[gentoo-user] No ogg sounds

[gentoo-user] No ogg sounds

[Daniel D Jones]

New amd64 system with KDE, trying to get sound working.  Almost there.  First 
issue I had was that the sound driver apparently doesn't work if compiled 
into the kernel.  If you compile it as a module, it does work.  Second, I 
didn't have the -arts flag enabled before I compiled KDE.  (Followed the 
install instructions at the Gentoo wiki.  Not sure if it omits to mention it 
or if I skipped it when reading.)  Then added new useflags for various 
codecs.  (In the last couple of days, I've recompiled all or most of KDE 
three times.)  I now have sound working, and can play MP3s.  I can not, 
however, play ogg vorbis, including the system sound oggs.  


Use flags are:

USE="64bit widescreen -gnome offensive slang unicode mozdevelop kde \
     kdecards xinerama opengl qt3 X arts avi live matroska mpeg \
     oggvorbis real theora xanim X aac opengl sdl xv dvd dvdnav dvdread \
     3dnow 3dnow2 mmx mmx2 mmxext sse sse2 3dnowext a52"

oggvorbis is selected.

LIbogg version 1.1.3 is installed.


KPlayer, given an ogg file, keeps failing with the same error over and over 
until I either close it or hit the stop button:

Trying to play an ogg directly from mplayer, I get:

It recognizes the ogg, and appears to be playing it, but there's no sound.  It 
complains that it can't connect to an arts soundserver, but:

artsd is running.  Any ideas or hints appreciated.

"ogg" and "vorbis" are two flags :-)

Put a space between them, and recompile affected programs (emerge -aN 
world).
