/lib/mcop/Noatun,Noatun)
addDirectory(~/.mcop/trader-cache,)
Arts::MidiManager registered successfully.
[artsd: 10729] SoundServerStartup <-- released lock
Error while initializing the sound driver:
device: default can't be opened for capture (Invalid argument)

The sound server will continue, using the null output device.
Synth_PLAY: closing audio fd


By specifying the output device hw:0 (artsd -D hw:0) or hw:1 (I have 2 sound
cards installed) artsd seems to work fine.

Sorry if this bug report went in the wrong place but this problem arose after
alsa-base (+libasound2 +alsa-utils +others alsa related packages) update:
please reassign if necessary.

Thanks and regards

Mau
