Fwd: Re: Arts::ModplugPlayObject

**Please, CC: me as im not on the list (yet?).

----------  Original message  ----------

I was able to put kdenonbeta/arts/modplug back to life with a little bit of 
tweaking.
Then I found out that it plays correctly only at 44100Hz (the modplug 
CSoundFile is initialized with constant).

So, I tried to get to the artsd properties by using Arts::SoundServerV2 
interface.

here's the snippet:

---cut---
    Arts::Dispatcher dispatcher; // I dunno why this is needed, but let it be 
for now...
    Arts::SoundServerV2 server(Arts::Reference("global:Arts_SoundServer"));
---cut---

This was copied from artsshell.cc, so apparently should work.

Then i do this:

---cut---
if (server.isNull()) {
        // fallback to defaults
        freq = 44100;
} else {
        freq = server.samplingRate();
}
---cut---

For some reason the whole thing doesn't work (noatun doesn't start, no 
messages output). Before I go deep into "cody trip", can anyone tell me if 
I'm doing something extremely wrong?

You should ask this on kde-multimedia@ :-)

IMHO The dispatcher is the one who brings the sound from one object to the 
other. So its definitly needed in every programm which uses sound...

Here you need a "global:Arts_SoundServerV2". The normal Soundserver doesn't 
have a samplingRate(). I believe this is your fault...

You are setting the frequency to a default-value if no server is found? And 
then you expect sound to come while no server is found???

Well, it should found the server, if not it just won't produce any sound.  I
see no harm here. So from your pov, this code looks correct wrt finding
Artsd?

I tried SoundServerV2 too. It didn't work neither. Any suggestions on how to 
debug it/make it work?
