Bug Description

This one seems pretty simple: Trying to play any file with SIDPlay2 causes the program to die with exactly one line of output: the error as noted in the summary. Attempting to run the program through aoss or esddsp gives the same result.

Audacious SID Plugin seems to work fine, however.

I should mention, this is under Maverick. No trouble with previous releases.

I can confirm this with 10.10 too. Seems to be issue with pulseaudio. Using padsp as it produces garbled output.

"Using padsp as it produces garbled output." => "Can't use padsp either as it produces garbled output."

ALSA support Edit (13.7 KiB, text/plain)

Missed this bug (why is it not listed under the sidplay package?), attaching patch from bug #740560.

Still an issue with the full/final release of Natty. However, there is a workaround one can use instead of the above patch - use alsa-oss and padsp together:

aoss padsp sidplay2 somefile.sid
