Description Guillaume Zin 2009-01-17 09:54:56 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Hello,

I added a script to install the alsa raop pcm driver at boot. It permits to send sound output to a AirTunes compatible device. The driver shows up with "aplay -l" and works with mplayer for instance, but doesn't appear in Phonon, so I can't send the Amarok sound output to AirTunes. Any idea on how to do this ?

To reproduce : download and compile raop_play and the alsa driver (http://raop-play.sourceforge.net). Install the driver for instance from the "rc.local" file.

Please also attach the output of 'lshal'. I suspect HAL fails to list the device properly...

Comment 5 Guillaume Zin 2009-01-18 18:49:27 UTC

Hello,

hal doesn't detect the raoppcm alsa driver because it doesn't register to any bus and hal wants alsa drivers with a parent bus. If I modify the driver to register to the platform bus, hal and then Phonon can see the driver. I will see with raoppcm author to add my patch.

Thank you.

Best regards.
