Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 199960
alsa plugin configure tries to list also mixers for input only cards. (attachement contains possible fix)
Last modified: 2008-05-06 12:09:51 EDT
Description of problem: FC5 with audio card and webcam ( Logitech QuickCam Comunicate STX) . Logitech QuickCam Comunicate STX has only microphone device and provide a mixer for recording volume control. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm -qa | grep xmms xmms-libs-1.2.10-25.fc5 xmms-1.2.10-25.fc5 uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.17-1.2157_FC5 #1 Tue Jul 11 22:55:46 EDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux How reproducible: Logitech QuickCam Comunicate STX in a FC5 pc. It reproduces always. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Logitech QuickCam Comunicate STX installed in system 2. Context menu of xmms 3. Options->preferences -> Audio I/O Plugins tab 4. Select alsa plugin ( libALSA.so ) 5. Click "Configure Button" 6. Mixer Card listbox contains "USB Device 0x46d:0x8ad" which is an input only device Actual results: I get the USB device included in "Mixer Card", and when selected the list of mixer devices does not become empty. It has items from previous mixer card. Expected results: Because Logitech QuickCam Comunicate STX provides only an input mixer it shall be excluded from the list. Additional info: I have atached an archive with a possible fix. it contains original file from Output/alsa/configure.c fixed file and diff. The main idea for fix is that function static int get_cards(GtkOptionMenu *omenu, GtkSignalFunc cb, int active) shall filter out the cards that have no output mixer.

xmms is in Fedora Extras since FC4, moving/reassinging.
This ocurs as well for fc6 ( fc6 extras ) , seems no change in about 6 months , and there is a possible fix ! hmmm amybody there ?
It seems fine in Rawhide. I'm pushing a fixed version for rawhide tonight and if it's happy, put into FC6 next week.
