| 00:02.37 | philv | I'm having some ALSA troubles with my iBook... anybody able to help out? |
| 00:02.53 | grivell | heya |
| 00:02.56 | philv | Howdy! |
| 00:03.00 | grivell | God I hate #debian! |
| 00:03.02 | philv | Hahah |
| 00:03.08 | philv | They're all a bunch of angry trolls. |
| 00:03.09 | grivell | Bunch of pompous assholes. |
| 00:03.21 | philv | That's why I prefer to stay around the port-specific channels :) |
| 00:03.42 | grivell | A couple are telling me to learn dutch, blah. I live in an english speaking country. Why would I? |
| 00:03.49 | grivell | hehe |
| 00:04.01 | philv | grivell, with your iBook, do you have any problems with ALSA, namely devices locking it? I can't have ESD and any gstreamer apps open at the same time :( |
| 00:04.04 | philv | Haha |
| 00:04.15 | philv | Why are they telling you to learn dutch? That's pretty stupid considering your situation. |
| 00:06.03 | grivell | hehe. I don't know. Well. I'll help with ALSA. |
| 00:06.15 | grivell | Just got USB 802.11b working :) |
| 00:06.22 | philv | Sweet! |
| 00:06.47 | grivell | Was a little tough since Debian didn't have the wlan-modules. |
| 00:06.56 | philv | So, I pretty much used your config for the kernel... with a couple of tweaks for Suspend to RAM |
| 00:07.01 | grivell | Had to go to homepage, download, compile, blah :) |
| 00:07.04 | philv | :( |
| 00:07.11 | philv | It's not in Unstable or Testing? |
| 00:07.20 | grivell | Nah. Might be for x86. |
| 00:07.24 | grivell | But not ppc. |
| 00:07.31 | philv | damn... that's a PITA. |
| 00:07.46 | philv | What make/model of USB 802.11b unit is it? |
| 00:07.46 | grivell | I'm taking this convo outside, I need a smoke hehe. Love having wireless back again! |
| 00:07.53 | philv | Hehehe |
| 00:08.09 | philv | Yeah, that certainly is sweet to have. |
| 00:08.35 | philv | I don't have a wireless router right now (stupid being a poor student :() so I have to contend with copper wires everywhere |
| 00:08.50 | grivell | ok we are outside.... Feel the cold? :( |
| 00:08.54 | philv | :( |
| 00:09.00 | philv | I feel it ;) |
| 00:10.28 | grivell | Well. Whats wrong with ALSA sound? |
| 00:10.41 | philv | Well, it seems that /dev/dsp is getting locked by esd in GNOME. |
| 00:10.56 | philv | And programs like JuK/RhythmBox don't like that |
| 00:10.59 | grivell | You need dmix. |
| 00:11.00 | philv | And as such, don't play. |
| 00:11.02 | philv | dmix? |
| 00:11.24 | grivell | @fgi philv alsa+dmix |
| 00:11.24 | ravenbird | philv: http://fuckinggoogleit.com/search?query=alsa+dmix |
| 00:11.29 | grivell | muhaha sorry had to ;) |
| 00:11.36 | philv | Hehe |
| 00:12.13 | grivell | d-link 122 I think |
| 00:12.19 | grivell | 1 sec... (reading past) |
| 00:14.23 | grivell | Yeah D-Link DWL-122 is product code. Like $35 on Amazon. Probably cheaper elsewhere. |
| 00:15.11 | grivell | You there? |
| 00:15.23 | philv | Yup |
| 00:15.34 | philv | Sorry, I'm figuring out dmix |
| 00:16.11 | grivell | I use an SB Extigy when I'm indoors. Very nice sound quality. But outdoors is the powermac soundcard. It's kinda bad. |
| 00:16.30 | grivell | hehe :) |
| 00:16.37 | philv | The Extigy is awesome. |
| 00:16.51 | philv | The Audigy2's on PCs are also awesome, IMO, and I know I'll get flamed for saying that :) |
| 00:17.30 | grivell | Never config'd dmix ;) I talk a big game though hehe. As I said, I need motivation. I think they want you to config ESD to use ALSA I believe. |
| 00:18.01 | philv | If I could figure out how to, I would :) |

| 00:19.06 | grivell | What did you do (besides 4X AGP) to get sleep working? :) |
| 00:20.13 | philv | Hrmm... I had to have a non-preemptible kernel, and I had to patch the sources with BenH's latest patches for iBook sleep |
| 00:20.20 | philv | That was it, actually. |
| 00:20.27 | philv | The AGPMode 4 was the key |

| 00:22.13 | grivell | And how you sleep? |
| 00:24.52 | philv | Hehe |
| 00:24.57 | philv | Close the lid :) |
| 00:25.09 | philv | Or on my back, depending on my mood ;) |
| 00:26.30 | grivell | muhaha :) I knew I worded that wrong. |
| 00:27.01 | grivell | Cool, I thought it would involve echo sleep > something |
