Hi, I just started using madplay a short while ago and I was wondering whether it is possible to select an ALSA card different from the default one for audio output.

...

From looking at the code it seems like the PATH part of --output is

used, however madplay --output=alsa:plughw:1 myfile.mp3 chokes as the TYPE alsa does not exist (in audio.c).

Did I miss something in the command line or is this a bug / missing feature (for which I could provide a patch)?

Thanks, -Thomas

You can try: madplay -o wave:- something.mp3 | aplay

You may also need mount /dev/sda1 -o remount,async,noatime on nslu2 to get better usb transfer, so you won't experience hangs during playback.
