ALSA and esound

[Spauldo da Hippie <spauldo geocities com>]

I've lost a lot of my mail, so I can't go back through and see if this was
mentioned on the list.

I'm running ALSA 0.5.5 (libs, driver, and utils).  It don't seem to work
for me, but that's not your problem.  It does compile and install just
fine.

The problem I run into is that esound doesn't seem to work with ALSA
whatsoever.  I get the following when trying to compile it:

----------------------------------------------

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I/opt/gnome/include
-DSYSCONFDIR=\"/usr/local/etc\" -g -O2 -c  -fPIC -DPIC audio.c -o
.libs/audio.lo
audio_alsa.c: In function `esd_audio_open':
In file included from audio.c:25:
audio_alsa.c:54: `snd_pcm_playback_params_t' undeclared (first use in this
function)
audio_alsa.c:54: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
audio_alsa.c:54: for each function it appears in.)
audio_alsa.c:54: parse error before `params'
audio_alsa.c:88: warning: passing arg 1 of `snd_ctl_open' from
incompatible pointer type
audio_alsa.c:114: warning: passing arg 1 of `snd_pcm_open' from
incompatible pointer type
audio_alsa.c:148: structure has no member named `channels'
audio_alsa.c:168: `params' undeclared (first use in this function)
audio_alsa.c:186: structure has no member named `channels'
audio_alsa.c:191: too few arguments to function `snd_pcm_file_descriptor'
make: *** [audio.lo] Error 1

---------------------------------------------

Anyway, seems like it can't find snd_pcm_playback_params_t, except in the
alsa lib test directory, which doesn't seem to get compiled anyway.  I
can't seem to find any reference to this particular type.

Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem.  I'm going to keep
screwing with it and see if I can get it to do anything.
