Subject: esound: Please support reconnection to the sound device

Date: Fri, 24 Jun 2005 17:40:11 +0200

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: esound
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi Ryan!

esound is not capable of reconnecting to the sound device. Whenever
the sound configuration changes (e. g. change of the default device in
~/.asoundrc), esd has to be killed and restarted, which is ugly.

I wrote a patch which makes esd reconnect to the sound device on
SIGUSR1. Frontend programs like gnome-audio-properties and similar
tools can then send around a SIGUSR1 to esound servers to have them
reconnect to the sound device without interrupting esd client
connections.

This would also nice to be integrated upstream.

The patch is at

 http://patches.ubuntu.com/patches/esound_reconnect-driver.diff

Thanks for considering and have a nice day!

Martin

Wouldn't SIGHUP be a more traditional choice?  Or does esd already use
SIGHUP for something else?

Indeed SIGHUP is already used for "resetting the daemon", i. e. kill
all client connections and free all samples, but not reconnect to the
sound card. This is precisely the opposite of what I wanted. :-)

Hi!

Please don't use the patch as it is now, it does not work very well
when switching while e. g. an mp3 is playing. I tested it with esdplay
which worked perfectly, but it needs some further tweaks. I'll improve
it next week.

Thanks,

Martin

Hi Ryan!

Nevermind my previous comment, at that time I used an old instance of
esd. Switching audio devices with the current patch works perferctly
here when playing anything.

Thanks,

Martin

Changes: 
 esound (0.2.36-2) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Allow playing of everything current libaudiofile supports (closes: #318145)
   * Apply patch to wrap *64 functions, too (closes: #257146)
   * Pull several patches from Ubuntu: (closes: #343174, #315668)
   * Rebuild on hppa with fixed headers (closes: #328872)
 .
   [ Martin Pitt <martin.pitt@ubuntu.com> ]
   + esound (0.2.36-1ubuntu5) breezy; urgency=low
     * audio_alsa09.c, esd_audio_close():
     - Call snd_pcm_hw_free() before snd_pcm_close(). This closes the file
       descriptor to the sound device even if the device is not physically
       present any more.
     - This fixes the esound/hotplug deadlock when removing a currently active
       sound device.
   + esound (0.2.36-1ubuntu2) breezy; urgency=low
     * audio_alsa09.c: Disable snd_pcm_drain() call for now since it sometimes
       triggers a race condition in the ALSA kernel driver which causes the
       esd process to hang. This is not a proper bug fix, but at least makes all
       those broken Colony installations out there work again. (Ubuntu #12276)
   + esound (0.2.36-0ubuntu2) breezy; urgency=low
     * esd.c: Install signal handler for SIGUSR1 that reconnects to the ALSA
       driver. This is useful after changing the ALSA configuration file.
     * client.c: Integrate driver reconnection into client loop.
     * audio_alsa09.c, initAlsa(): Call snd_config_update_free_global() to purge
       configuration cache and to properly reload configuration files.
 .
   [ Jeff Waugh <jeff.waugh@ubuntu.com> ]
   + esound (0.2.35-2ubuntu2) hoary; urgency=low
     * esdlib.c:
       - More thorough fixage, avoid stupid breakage thanks to Paolo Borelli
         and James Henstridge.
   + esound (0.2.35-2ubuntu1) hoary; urgency=low
     * esdlib.c:
       - Do not modify host passed to esd_sound_open, because that is highly
         offensive. (Fixes GStreamer using ESPEAKER.) Thanks to Jan Schmidt
         who should take full credit for finding this bogon.
