Sujet: two sound cards - vlc fails to open ice1712 : unable to set
stream sample size and word order
Package: vlc
Version: 0.8.6.h-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
I've two sound cards.
$ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [ICH5 ]: ICH4 - Intel ICH5
Intel ICH5 with AD1985 at irq 17
1 [M2496 ]: ICE1712 - M Audio Audiophile 24/96
M Audio Audiophile 24/96 at 0xdf80, irq 23
[Kernel has a race problem: card order changes between boots...]
When selecting the sound card through the vlc gui menu, it doesn't
work on the chosen sound card (ICE1712), output this message:
[00000338] main audio output debug: looking for audio output module: 3

and falls back to the other sound card.
When I specify explicitly the target sound card:
vlc --alsadev default:CARD=M2496
It works!

Is there something to improve in vlc ?
Cheers,
Michel
