Description Jiang Yike 2011-03-19 01:29:15 CET

Description of problem:

The present Wine supports pulseaudio, alsa and oss. Is it possible to support jack audio? Some games have no sound, and perhaps jack audio can solve the problem.

It does already support jack, just install libjack0 from the Core 32bit repo.

I think we can add a suggests on libjack to the wine package... (I'll sleep on it, it's too late here at the moment :)).

OK, after the installation of libjack0, Wine can choose jack audio as the audio driver. Thank you!

After jack audio is chosen as the audio driver of Wine, all games crash when starting.

Open winecfg -> Audio, with jack selected as the sound driver, click "Test Sound", does it crash too?

Also what's the output of:
rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NVRA}\n" '*jack*'

It crashes too.

The output:

lib64jack0-1.9.6-1.mga1.x86_64
libjack0-1.9.6-1.mga1.i586
jackit-1.9.6-1.mga1.x86_64

Comment 6 Ahmad Samir 2011-03-20 01:29:27 CET

i586 libjack0 requires i586 jackit, it won't work with x86_64 jackit... so this is more complicated than it looks..

Yes. There is no i586 jackit in the repositories.

Comment 8 Ahmad Samir 2011-03-20 02:39:37 CET

Of course there's i586 jackit, but urpmi won't let you install it as long as x86_64 jackit is installed...

I can't see a i586 jackit in the core32 repository which has been added.

Comment 10 Ahmad Samir 2011-03-20 16:06:14 CET

It _is_ there in the repos: ftp://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/i586/media/core/release/jackit-1.9.6-1.mga1.i586.rpm

Try:
linux32 urpmq --sources jackit

It can't be installed.

It shows:
http://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/i586/media/core/release/jackit-1.9.6-1.mga1.i586.rpm

Why doesn't the Rpmdrake show the file? The Release and Updates repos Core32 have been chosen.

Because:

So you have to, first remove x86_64 jackit for urpmi to let you see/install i586 jackit.

Just be careful if you have any x86_64 installed packages that require jackit, they'll be removed too.

I tested as you said. There is the result.

When x86_64 jackit is removed, the following packages are also removed:

- ffmpeg-0.6.1-2.mga1.x86_64
- gimp-2.6.11-4.mga1.x86_64
- lib64avformats52-0.6.1-2.mga1.x86_64
- lib64gegl0.1_0-0.1.2-3.mga1.x86_64
- lib64jack0-1.9.6-1.mga1.x86_64
- lib64sox1-14.3.0-3.mga1.x86_64
- libjack0-1.9.6-1.mga1.i586
- sox-14.3.0-3.mga1.x86_64


And the following packages become orphan:

  lib64avc1394_0-0.5.3-8.mga1.x86_64
  lib64babl0.1_0-0.1.2-3.mga1.x86_64
  lib64dc1394_22-2.1.2-6.mga1.x86_64
  lib64ffado2-2.0.1-3.mga1.x86_64
  lib64freebob0-1.0.11-6.mga1.x86_64
  lib64gimp2.0_0-2.6.11-4.mga1.x86_64
  lib64gsm1-1.0.13-4.mga1.x86_64
  lib64iec61883_0-1.2.0-4.mga1.x86_64
  lib64lpc10_1-1.5-12.mga1.x86_64
  lib64openraw1-0.0.8-5.mga1.x86_64
  lib64postproc51-0.6.1-2.mga1.x86_64
  lib64raw1394_11-2.0.6-2.mga1.x86_64
  lib64rtmp0-2.3-3.mga1.x86_64
  lib64swscaler0-0.6.1-2.mga1.x86_64
  lib64wavpack1-4.60.1-2.mga1.x86_64
  lib64xml++2.6_2-2.32.0-1.mga1.x86_64


The installation of i586 jackit needs the following packages:

- libavahi-client3-0.6.28-4.mga1.i586
- libavahi-common3-0.6.28-4.mga1.i586
- libavahi-glib1-0.6.28-4.mga1.i586

- libcdio12-0.82-3.mga1.i586
- libcdio_cdda0-0.82-3.mga1.i586
- libdbus-glib-1_2-0.88-2.mga1.i586
- libffado2-2.0.1-3.mga1.i586
- libfreebob0-1.0.11-6.mga1.i586
- libgamin-1_0-0.1.10-6.mga1.i586
- libGConf2_4-2.32.0-1.mga1.i586
- libgcrypt11-1.4.6-4.mga1.i586
- libgdu0-2.32.0-1.mga1.i586
- libgio2.0_0-2.28.1-1.mga1.i586
- libglibmm2.4_1-2.25.5-2.mga1.i586
- libgnome-keyring0-2.32.0-1.mga1.i586
- libgpg-error0-1.10-1.mga1.i586

- libmodman1-0.4.6-5.mga1.i586
- libORBit2_0-2.14.19-1.mga1.i586
- libproxy1-0.4.6-5.mga1.i586
- libpth20-2.0.7-8.mga1.i586
- libraw1394_11-2.0.6-2.mga1.i586
- libsigc++2.0_0-2.2.8-2.mga1.i586
- libsoup-2.4_1-2.33.90-1.mga1.i586

- libudev0-166-1.mga1.i586
- libxml++2.6_2-2.32.0-1.mga1.i586

After the i586 jackit is installed, winecfg doesn't crash when testing jack audio,
but it has no sound and says, "Audio test failed!"

I think that the dependencies of the packages need to be optimized, because at least the x86_64 packages of ffmpeg and gimp should be kept.

@ Ake
You made this request against cauldron 7 months ago. Do you already have the enhancement in current cauldron or updated mageia 1 official, or is it still missing?

The lastest Wine doesn't not support jack audio any more. So the bug is invalid now.
