Config to audio output ASIO

Postby sphaira » 12 Dec 2009 13:56

Hello,

I searched in the forum a solution to output the vlc audio output to my e-mu 1212m (asio compatible) audio card. but nobody can find a solution that works, why?

Is it a problem of :
  • License ;
  • Configuration ;
  • Development ;
  • Other.
it's a shame to have a quality sound card and does not benefited!
If there is no solution, do you know a player (with the quality of vlc) that contains this feature (not winamp please)?

Portaudio can be build with ASIO support, but because of license of ASIO, the library cannot be shared.

There is a plugin for Windows Media Player, but I haven't tested it.

Thanks for reply!

Is there a tutorial to compil portaudio with the asio support!

I have not programmed in c++ for 3 or 4 years but it should return.

You would also have to build a VLC. I don't have tutorial for portaudio compile with ASIO, but I have one for VLC compile

If I understand this right, VLC (at least the portaudio component) of it can be compiled/built i a way to support ASIO output (which I would appreciate a lot). The only reason for not incorporating it into the official release is a license issue for ASIO.

But the mentioned sourceforge project for adding ASIO output to Windows Media Player is GPL, and foobar has a ASIO support as well. Why seems to be no license issue for them but for VLC? :(

Thank you for the link to the Audacity wiki which explains the license situation in more detail.

Would be nice if VLC can have a similar solution as Audacity which means to integrate the support in the source code and include a manual how to build the executable together with the Steinberg SDK.

Still wondering how the (sourceforge) projekt for ASIO for Windows Mediaplayer handle the license issue. Mabye they are programming from scratch? In that case they should be convinced to port their software to VLC :D

I would guess that project doesn't respect ASIO license.
