| fsmithred | There's been a request to reorganize arm-files.devuan.org so the new stuff is up front and easier to find. And I don't see the two people I hoped to find here to discuss it. | 02:17 |
|---|---|---|
| gnarface | agneli: i did a cursory scan of the feature list of that arch install's kexec kernel, and it doesn't include audio device support, so i guess it's back to trying to find an exposed pcm device hidden somewhere in the filesystem that will react normally to alsa tools | 03:47 |
| gnarface | though i'm not sure it's even necessarily a given that it would have to have one... wouldn't it be possible for the streaming client binary to just interact with the kernel directly without even exposing such a thing on the filesystem? | 03:52 |
| gnarface | i wonder if i could automate a check of some sort... | 04:11 |
| onefang1 | A check to find all ALSA compatible sound devices, and let you choose one? That even works for blind people, by speaking through them all until you hear something. I'm part way through writing such a thing. | 04:50 |
| onefang1 | No idea how well it'll work on ARM, though it is all scripts, so should run at least. I just dunno if ALSA has even more quirks under ARM. I have one ARM device I can test on, hidden in a crate somewhere. | 04:52 |
| onefang1 | But it's Easter Saturday, I want to play games today. | 04:55 |
| gnarface | onefang1: no no, this is a particularly weird situation where /dev/snd/ is unpopulated, so i don't think it will work by the normal means | 06:10 |
| gnarface | though i have considered the possibility it could be just a few calls to mknod away from working normally, i don't know how to guess what numbers to use | 06:11 |
| onefang1 | If it's a common enough problem, and I can get my hands and ears on some test hardware, I could always add it to my script after I get the basics working. | 06:13 |
| onefang1 | But this is ARM hardware, I expect a can of worms. | 06:14 |
| gnarface | you don't happen to know of a way to query the kernel for the right mknod values by chance, do you? | 06:16 |
| gnarface | it might be wishful thinking to even expect such a thing would work, but there also doesn't appear to be any open source driver for the audio component | 06:17 |
| gnarface | so, kinda grasping at straws here already | 06:18 |
| onefang1 | My script pokes around in /proc/asound/card[0-9]* to find device details. Dunno where that fits into /dev/snd. | 06:18 |
| gnarface | hm, i have to check but i think the contents of /proc/asound were also disappointing when i looked | 06:18 |
| onefang1 | Likely that's a level above /dev/snd. | 06:19 |
| onefang1 | But as I mentioned, I planned on rebuilding farms and killing zombies, er I mean playing games this weekend. Time to get started on that. | 06:23 |
| gnarface | yea yea, no rush on this, recreation is important | 06:25 |
