Solaris Express 9/06 Issues

The following issues apply to the Solaris Express 9/06 release.

Sound Juicer and Nautilus-CD-Burner Cannot Be Used Without HAL (6423748)

To work properly, the Sound Juicer and Nautilus-CD-Burner must have the hardware abstraction layer (HAL) present.

When you try to run the Sound Juicer or Nautilus-CD-Burner, an error message indicates that the particular functionality is unavailable.

Workaround:

• To play an audio track, perform these steps:

  • Run the following gst-launch command by replacing the 1 with the audio track number that you want to play:

    $ gst-launch cdda://1 ! sunaudiosink

  • To play a CD device that is not the default device, you need to specify the CD device name and audio track number. Replace “/dev/rdsk/” with the device name and replace 1 with the track number that you want to play. Then run the following gst-launch command:

    $ gst-launch cdiocddasrc device=/dev/rdsk/c1t0d0p0 track=1 ! sunaudiosink

• To write a CD:

  Use the cdrecord command. For more information about this command, see the cdrecord man page.

• To copy an audio track from a CD and save it as a file:

  Run the following gst-launch command by replacing the 1 with the audio track number that you want to play:

  gst-launch cdiocddasrc track=1 ! (decoder plugin for format desired) ! filesink location=filename
