Unknown stream type: alsa (in AUR package)

[cpegel]

I just built snapcast 0.21.0 for an x86_64 ArchLinux using the AUR package.

However, having a source = alsa://… entry in my config, the snapserver won't start anymore:

2020-09-17 11-04-47.969 [Notice] (Server) Server::start: Unknown stream type: alsa
2020-09-17 11-04-47.969 [Error] (main) Exception: Unknown stream type: alsa

The output of snapserver -v starts with snapserver v0.21.0, so it is indeed the new version.

Maybe some configuration went wrong during the build, but I'd need help to figure that out.

The AUR package is built using make, since I'm mainly using cmake, I forgot to add a flag in the makefile. It's now in, so the 0.21.1 or 0.22.0 AUR package should have support for alsa stream sources

Thanks, I've patched the makefile and rebuilt the package. ALSA sources are working now!

Hi, I'm the maintainer of the AUR package.
Just for my information: should I change the implementation to use cmake? If so, could the documentation be updated as well, because currently it's only mentioning make as the build mechanism.
Thanks in advance!

Hi @mogwa1 ,
yes, cmake is the preferred way. I use it during development and recently changed the debian packaging to use cmake. Some things still need to be migrated to cmake, e.g. Android, the documentation and clang sanitizer builds.
I will update the documentation soon.
