Playing SVCD
by Arndt Stedler 15 Nov '02

Hi @all, when I try to play an SVCD using mplayer 0.90 it works fine as long as I play directly from CD. But when I copy the file avseq01.mpg on HD or mount the CD and play it just the file mplayer just plays crop. (distorted sound & video) Has anyone an idea of what parameter to use to play svcd files directly? Or do i have to convert the file in some way? (playing VCD files work fine by the way) This is my mplayer version: # MPlayer 0.90pre8-2.95.3 (C) 2000-2002 Arpad Gereoffy (see DOCS) # # CPU: Advanced Micro Devices Duron MG Morgan (Family: 6, Stepping: 1) # CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 1 SSE2: 0 # Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 3DNow 3DNowEx SSE cat /proc/version # Linux version 2.4.18-4GB (root(a)Pentium.suse.de) # (gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE)) #1 Wed Mar 27 13:57:05 UTC 2002 I am using an AMD - Duron 1000 on K7S5A Mainboard / ATI RADEON 7500 There is an AVM Fritz! ISDN installed... that's all Everything else is onboard (LAN/Sound) - Arndt

SBLive MIDI
by Gary Counsellor 01 Nov '02

01 Nov '02

Howdy, I've been using SuSE + Alsa + SBLive with Daughterboard (front midi, headphones, mic and spdif in and out) quite well for several years. I recently updated to SuSE 8.1 and was disappointed when the daughterboard no longer functioned. I was very suprised, while trying to troubleshoot the issue, to discover on alsa' web site that (quoted from website): "Known bugs - MIDI on SB live drive not working properly. - wavetable drops notes sometimes. (a good test example wanted.) The following does not work in SB Live!Platinum: - capturing the front panel RCA connectors - front panel midi connectors" How long have these not worked? Did they ever work at sometime? They always worked for me (except for the spdif connectors, which I've never gotten around to testing). I could have been living in ignorant bliss (highly underated). Will they start working again? when? and What's the major malfunction? If there is anything I can do to help please let me know. -- Gary Counsellor gary(a)musician2000.com MuseProductions "The world is much more complicated than most of our theories make it out to be"

KOnCD 1.0r2 crashes when writing master CD in SuSE8.0 with Yamaha CRW3200E CD-R
by Larry Johnson KISE 31 Oct '02

31 Oct '02

Hi all...... I am a bit frustrated at this. Would appreciate a little help. I use Linux on servers, but this is my first attempt to use it as a desktop. Would really like an alternative to Windows...... On every attempt to write a data CD, KOnCD immediately crashes and the KDE crash manager opens. I have applied the fix offered in http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/tbraza_ide_brenner.html and the result has been the same. I have done the fix offered in http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/81_ide-scsi.html and it solved the problem of the DVD and CD-R not mounting, but not the crash on write. I have all updates from SuSE. I have checked the KDE KOnCD bug list and found over a dozen bug reports on the same issue, all from SuSE rpm's, but no resolution. I have searched this mailing list and found no help. Notes: The Yamaha CRW3200E SCSI CD-R and SONY CD-ROM CDU5211 SCSI are on a Promise IDE-66 controller card. The Pioneer DVD-ROM DVD-105 is on a motherboard (ECS K7VZA) IDE controller. There seems to be no problem reading from these drives, except that the DVD-ROM will not read the SuSE 8.0 Installation DVD (A known, unresolved issue).

rec command
by George Johnson 22 Oct '02

22 Oct '02

I was able to record from a cassette tape player to the aux in on my soundblaster card to a .wav file. I was using the gmix mixer to allow the sound into my computer then I was using the rec command in a terminal window to actually perform the recording. I was doing this from SuSE 7.3. I upgraded to 8.0 and can no longer record as the command just times out and returns to the prompt. I test the file created and there is no sound. Usually these recordings are 30 to 45 minutes long and I have to hit <ctrl> C to stop recording. What happened here? How can I correct the problem? Is the rec command no longer any good in this version or do I need to download another more recent copy of it? George Johnson
