Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-emulation mailing list <emulation@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 244624: audio/linux-c7-alsa-plugins-pulseaudio: conf symlink should be relative https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=244624 --- Description --- audio/linux-c7-alsa-plugins-pulseaudio installs the following symlink: /compat/linux/etc/alsa/conf.d/50-pulseaudio.conf -> /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/50-pulseaudio.conf This does not work as in case of symlinks there's no translation. This breaks several "Enhanced Edition" games (BG, PST, IWD) -- the game starts, but there's no sound: AL lib: (WW) alc_initconfig: Failed to initialize backend "pulse" ALSA lib conf.c:3652:(config_file_open) cannot access file /etc/alsa/conf.d/50-pulseaudio.conf ALSA lib conf.c:3572:(snd_config_hooks_call) function snd_config_hook_load returned error: No such file or directory ALSA lib conf.c:4026:(snd_config_update_r) hooks failed, removing configuration AL lib: (EE) ALCplaybackAlsa_open: Could not open playback device 'default': No such file or directory Copying the target file instead of symlink helps, as well as the "fixed" version of symlink: /compat/linux/etc/alsa/conf.d/50-pulseaudio.conf -> ../../../usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/50-pulseaudio.conf I'm still getting the warning, but sound works: AL lib: (WW) alc_initconfig: Failed to initialize backend "pulse" Yes, it could be probably fixed in linuxolator, but as it's the only such symlink within the linux-c7 ports it should be easier to fix the port instead. I'm not sure how about the proper changes to the port, so no patch provided.home | help
