I had posted earlier to the multimedia list about this problem. In short, I have discovered that with my batteries installed playing any sounds through pcm (with the exception of audio cds) is plagued by blurs or blips lasting fractions of a second. Without batteries installed this does not occur, and the symptoms are unrelated to AC line status. The problem isn't there under either 5.2-RELEASE or 4.9-RELEASE. I've been playing around a bit with FreeSBIE (nice!) and a lark popped it into my Dell only to find that the sound issue wasn't there! Earlier I had already tried all sorts of mods to the sound code and also reverted to a GENERIC kernel but was unable to make the problem go away. This time I left everthing as I already had it (stock sound code and custom kernel) and tried to play my test mp3 from the command line using amp outside of X (gdm running, but logged in under a vt) and there were no problems. Then I started X on :1 (gdm had :0) running just twm and neither amp nor xmms had a problem. I added gkrellm and still no problem. I started up esd and still had no issues. At this point, convinced it was something running under my gnome session, I logged from gdm and immediately saw the sound problem again. Taking a stab in the dark I shut down the battery status applet and the problem disappeared! Curious, I tried switching to the apm component in gkrellm for battery status and the problem returned. I found the same issue with xbattbar as well. Evidently the issue is with the apm emulation used to give battery status when using acpi; it looks as though any program that polls this code causes the sound blurs/blips. A couple of wrinkles -- the blurs/blips return when the batteries are all topped up and the AC line is connected. I can trigger a blur/blip by running the apm command, though it doesn't happen absolutely every time I run it. Specifically, it doesn't happen every time when I run apm with short intervals between iterations. Is there some sort of cache involved with this? So what's the next step?

There shouldn't be anything special that you need to do to support multiple burners.. I can successfully burn at 24x on an old K5-90 (using a modern IDE add in card), so you might have more troubles if you don't have enough memory, or problems with the IDE bus...

You can run about as many burners as you can fit ATA controllers in your machine, there are no limits to that. Now to make things run smoothly, you should better get drives that support DMA to minimise the CPU overhead and to be on the safe side they should have "burnproof" of semilar technology as well (can you even buy an ATAPI burner with these features today?). Anyhow I know of at least a couble setups with 8 burners each that are used for making small release batches of CDR's works without a hitch using burncd and some custom scripts.... -- -Søren From owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Apr 27 12:11:29 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id EA6EC16A4CE for ; Tue, 27 Apr 2004 12:11:29 -0700 (PDT) Received: from sccrmhc12.comcast.net (sccrmhc12.comcast.net [204.127.202.56]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 803C843D4C for ; Tue, 27 Apr 2004 12:11:28 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from julian@elischer.org) Received: from interjet.elischer.org ([24.7.73.28]) by comcast.net (sccrmhc12) with ESMTP id <20040427191126012002sjgae>; Tue, 27 Apr 2004 19:11:27 +0000 Received: from localhost (localhost.elischer.org [127.0.0.1]) by InterJet.elischer.org (8.9.1a/8.9.1) with ESMTP id MAA59945; Tue, 27 Apr 2004 12:11:25 -0700 (PDT) Date: Tue, 27 Apr 2004 12:11:23 -0700 (PDT) From: Julian Elischer To: Tim Aslat In-Reply-To: <20040427112906.30312285@bofh.spyderweb.com.au> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII cc: FreeBSD Multimedia Subject: Re: multiple burners X-BeenThere: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Multimedia discussions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 27 Apr 2004 19:11:30 -0000 we run 4 at once (both CD and DVD) using scsi and firewitre attached drives.. we use cdrecord..

OK, so you need to write the same data to 2 discs simultaneously using one cdrecord/burncd process. I don't think that is possible in FBSD (I hope I'm wrong). Why don't you just write a simple scripts that launches 2 processes to writing the same .iso?

Not if he's only ever seen it done on Windows where the "tech stuff" is hidden from the users. There's a number of Windows burning programs where all you do is set it up to burn as normal then tick the burners off in a list and it works.

Karl, I would guess that other output from mplayer is confusing the encoding.

I have actually, and I get audible sound, but it's as if I had taken the original file and chopped it up into little bits and swapped them around. I was hoping someone could supply a working command line example using either mplayer or mencoder that did RA->MP3 in a single pipeline. (Re:mencoder, it dumps core for almost anything I try with it, and using named pipes exhibit the same problem as the above pipe approach.)

I haven't tried it, but try adding "-nowaveheader" to mplayer and use the right -r -s and --bitwidth arguments for lame. I know it works with named pipes, since I fixed some issues with it for someone else (lame 3.94 contains the fix).

Thanks for your reply. I tried all kinds of combinations of the above before my original email to the list. Perhaps there's a combination that will work, but I couldn't find it. Hence my post to see if someone else had already done this and could supply a working example.

Go get the cvs version from mplayerhq, it compiles just fine under FreeBSD and mencoder from that works. just use the -oac mp3lame option and you are all set... -- -Søren
