Hi all

I have tried several versions of alsaplayer including building from source code and
the latest version from extrs/xap.  They work very well except for playing CD audios.
When the play list of a CD audio gets finished playing the last song the computer
freezes up.

Anyone know of a fix for this problem?  I really like alsaplayer except for this hangup.

Thanks and keep up the good work for Zenwalk

NORM

bug confirmed here.
it freezes up exactly as NORM described...

by the way, i cannot believe i didn't put alsaplayer in the companion. was this program even tested and fifo-ed by the normal procedure?

i like the program, but this freeze up is a big problem and needed to be checked and taken off from the repo if necessary, i think.

best wishes

Not sure if the build we have just gotten is the the latest 0.99.80rc4 or not and I know there is nothing in the changelog mentioning this bug, so I'll assume it's not fixed yet.  The latest build for Zenwalk is 0.99.79.99 and I too can confirm the system lockup bug!  I did go ahead and contact the developer about the problem, so will hopefully get an answer back soon, which I'll try to remember to relay.  I thought maybe it might be associated to flac, since on their site is mention of flac 1.3 & 1.4 support added at 0.99.78 release.  Thing is, after doing some searching on the flac site, the latest version there is 1.2.1, so no mention of anything later.

I too like alsaplayer especially for streaming & CDs, but this is certainly a showstopper!

Thanks


Yes, it is.
I must admit that my ChangeLog only said rc4 ...


This soft was on the ISO, then, moved on [extra]


I don't think so.
How can users can use/test this program, report bugs and make it better if they can't use it, and, remember, it's only a RC.

yeah, but not on the repo. you can move it to the testing or to the experimental section if it is really bad... that's what i mean. treat him like a normal "extra" package. hehehe  (i don't want to see any more victim of this freeze up)!!

As you can see, Zenwalk is in the list, so, I will not removed it :

This bug sems to only affect CD audio, so, it's not so bad.


I do.

For the bug report (as I didn't see one on the alsaplayer ML  )
Do you have to listen to the entire audio CD ?
I have tried, I have listened the last audio CD song but no freeze at the end.

here is what i did.
1) start up
2) choose CD
3) open up its play list
4) jumped to near the end of the track
5) listen to the end
6) 

hmm... so it's ok on your box.

by the way, whoever made this package really do need to give better slackdesc... (ok... true not many people read this stuff...) i read its description and  ... just a cut and paste of the first line from its homepage. haha

I've got it, I have listened the full song, and yes, at the last second, the system freezes.
I will do the report.

I wonder who is this lazy man.

I've no problems playing audio cd's (fresh installed 4.6, upgraded to 4.8 )
- at least with my custom build kernel:  2.6.23.1-rt1 #1 SMP PREEMPT RT
edit:
Just checked with the standard kernel:  2.6.22.9 - no problems at all!

The 1st way was to follow the RT kernel, because, the dev, who has one, don't have this trouble with audioCD.
Now, if you said that you haven't got this bug with the standard kernel, .... 

Hardware related ??

Can someone run 'strace -p alsaplayer-pid -v -o alsaplayer.log'  and make the log available?
Or, better yet - a debug-enabled/unstripped build with an gdb backtrace

Here is a --enable-debug and unstripped build :
http://fred.linuxish.net/repo/alsaplaye ... _debug.tgz
http://fred.linuxish.net/repo/alsaplaye ... _debug.md5

But, as the system freezes, no luck to run "bt".
