Quoting asu (asu@marian1000.go.ro):
Just simple scenario i add asterisk user on group audio and asu user on
group audio result is bad
here is result of lsoff:
root@marian1000:/home/asu# lsof /dev/snd/*
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
pulseaudi 961 asterisk mem CHR 116,4 9689 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c
pulseaudi 961 asterisk mem CHR 116,3 9688 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p
pulseaudi 961 asterisk 15u CHR 116,2 0t0 9684 /dev/snd/controlC0
pulseaudi 961 asterisk 20u CHR 116,2 0t0 9684 /dev/snd/controlC0
pulseaudi 961 asterisk 21u CHR 116,3 0t0 9688 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p
pulseaudi 961 asterisk 22u CHR 116,2 0t0 9684 /dev/snd/controlC0
pulseaudi 961 asterisk 27u CHR 116,2 0t0 9684 /dev/snd/controlC0
pulseaudi 961 asterisk 32u CHR 116,4 0t0 9689 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c
On my user asu pulseaudio have acces only on Dummy card .
Second on my audio application audacious set to use output to alsa
(assumed that pulseaudio is down)
same issue audacious take control of audio device and is no room for
pulseaudio.
So, what I understand is that this "audacious" thing shoulnd't take
control of the audio device, which it does because your user is member
of the audio group.
But, then, why launching audocious, then? That may sound like a silly
question, but, to my understanding, this is where the problem lies, am
I wrong?
