Difficulty piping arecord output into flac - I don't end up with a playable .flac file #commandline #alsa #flac

No sé si desde ayer o antier, pero estuve teniendo fallas al reproducir vídeos de YouTube en mi computadora. Al principio creí que era por tener uBlock Origin, pero luego me di cuenta que eran todos los vídeos, tanto por internet como incluso los que ya tenía en mi computadora. Y trasteando un poco más, me di cuenta que el problema no eran los vídeos, sino el sonido como tal.

Resulta que desde siempre uso #Linux, pero parece que apenas estos días, los servidores de sonido como #PulseAudio o #ALSA ya no funcionan como tal, y deben ser reemplazados con PipeWire.

Igual y podría haber una solución menos drástica, pero como a mí me funcionó, les paso el dato.

Serie: Zusammenspielen - Latenz

In dieser Serie geht es um die technischen Herausforderungen, die das gemeinsame Musizieren über das Internet mit sich bringen. Erst einmal geht es um die Grundlagen.

Three ways to play your audio file in reverse order:

1) sox <audiofile> -t alsa default reverse
2) ffmpeg -i <audiofile> -af areverse -f alsa default
3) mpv --play-direction=backward <audiofile>

#alsa と #pulseaudio に加えて #PipeWire なる存在が登場してるみたい。そしてなんだか不具合を起こしてます、面倒だなぁ... #Linux 6.1.0-30-amd64 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC #Debian 6.1.124-1 (2025-01-12) x86_64 GNU/Linux #xfce4 4.18 #pavucontrol

I've been using Linux on my desktop for nearly 30 years and i still don't understand how to get sound working properly and reliably.

Searching for some kind of distro-agnostic 2025 Linux audio general best practices guide... What should I be using (ALSA, jack, pulse, pipewire?), how can I configure multiple sound devices (onboard, HDMI, USB, Bluetooth), set my preferred inputs and outputs and levels on each, toggle between them properly, and have those settings persist after logout, reboot, or removal/addition of devices?

When building alsa-utils with a custom toolchain + sysroot, I get this error:

libtool: error: cannot find the library '/usr/lib/libasound.la' or unhandled argument '/usr/lib/libasound.la'

However, the file does exist inside of the sysroot, and configure claims to use the sysroot that the compiler specifies.

How do I solve this?

@joel I mean, #SystemD wasn't done by #Poettering because he had no hobbies - far from it.

• #SysVinit sucks and #Linux needs to modernize and change solely because many components like #Xorg, #OSS / #ALSA and #OpenGL are to be retired or are already only on life support.

SystemD, like #Wayland and #PipeWire is a "necessary evil" because the preexisting solutions are slow, not adaptive, cumbersome or just don't work well at all (i.e. mixed (#DPI & #HiDPI) screens with #X11 are just broken!

• People had years if not over a decade to fix those but they didn't and it's clear that a new & clean slate was necessary...

Cerco aiuto per un problema riscontrato su un MacBook air 2015, e l'installazione si Ubuntu 24.04lts. problema per quanto riguarda la scheda audio che non funziona.
Ho provato a reinstallare alsa base e configurato con alsamixer ma l'audio non funziona. Qualche aiutino?

You asked for system services written in #Vala, and even on phones?
We present #q6meowd, a service for correctly switching between speaker and earpiece audio output on incoming calls by @NekoCWD :
meowd: https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/NekoCWD/q6meowd/-/blob/master/src/main.vala
#postmarketos MR: https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/merge_requests/5738
Previously the logic was written in #C, so isn't this an improvement? :D
Also if you are interested in how to write #ALSA and #DBUS code with Vala, I recommend looking into the sources!
