Before I forget *again*

Place this in ~/.asoundrc to make mpd work with a S16_LE card on a Big Endian system.
pcm_slave.convert {
pcm "hw:1,0"
format S16_LE
}

pcm.convert {
type plug
slave convert
}

Every time I reinstall (or in this case disable pulse audio because of problems) I forget how I have to configure it.
this works, if you set device “convert” in mpd config.

    Thanks to a certain *ex* developer of mpd. I have stopped all my work on mpd since 1-1-2008. I have better things todo then being insulted or being called unreliable by someone that has no right of talking.

    Gmpc will also only receive bug-fixes.

    there still is the /ignore command… mpd is quite popular so opinions *will* differ. Since i wasnt there from christmas on, i couldnt follow what happened, but personally i find it sad to lose one of mpd’s most enthusiastic devs :(

    I’m really sad to head this :( especially that gmpc will only recieve bugfixes. Can you elaborate on why this is happening, or is it a private matter?
    In any case, this is really a sad event!

    Hi

    This interests me, but after I do the changes when running:

    #/usr/bin/mpd –stdout –no-daemon –verbose

    I get:

    output: Failed to open “ALSA Device Rafael” [alsa]: Failed to open ALSA device “convert”: No such file or directory
