When I want to play a flac-file, I've used always Audacious on my slackware64 13.0-pc because xmms doesn't work with that filetype.
Now I've installed slackware 13.1 on an 2nd pc and there I can play flac-files in xmms.
What do I have to do to enable xmms on my slackware64 13,0-pc to play there flac-files with xmms also?
How to install XMMS from source with the Flac plugin. It was originally based on howto's from blogs. I have tested this on Karmic Koala and it should work fine.
We will start off with XMMS. We'll take the plugin later..
First you need to update your packages list

I`m using Fedora 11. I just bought a Creative Audigy Soundblaster sound card. It is recognized by the system, but I can`t make it play sound on all channels in xmms or mplayer. The alsa test confirms that all channels are working - I can hear sound from all of them. I have read several posts in other forums about modifying my ./asoundrc, but they just don`t seem to work.

View 3 Replies View RelatedLooks like k3b is hanging after finishing ripping an audio cd to flac.
Doing a "ps -ef |grep flac" shows that the external flac child-process it invokes has ended.
This was working prior to BETA1, though I'm not sure if it was the k3b updates in BETA1 or anything subsequent that broke it.
update:
Found a similar report on Ubuntu forums for 10.04 but using the lame encoder. As k3b used the 'external encoder plugin" for both lame and flac it looks like the same issue and it's clearly not slackware specific.

first of all: I am not sure, if this is the right forum, as I don't know, if it is Slackware-relatedm, or if it is a general thing affecting other distros with KDE, as well. If the latter is the case, please let me know, where to post this (Linux Software or Linux Desktop forum?). BTW, I am on Slackware64-13.1 (stable). Currently, I am trying to copy all my music CDs on a harddisk. I thought, this would be a very simple thing to do, but whatever I do I run into another issue.

I know this can be a touchy subject but I would like to find MP3 support for K3b & Xmms, I am a big fan of the Banshee music player and have used it with MP3 support provided by FLUENDO [url] in many Linux distro's. I can play mp3s in Banshee thanks to FLUENDO, however when I open k3d or Xmms I am presented with an opening message that an mp3 plug-in for those apps cannot be found. Can anyone suggest any packages that will enable mp3 support in these applications?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI use Slackware full-time on my personal machine, a Lenovo T61, and I've used Slackware happily for the past 15 years. I've always been able to find answers to my questions by searching, but this time I'm stumped and find myself posting my first question ever to a help site. Recently installed Slackware 13.0 out of the box, which has KDE 4.2.4. I've added myself as a regular user, and made sure I'm a member of the audio and cdrom groups. I've configured sound with alsaconf and alsamixer, and sound works fine when playing digital files (audio and video). I can mount data CDs and DVDs, and read them with Dolphin. When I insert an audio CD, I can't get any application to see it, except for the "Last plugged in device" widget, which only gives me K3B as an option to rip the CD - no option to play the CD. If I allow K3B to launch, that application can see the tracks. KDE 4 does not have good support for playing audio CDs. I've seen various suggestions for fixes that relate to udev, HAL and adding actions. I'm out of my league here, as I'm a casual user, not one who can dive into these details. My guess is that udev is OK because K3B can see the audio CD. When I look at /usr/share/apps/solid/actions, I see the following:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2871 2009-03-26 07:42 test-predicate-openinwindow.desktop

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 861 2009-04-02 23:16 k3b_create_data_project_from_blank_medium.desktop
[code]...
There are no actions that appear to relate to start playing a CD, so I think this is where the problem lies, but I'm not sure, and if it is, I don't know how to fix it. Things have gotten a lot more complicated over the years...Playing an audio CD should be a simple task, and I'm embarrassed that it's taking so long to debug this problem.
I'm a Linux User since 2007. Later, i was an Ubuntu Fanatic User. But my computer is old, and Ubuntu is more slow in every version.

How I install XMMS on Debian Squeeze???
I've recently upgraded to Fedora 15 after a failed Fedora 11-12 upgrade (luckily all my data is on a seperate drive!) and have been re-installing all the applications i had before. One strange problem i've come across is with XMMS. When it gets to the end of a song it wont move onto the next one. I've tried checking and unchecking the 'No Playlist Advance' option and it has made no difference. I tried changing the output from ALSA to OSS but that didn't even play the tracks so i switched back.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using xmms to play mp3 files from machine. Whenever I play a file, the first second or two of the file start very loud and then goes down to a steady volume. I am using alsamixer as the volume controller with software volume control (although switching to wave doesn't make any difference).
My sound card is Soundblaster Audigy 4. I had the same card on my old system and I can't remember it doing it on that so I am assuming it's a software issue... Audacious works fine but I prefer xmms as the equalizer refuses to "stick" to the main window in audacious!!
I recently upgraded to slackware 13, and I discovered that the only things I can do audio wise is play audio CD's and adjust mixer volumes. I have a DELL C600 with a Maestro 3i soundcard. I am able to use the laptops advanced volume controls and I even played with the builtin KDE4 mixer over and over again. I have also unloaded and reloaded drivers. Is there a step I am missing? I even tried to test a wave file with "aplay", and that program locks up until I hit ctrl+c.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI just reinstalled slackware on my computer so that I could have the 64 bit version and take advantage of all the ram in this machine. Anyway I did a brand new install Slackware64 13.1 from the dvd. I omitted the KDE packages and instead installed Gnome via the GSB project. After all that installed with seemingly no problem I opened up Rhythmbox and imported all my music, but it won't play any of my m4a files. A little research showed that installing gst-plugins-bad would solve this. So I downloaded it and built it from source, no problems in the configuring it or making it. But the problem persists. Here's a list from slapt-get search for gst showing the gstreamer packages that are installed...
gst-ffmpeg-0.10.10-x86_64-2gsb [inst=yes]: gst-ffmpeg (GStreamer "ffmpeg" Plugins)
gst-plugins-bad-0.10.19-x86_64-1_SBo [inst=yes]: gst-plugins-bad (a set GStreamer plugins)
gst-plugins-base-0.10.29-x86_64-1 [inst=yes]: gst-plugins-base (base set of GStreamer plugins)
gst-plugins-good-0.10.22-x86_64-1 [inst=yes]: gst-plugins-good (good set of GStreamer plugins)

Has anyone gotten Songbird to play m4a files in Slackware? Is so, 'fess up! Songbird forums say this is possible in Linux with the right codec yet most in the forums, including me, fail. (There's also a plugin that doesn't work in linux.) All my other players handle m4a fine in Slackware 13, so I know I've got the proper codec.

I set all levels in the mixer in the 'green' area. I even rebooted (which I didn't expect to be necessary anyway). When I play a video, no sound. When I play an mp3 file I get a Couldn't-open-audio pop up message: Please check that soundcard is properly configured, proper plugin, no other program blocking the soundcard.
I have squeeze installed but streamtuner closes every time I want to play a stream. Even when I change from xmms to audacious2 the later does not stay, it changes back to xmms.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to know how I can play a midi file in Slackware command line. I write "aplaymidi -p (port number) file.mid" and I see that it is working, but I can't hear anything. As I have Windows XP in a computer and Windows 7 in another, I have to convert the midi files into wave files in order to listen to them in Slackware using play. There is another thing that I haven't ever been able to do in spite of the fact that I have had Slackware installed in my computers since 2002, and this thing is: I have never been able to connect Internet using Slackware or any other Linux distribuition. I like Linux very much but I am frustrated at not being able to do these two things: to play a midi file in Slackware and to connect Internet.
