[Alsaplayer-devel] libalsaplayer in LiVES

[salsaman]

Hi,
I am Salsaman, main developer of the quite popular video editor/VJ tool 
LiVES (http://lives.sf.net).

I need to make an internal audio player for the program, and having 
investigated various solutions, I found that libalsaplayer suits the 
needs of the project almost perfectly.

However, I can't get even a simple test program to work:

test.c:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <alsaplayer/control.h>


int main (void) {

  ap_add_path (0, "/usr/local/music/foo.wav");
  ap_play (0);

  return 0;
}

then gcc -lalsaplayer -o test; ./test

it compiles, but nothing is played.

I have installed libalsaplayer 0.99.76

The wav file in question can be played with alsaplayer 0.99.76 without 
problems.

Any help with getting libalsaplayer working would be greatly appreciated.

Also for my purposes I will need to be able to play raw pcm encoded 
files (without wav header). Is this possible using libalsaplayer ?

Regards,
Salsaman.
