I ran into this the other day; it appears that there has been a change in
the sound API recently such that you need to do SNDCTL_DSP_SPEED before
SNDCTL_DSP_SETFMT. I haven't had time to dig into CVS to see when this
happened or why.
This code used to work in 3.x and in 4.x up until a week or two ago:
audio_fd = open("/dev/audio", O_RDWR);
if (audio_fd < 0)
{
perror("/dev/audio");
exit(1);
}
i = AFMT_S16_LE;
if (ioctl(audio_fd, SNDCTL_DSP_SETFMT, &i) == -1)
{
perror("Setting audio format");
exit(1);
}
i = 1;
if (ioctl(audio_fd, SNDCTL_DSP_STEREO, &i) == -1)
{
perror("Setting stereo mode");
exit(1);
}
i = SAMPLE_HZ;
if (ioctl(audio_fd, SNDCTL_DSP_SPEED, &i) == -1)
{
perror("Setting audio rate");
exit(1);
}
if (i != SAMPLE_HZ)
{
fprintf(stderr, "Soundcard doesn't support %dHz (offers %d)\n",
SAMPLE_HZ, i);
exit(1);
}
Now, it fails at the SNDCTL_DSP_SETFMT call (invalid argument), but if I
move the SNDCTL_DSP_SETSPEED immediately after the open, normal working is
restored.
