What webcam for Linux?
by suse＠karsites.net 18 Nov '04

18 Nov '04

Hi all. I'm running SuSE 8.1 pro and would like to get a webcam. Can anyone recommend a webcam that will work under SuSE 8.1 pro, and that will continue to work when I upgrade to 9.2 pro or higher releases? Logitech may work with SuSE 8.1 and the pcw/pcwx driver. There seems to be a problem with this driver being a part of the kernel. Please see http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/ for the related discussiom. Will SuSE be producing a custom kernel to continue supporting the pwcx driver as a binary module? Kind Regards - Keith Roberts http://www.karsites.net/

Re: [suse-multimedia-e] Editing mp3 files
by Eric Seynaeve 17 Nov '04

Thanks for your answer. However, I have the feeling that using Audacity (which is indeed a good program) will lead to re-encoding of the mp3 file. So that will give following conversions: mp3 -> wav - editing - wav -> mp3. I fear that will decrease the overall quality of the songs, that's why I'm looking for a program to do direct cuts in mp3.

Editing mp3 files
by Eric Seynaeve 17 Nov '04

17 Nov '04

Hey all, I have put all my CDs in mp3 format on my harddisk. However, for a couple of songs, there are long (10+minutes) pauses in the song. For some others, there seems to have been a problem regarding the timestamps on the CD so the songs are shifted (part in one mp3, other part in another mp3). Is there an application that can directly edit the mp3 files so I won't have to recode the songs? With editing, I mean simply cutting the files on between frames and glueing pieces back together.

i updated my kernel to 2.6.8-24.3-default with YOU online-update. now esd starts after booting. i can play music with xmms, watch tv with kdetv (video4linux) and i have sound events in gnome. but the quality of the sound is bader than before: i am using now snd-intel8x0. so will try to reinstall the nvsound-module. but i think that esd has problems with oss-modules. does anybody use esc with oss-modules? regards philipp Am Montag, den 15.11.2004, 07:09 +1000 schrieb daniel: > This looks as if the sound device that /dev/dsp is linked too may be > wrong... > > Try this: > > log in as root.. > > cd /dev > mv dsp dspbak > ln -s dsp0 dsp > > if that doesn't word try: > > rm dsp > ln -s dsp1 dsp > > also.. if this doesn't help, there is a chance the symlink is being > created by modutils.. > > check /etc/modules.conf and make sure there is no post-install command > for sound/alsa/etc... > > Then try making that first symlink again.. > > Regards, > > Daniel > > On Fri, 2004-11-12 at 10:51 +0100, philipp sutter wrote: > > esd > > ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1172:(snd_pcm_hw_open) open /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p failed: > > No such device > > > > and dmesg: > > nvsound: unsupported module, tainting kernel. > > Nvsound: Nvidia Audio Init Module, 21:53:19 Nov 8 2004 version 1.0-1 > > ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:05.0[A] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 > > PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:05.0 to 64 > > Nvsound: NVIDIA nForce2 Controller found at Mem 0xda000000 and IRQ b > > ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:06.0[A] -> GSI 5 (level, low) -> IRQ 5 > > PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:06.0 to 64 > > Nvsound: NVIDIA nForce2 Audio found at IO 0xd000 and 0xe400, IRQ 5 > > Nvsound: Aci_device cdf8c800 Apu_device cdf8cc00 > > Nvsound: DEV MIXER 0 DEV AUDIO 3 > > ALSA sound/core/oss/mixer_oss.c:1270: unable to register OSS mixer > > device 0:0 > > > > i do not really understand what happens here. > > > > > > > > Am Freitag, den 12.11.2004, 08:59 +1000 schrieb daniel: > > > Hi Phillip, > > > > > > I definitely don't recommend running it from init.d.. > > > > > > To check why it doesn't run try running it from a terminal: > > > > > > esd > > > > > > see if any error messages are printed. > > > > > > If it fails to run because it can't open the device then try running > > > > > > lsof /dev/dsp > > > > > > This will tell you which programs are blocking the sound device.. > > > > > > Daniel > > > > > > On Thu, 2004-11-11 at 23:41 +0100, philipp sutter wrote: > > > > esound does not run. i tried to start it by /etc/init.d/esound start. it > > > > failed: > > > > > > > > my /etc/esd.conf > > > > > > > > [esd] > > > > auto_spawn=1 > > > > spawn_options= -noterminate -tcp -nobeeps -as 2 -d default > > > > > > > > how can i check why esd failed? > > > > any hints? > > > > > > > > thank you! > > > > philipp > > > > > > > > > > > > Am Donnerstag, den 11.11.2004, 09:16 +1000 schrieb daniel: > > > > > Also check that esd is running from the terminal (ps ax | grep esd) > > > > > > > > > > Daniel > > > > > > > > > > On Wed, 2004-11-10 at 23:35 +0100, philipp sutter wrote: > > > > > > no, it does not help :( > > > > > > > > > > > > i have in gstreamer-properties for audio default Sink: OSS and default > > > > > > Source OSS allread selected. > > > > > > > > > > > > when i go to prefences:///Personal audio and test the sound events, i > > > > > > can't hear anything. but when i start xmms i can listen to music and i > > > > > > can watch tv with sound. > > > > > > > > > > > > why i dont have any sound events in gnome?

xine dvd support 9.1
by Alvin Smith 14 Nov '04

14 Nov '04

It appear that there is no support for playing DVDs in 9.1. Is there a site that I can add to Yast's installation sources that will allow me to update Xine with the proper support for DVDs? Or, is there a similar site that will allow me to install MPlayer for SuSE 9.1? Thank you.
