[opensuse] Sound in OpenSUSE 12.1
Just installed OpenSUSE 12.1 and the first stumbling block the sound. I have a couple of programs requiring the /dev file mixer and dsp. Both of these are missing from the system. Is there a configuration file to create these audio dev files.

Run your program through padsp, this will set up the /dev/dsp... for your program. on a command line padsp <program> <arguments> A -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks! I just had a similar problem, and padsp almost solved the problem: In my case it was an old 32bit game, and I do have a 64bit system. Now padsp doesn't do much more than LD_PRELOADing libpulsedsp.so Just that there is no 32bit version of libpulsedsp.so in the libpulse0-32bit package (or anywhere else). I had to manually fetch the i586 pulseaudio package, extract the lib and place it in /usr/lib/ After that, the game ran with sound using padsp This wouldn't be so annoying if this were not an error that is present since (at least) OS 11.1 (that was what one of the google hits talked about). From the bug list I conclude that the bug is reported every new OS release, pushed to the PA maintainer - and obviously ignored!? Isn't this what a distribution should take care of? At least if they decide to have this package installed and used by default? -- Dr. Peter "Pit" Suetterlin http://www.astro.su.se/~pit Institute for Solar Physics Tel.: +34 922 405 590 (Spain) P.Suetterlin@royac.iac.es +46 8 5537 8507 (Sweden) Peter.Suetterlin@astro.su.se -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
