Bug#300156: libarts1: system notifications don't play in arts with "ALSA lib seq_hw.c" error
Package: libarts1
Version: 1.3.2-2
Severity: normal
Using kde 3.3.2-1, after a dist-upgrade in unstable (pure64 AMD64 port),
so sorry I can't track it down to a particular package change, the
following sound bug appeared.
Sound notifications stopped working. On starting kcontrol to
investigate:
Selecting the sound system tab sends this message to stderr:
ALSA lib seq_hw.c:446:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No
such file or directory
handle==0
The "Test Sound" button in kcontrol works, with the following stderr
messages:
server status: busy
real-time status: not started through real-time wrapper
server buffer time: 341.333 ms
buffer size multiplier: 1
minimum stream buffer time: 341.333 ms
auto suspend time: 60 s
audio method: oss
sampling rate: 48000
channels: 2
sample size: 16 bits
duplex: half
device: /dev/dsp
fragments: 16
fragment size: 4096
Change to the system notifications tab
play a sound doesn't work (for ogg or wav - I checked
/usr/share/sounds/KDE_Beep_Ahem.wav
/usr/share/sounds/KDE_Beep_Car.ogg
If I change the action from "play a sound" to "execute a program" and
ask it to execute
/usr/bin/artsplay /usr/share/sounds/KDE_Beep_Ahem.wav
it works fine (so maybe I have filed against the wrong package)
Hope this is enough info ...
