[9fans] SoundBlaster 16 on QEMU not working

[9fans] SoundBlaster 16 on QEMU not working

[Pietro Gagliardi]

Hello. I have, in my QEMU setup, a SoundBlaster 16 audio card to  
emulate and the line

	audio0=sb16

in my plan9.ini and the line

	bind -a '#A' /dev

in my profile. But when I go to say, for example,

	games/playlistfs

it gives me this funky error message:

	games/playlistfs: /dev/audio: '/dev/audio' soundblaster not  
responding/wrong version

And

	term% lc /dev/a*
	archctl

What's going on? I'm using the Q emulator on Mac OS X, which is a GUI  
interface to QEMU. - Pietro

What you wrote is equivalent to

	audio=sb16=

The correct line for QEMU is

	audio0=type=sb16

Because you didn't set type=sb16, the audio driver didn't even
bother trying to configure the card.  

You might find that you need to use

	audio0=type=sb16 irq=5 dma=1

but the driver should be able to figure those out for itself,
so try the simpler line first.

Good so far. Now when I go to run games/jukebox, it complains that  
file /sys/lib/music/icons/skull.bit does not exist. What do I do now?

Re: [9fans] SoundBlaster 16 on QEMU not working

[Pietro Gagliardi]

Someone provided it and mp3enc in replica/pull (but forgot the man  
page for mp3dec - only mp3enc). It complains about needing an -s  
option because no device support was compiled in? I'll look at  
madplay later and see if that helps.

There is no native mp3dec. You can install the madplay port
from /n/sources/contrib/uriel/mirror/nemo_madplay.tgz.
Then do

% cat >/bin/games/mp3dec
cat $* | madplay -q -o RAW:- - 


or something like that. Or better write a native one :)
