Last modified: 2014-03-16 22:22:45 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i586) Description of problem: mpg123 (v 0.59q) has some problem when used concurrently with an X environment with audio enabled. The previous version (from the package mpg123) had no such problem, but it didn't use the libao package either. This new version doesn't display mp3 tags either when playing a .mp3 file. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start enlightenment 2. enable sound or produce an event which generates a sound 3. start mpg123 4. starting it again will make it work, but now enlightenment will be stripped of sounds Actual Results: Directory: ./ Playing MPEG stream from 01-APOCALYPTICA-Path.mp3 ... MPEG 1.0 layer III, 192 kbit/s, 44100 Hz stereo Error opening libao oss driver. Expected Results: The previous version was able to play music concurrently with the X sounds. The previous version displayed mp3 tags. Additional info:
This is because esd has the sound driver open. The next version of mpg321 (0.2.0) will enable compile-time default sound drivers; I suggest Red Hat uses --with-default-audio=esd when configuring mpg321 0.2.0.
mpg321 0.2.0 is now released.
0.2.3 will be in the next rawhide, with the configure change mentioned - thanks!
