I had a go at building libao-0.6.0 and it barfed on the alsa output part, complaining that snd_pcm_channel_status_t is undeclared - probably due to me running alsa 0.9.0 beta4. So the question is, should I try and beat the configure stuff into letting me disable alsa support and just use OSS, or would I be better off trying my luck with the nightly builds? And if so, can I get away with just grabbing the latest build of libao, or will that just break everything else?

Hi: I'm almost certain Stan told me via E-mail once that there was a configure option that could be used to disable alsa (or any particular sound device). I see that it's not listed in ./configure --help however. If there aren't such switches, there should be, and if there are, they should be listed. I had a hell of a time trying to convince configure not to compile the esd driver since I didn't have ESD installed. Seems I had enough of it installed for it to think I had all of it, then the compile predictably failed. I don't know about alsa 0.9. I suspect that CVS AO doesn't work with it either, but I could be wrong. AFAIK, libao CVS should be compatibal with regular beta4 stuff, though it's not much of a stress to check it all out (it's not very big).

It doesn't. This is a bug. Please feel free to report it at http://bugs.xiph.org/ Until it gets fixed, just hack configure, or fix the code (we'd prefer the latter, of course, but you might not :-) Michael --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

The API for 0.9.0 is different than 0.5.11. I can't find any documentation on 0.9.0, so I'm assuming that it is still a moving target, whereas 0.5.x is "more stable". I'm reasonably sure that libao will compile with 0.5.11. As for being unable to disable the ALSA pluging, that *is* a bug, and I'll get working on it as soon as I finish my History of Japan test. :) --- Stan Seibert --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.
