    SliTaz sound and video

    +

    +SliTaz LiveCD mode provides sound support, but no video player, however you can watch YouTube by installing +the get-flash-plugin package. To watch videos you can use Xine, it supports most formats such +as avi, mov, mpeg etc, note Xine can also act as an audio player. At the sound level, you have a mixer +(alsamixer) and audio player (alsaplayer), both installed by default on standard CD. SliTaz also provides +tools to configure your sound card. +

    + + +

    Configure the sound card

    +

    +In LiveCD mode SliTaz automatically configures the sound card by launching a dialog, in most cases the sound +card is instantly recognized and you just press ENTER to continue to login and have your sound working. +However, sometimes your card is not recognized at startup or simply not supported. Before throwing in the +towel, you can try to manually configure your card by asking for help on the discussion list or on the +hardware support forum. +

    +

    Soundconf

    +

    +To configure or reconfigure a sound card, SliTaz provides a script (soundconf), this utility +is used at startup and doesn't pose any questions, supports the right modules and automatically configures +/etc/rsS.conf so that the right driver is loaded on each start. Soundconf will also +automatically adjust volume levels, you can change the settings later through the mixer and +alsactl. To start the sound configuration interface, you must have administrator priviledges +and type: +

    +
    + # soundconf
+
    +

    Alsactl

    +

    +Alsactl controls alsa and can store settings or restore sound for example, to retain +preferences for each start. When configuring sound with soundconf, volumes are automatically adjusted, you +can use alsamixer as root to change the values and then launch alsactl +to store the configuration: +

    +
    + # alsactl store
+
    +

    +To restore the configuration, you can use the alsactl restore command or to restore your +preferences at each startup you can edit /etc/init.d/local.sh with your favorite text editor or simply +'echo' the changes: +

    +
    + # echo 'alsactl restore' > /etc/init.d/local.sh
+
    + + +

    Alsamixer

    +

    +Alsamixer is the official mixer of the Alsa project. It is simple and effective and can be run from the +menu or directly from a terminal. The volumes can be regulated with the up/down arrows or muted using +the m key. To start from a Linux terminal: +

    +
    + $ alsamixer
+
    + + +

    Alsaplayer

    +

    +The audio player Alsaplayer is designed to be simple, clean and intuitive. Alsaplayer on SliTaz provides +support for ogg, mp3 (via libmad) and wav files, playlists and viewers to accompany sound and the ability +to adjust pitch and volume. Once launched from the menu just click the play button or load a playlist to +start. +

    + + +

    Asunder - Audio CD Ripper

    +

    +Asunder retrieves and encodes audio tracks from a CD. The toolkit is simple and easy to use encoding +songs into wav, ogg or mp3 (via lame package). It can search CDDB, create a playlist and +edit file names. You will find Asunder in the Multimedia category on the menu. +

    + + +

    Xine

    +

    +Xine is a multimedia project providing various video viewers and audio players. SliTaz provides libraries +and a media player contained in the package xine-ui. Xine uses a Xlib interface, a control +panel, a right click configuration menu and various plugins. It can play ogg, mp3 and flac audio codecs +and mov, avi or mpg video formats. To install xine and it's dependancies: +

    +
    + # tazpkg get-install xine-ui
+
    +

    mpg123

    +

    +Mpg123 is a command line audio player and file converter. This means that you can listen to music or +convert files from a terminal, to display help (--help). +To play a mp3 file, just launch mpg123 followed by the name of the audio file: +

    +
    + $ mpg123 sound.mp3
+
    +

    +Mpg123 can also encode a file into another format, for example you can convert +a wav file into a mp3 file. Example: +

    +
    + $ mpg123 -w sound.mp3 sound.wav 
+
