I have a SB32 (the non-AWE card), a Tyan Amancio Hasty: |Have you try to play back mpeg sound streams with mpg123 or mpeg |movies with "mtv"? Kyle Mestery: |Well, I just got mpg123 and I am happily playing mp3 files with no |problems! The only thing that happens is occasionally the mp123 program |will stop playing a file, and not exit but just sit there, but I suspect |this is a problem with mpg123. I am using mpg123 v0.59f. Thanks! Hey Kyle, glad to hear you also have a SB32. With two of us beating on it, hopefully we can get it into shape for our cards. FWIW after uncommenting the SB/SB16 support with guspnp7, I was having these problems with the driver on the SB32: - system freezes when breaking out of a /dev/dsp play app, - not getting any sound with mtv, - occasionally seeing the close of the device hang for a few seconds after a play, which you mentioned, and - recording fails (interrupted system call on read() if I remember) If you get a minute, could you pull mtv (www.mpegtv.com -- it's a Linux MPEG player) and try it on an MPEG system (audio+video) stream. There's a ton at http://www.mpeg.org/MPEG/bitstreams.html under MPEG System Streams. Also I (and Amancio too I'm sure) would be interested as to whether you can lock up your system breaking out of play apps. As I recall, I was using mpg123 on an MPEG L2 or L3 audio file, let it play for a sec and then Ctrl-C -- didn't take but a few to freeze my box. I'll also pull guspnp8 soon and retest with it. Randall
