To play XMMS with libmad you need to get the xmms-mad port The main thing that solved the problem was turning up the buffers for all output codecs in XMMS. It also helped to go to the KDE sound system and raise that sound buffer and enable high priority. I still can't play MIDI files though but I'll make a new e-mail about that to avoid confusion As a side note libmad does have a little bit of stuttering and it seems the buffer was the issue with libmpg123 --- John Do <pcbsdguy@yahoo.ca> wrote: > So does anyone have any ideas about how to enable my > soundcard to play MIDI sounds and fix the XMMS > stuttering issue? > > Your help is welcomed and appreciated don't be > shy....thanks :) > > --- John Do <pcbsdguy@yahoo.ca> wrote: > > > I even copied libmad.so into > > /usr/X11R6/lib/xmms/Input > > > > where all the other XMMS Input modules are and > with > > a > > restart it still doesn't show :( > > > > > > --- John Do <pcbsdguy@yahoo.ca> wrote: > > > > > Does anyone know how to load and configure > another > > > MP3 > > > player instead of lib123.so in XMMS? > > > > > > I have libmad and others installed but I have no > > > other > > > options for MP3 playing other than lib123 > > > > > > I still can't figure out how to enable MIDI > sounds > > > for > > > my soundcard > > > > > > > > > --- John Do <pcbsdguy@yahoo.ca> wrote: > > > > > > > The plugin makes sense.....I think it is the > > MP123 > > > > plugin that I'm using and the other players > that > > > > don't > > > > skip must be using some other plugin > > > > > > > > I'll try to install and use libMAD like you > > > > recommend > > > > > > > > Thanks > > > > --- Garrett Cooper <youshi10@u.washington.edu> > > > > wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > On Sep 18, 2005, at 5:18 PM, John Do wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > Does anyone know why the sound skips and > > often > > > > > > stutters in XMMS? > > > > > > > > > > > > I don't seem to have this problem in other > > > > random > > > > > > media players in FreeBSD. > > > > > > > > > > > > I'm also wondering why it won't show MIDI > > > > support > > > > > even > > > > > > though it is detected for PCM sound.
