Hi,
someone knows to what is related ipc_key, ipc_gid and ipc_perm settings in /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf file?
I ask that because even if I don't have an audio group created on my embedded system, I can play a wave file with aplay.
But since I want to use -D plug:dmix option, I can't. It asks me to create audio group.
But after that, I have a strange error I can't explain: audio open error: Operation not permitted.
I think ipc_perm has something related to chmod 0660 file?
But what is ipc_key ? Does I have to set it somewhere since I installed manually alsa on my system ?
Also, On SuSE, I see a + at the end of permission listing of each device file. What does it mean? Like this:
crw-rw----+ 1 dax audio 116, 7 2008-08-13 14:06 controlC0 crw-rw----+ 1 dax audio 116, 3 2008-08-13 14:06 midiC0D0 crw-rw----+ 1 dax audio 116, 6 2008-08-13 14:06 pcmC0D0c crw-rw----+ 1 dax audio 116, 5 2008-08-13 14:06 pcmC0D0p crw-rw----+ 1 dax audio 116, 4 2008-08-13 14:06 pcmC0D1p
I don't have that on my embedded system, is it something related only to SuSE ?
Thanks,
Simon
