Audacious

Hi all

I cross compiled audacious-3.2.2,audacious-plugins-3.2.2,mpg123-1.14.1 with arm-linux-gcc successfully.
But when I play mp3 with command "audacious a.mp3", program hits:

*mpg123: Error opening file a.mp3: Unable to set up output format! (code 1).

when I use mpg123 test program to run command "[linux]#./mpg123 hw:0,0 a.mp3", everything is okay, i can hear the music, but audacious failed.
Does anybody know what happened?

[build audacious-3.2.2]
./configure CC=arm-linux-gcc --host=arm-linux --disable-chardet --disable-dbus --prefix=/usr/gtkx11-arm-p4
make && make install

[build audacious-plugins-3.2.2]
./configure CC=arm-linux-gcc --host=arm-linux --enable-mp3 --enable-chardet --prefix=/usr/gtkx11-arm-p4 --disable-vorbis --disable-filewriter_vorbis --disable-gnomeshortcuts --disable-sdlout --disable-scrobbler #### use vesa
make && make install

mpg123 relies on assembly code and does not provide a C-language fallback for its floating-point output. You should talk to the project's developers about implementing floating-point support on ARM platforms.

Thanks, John
Do you mean it is the mpg123 lib issue, not audacious mpg123 plugin issue?

But I suspect it is the audacious mpg123 plugin issue.

Cross compile mpg123-1.14.1 library will generate a binary file "mpg123", it is the sample test program to play mp3.
When I use it to play mp3 on ARM board with command "mpg123 a.mp3", output music is okay, but audacious failed.

It is neither strictly an mpg123 issue nor an issue with the Audacious plugin. The command line mpg123 will do 16-bit integer decoding, for which mpg123 has a C-language implementation. Audacious requires mpg123 to do floating-point decoding, for which it has only assembly language implementations, none of which work on ARM.

en, Thanks, John.

Hi John

Issue resolved after cross compiled mpg123 with option "--with-cpu=generic_fpu".

Thanks very much.
