Bug Description
Binary package hint: libasound2-dev
Install libasound2-dev and libasound2-plugins. Note that the previous ubuntu release removed the alsa jack plugin from the libasound2-plugins package without replacement. It was nonetheless still possible to build it from the corresponding alsa-plugins source tarball and then simply copy it to /usr/lib/
Sadly with the gutsy betas even this isn't an option anymore. While it is still possible to build the alsa-plugins-1.0.14 tarball against the 1.0.14 ubuntu libasound2-dev package, the jack plugin simpy doesn't work anymore.
Here's a testcase for you guys:
start jackd [if realtime or not doesn't matter]
add this to your .asoundrc:
pcm.jack {
type jack
playback_ports {
0 alsa_pcm:playback_1
1 alsa_pcm:playback_2
}
capture_ports {
0 alsa_pcm:capture_1
1 alsa_pcm:capture_2
}
}
pcm.jackplug {
#pcm.!default {
type plug
slave { pcm "jack" }
}
And then on the console try:
aplay -D jackplug some_wav_file.wav
I consistently get this error message:
~/sound/
JACK tmpdir identified as [/dev/shm]
Playing WAVE 'nuu_samba/
aplay: set_params:900: Sample format non available
Not only is it bad english [;)] but also it seems to be a regression as this used to work perfectly fine in gutsy with libasound2 version 1.0.13..
Thanks,
Flo

Erm, correction:
"Not only is it bad english [;)] but also it seems to be a regression as this used to work perfectly fine in gutsy with libasound2 version 1.0.13.."
Must read:
"Not only is it bad english [;)] but also it seems to be a regression as this used to work perfectly fine in FEISTY with libasound2 version 1.0.13.."
