You're not gonna like this (or maybe you will), but... The MIDI drivers were recently yanked from the source tree in -current. New drivers/modules are supposed to on the way Real Soon Now. This may or may not be a good thing for you. From what I understand, there were some real problems with the existing MIDI support (I know my own attempts to use it failed miserably). Mat (one "t") :-), our new sound/MIDI maintainer has been very busily working behind the scenes on a whole new framework for MIDI. Keep your eyes peeled; it shouldn't be much longer. You may want to subscribe to -current and/or cvs-src in the meantime, to make sure you won't miss anything. -- Conrad Sabatier - "In Unix veritas" From owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Jun 8 18:17:48 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 64A0A16A4CE for ; Tue, 8 Jun 2004 18:17:48 +0000 (GMT) Received: from pfepc.post.tele.dk (pfepc.post.tele.dk [195.41.46.237]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7049043D46 for ; Tue, 8 Jun 2004 18:17:47 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from freebsd.nospam@mekanix.dk) Received: from [192.168.1.14] (0x50a12504.boanxx13.adsl-dhcp.tele.dk [80.161.37.4]) by pfepc.post.tele.dk (Postfix) with ESMTP id 87B982628A6 for ; Tue, 8 Jun 2004 20:17:45 +0200 (CEST) From: Bjarne Wichmann Petersen To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Date: Tue, 8 Jun 2004 20:19:38 +0200 User-Agent: KMail/1.6.2 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Disposition: inline Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Message-Id: <200406082019.39161.freebsd.nospam@mekanix.dk> Subject: How to regain /dev/dsp after a application crash?

I noticed that the rate 1.000MB/s is hard-coded into umass.c. It seems that this rate does not really mean the actual speed and is only some information for cam_xpt.c to show in xpt_announce_periph(). When I use xine instead of mplayer, my DVD plays perfactly well. I suspected that this is caused by the difference between libdvdread and mplayer's internal dvd-read routine, but the performance is equally bad after I rebuild mplayer with -DWITH_LIBDVDREAD. One problem of using xine is that it is less stable than mplayer, but I think I will be using xine to play DVDs for now. I provide some details here in case someone is interested in improving mplayer. When data are present in mplayer's cache, the video and audio keep freezing as if I am playing from a very slow source. When mplayer finally runs out of data in the cache (or when the video and audio run out of sync? I don't know the actual case), I lose the audio, but the video plays much better.
