Hi, I'm a new asterisk user developing an AGI application. As part of my application I'd like to play sounds on the server's speakers, but it seems that I can't do this while asterisk is running. When I try to play sounds using the play or aplay command, it blocks until I stop asterisk. My guess is that asterisk is using the sound device and this means that other programs

I am looking to losslessly archive a lot of music and share it over a network. The following stipulations lead me to an interesting conclusion: 1. Almost no programs can read or write flac files directly. 2. Almost all programs can read and write wav files directly. 3. The cost of encoding flac files is fairly low 4. The cost of decoding them is even lower 5. These files would be read much more

...This would probably go in the FLAC library, and make it trivial to add FLAC support to many WAV-supporting programs (those which don't use mmap). If you wanted transparency, you would write a shared library which would override open(), and perhaps read(), etc. and do its magic there. fakeroot, esddsp, and dmalloc are examples of how this is done. However, in this case, you'd want to name all of your FLAC files with a .wav extension so that the programs in question would open them. The right thing to do is to add FLAC support to these programs, and the above technique might make that easier...

If I run firefox then everything is fine... until I hit a page with flash and sound on it (youtube, some other stuff). Then it sems to lock the sound device and no other programs (eg Pidgin) can make sounds. In previous versions of firefox (firefox 2? Can't remember) I could run it under esddsp and then firefox/Flash played nicely with others. However now firefox just doesn't start up. FWIW, I don't use Gnome or KDE as a window manager; that _shouldn't_ cause any impact. Any ideas? -- rgds Stephen

Hi, I was trying the wine esound output plugin but the sound is really choppy. On IRC it was noted that only the OSS output worked properly and that esound implementation was quite crappy. However I really need esound output since we use an LTSP setup. The sound if only available through esd. Are there any possibilities to further tweak the esound settings? The software in question is windows

Hi! I've tried to play Diablo (1) under wine. Setup worked, X switches to 640x480 and the title screen appears, but then all I get is a black screen.
