[Ian @ un4seen]

ARM (ARMv6 architecture) Linux versions of BASS and the BASSFLAC/MIDI/OPUS/enc/mix add-ons are available here:

   www.un4seen.com/stuff/bass24-linux-arm.zip ^{(updated: 21 May '13)}

The BASS_AAC/ALAC/APE/FX add-ons are also available:

   www.un4seen.com/stuff/bass_aac-linux-arm.zip
   www.un4seen.com/stuff/bass_alac-linux-arm.zip
   www.un4seen.com/stuff/bass_ape-linux-arm.zip
   www.un4seen.com/files/z/0/bass_fx24-linux-arm.zip

The headers and documentation can be taken from the packages on the BASS page.

Like the Android and Windows CE versions, it uses fixed-point rather than floating-point, so some things are a bit different to the "normal" Linux version... The BASS_SAMPLE_FLOAT flag isn't supported. The BASS_CONFIG_FLOATDSP option is still available, but it will result in 8.24 fixed-point data instead of floating-point, and that goes for BASS_ChannelGetData too when getting FFT data or using the BASS_DATA_FLOAT flag.

Please report any problems.

Hi Ian!

What about Plugins for ARM? I also would like to buy a Raspberry PI and run my Player on it (together with my NAS). FLAC and APE would be nice.

Thanx!

Edit: Och, is see, modell b isnt released yet, didn't say anything...

[Ian @ un4seen]

I think that can be arranged. To begin with, an ARM Linux version of the BASSFLAC add-on is now included in the package above. If all is well, other add-ons will follow

Hi Ian !
I'm currently doing some first tests with BASS on the Raspberry Pi using the Debian System and a FPC 2.6.0, which works fine so far.
Do you have an idea, when the BassMix will be available for the ARM Linux ? It would help me a lot, because I want to do crossfades.

Thanks
JR

[Ian @ un4seen]

Good to hear that things are going well so far with the RPi.

As requested, the BASSmix add-on has now been added to the package in the 1st post. Let me know if you have any trouble with it.

Hi, I'm unable to get this to work on Raspbian hardfp on Raspberry Pi. I get "error while loading shared libraries: libbass.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" despite that the library's location is in my LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Any ideas?

[pete]

I suspect the problem is that the library has been built for softp. Would it be possible to rebuild the library using "-march=armv6 -mfpu=vfp -mfloat-abi=hard" or using the hardfp toolchain provided by Broadcom?

Thanks,
Pete

[Ian @ un4seen]

"hardfp" is not supported by the toolchain that is currently used to build the ARM Linux libraries, but I'll see about getting a toolchain that does support it.

Thanks Ian for the reply Ian, I look forward to any progress on this front.

Just did a quick test and I can tell that BASS works fine on Raspberry PI running "Raspbian wheezy". I run C# code using Mono 2.10 with BASS.Net (C# 4.0)

Ken,

Just to confirm - you're running hardfp Raspbian wheezy and not armel Debian wheezy? If so, I wonder what I am doing wrong...

Pete, do you run the latest build of wheezy? I have problems with earlier versions, mono framework build had some errors. I run "Soft-float Debian “wheezy”" (2012-08-08-wheezy-armel) from http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads  I have not tested the other builds yet.
 
When installing mono use full version: apt-get install mono-complete

[mnstrmnch]

I am running the latest Raspbian wheezy, I will try the Debian wheezy that you mention. Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Pete

[mnstrmnch]

Okay, working fine with Debian wheezy  Thanks for the help. It would still be good to get a version for Raspbian wheezy with hardfp though, as most people will start using it.

Thanks,
Pete

Good that it works, sorry I mixed up Debian and Raspbian wheezy's, Linux is not my home field ...

Hi all,
I am running Arch Linux on my Raspberry PI, together with Bass(.Net) on Mono.
When I play an MP3 file, it plays successfully however every second I hear a annoying sound, some kind of crack.
It looks to me that the buffer is too small, I tried to increase it several times, but it doesn't fix the problem.

[ken]

I have so far only tested streaming MP3 (BASS_StreamCreateURL) and I have no cracks or pops in the sound.

I'm running a WinForm application, (.NET Mono, C# 4.0 on "Soft-float Debian wheezy")

Are you increasing the size of the stream buffer or the device buffer, ie. the BASS_CONFIG_BUFFER or BASS_CONFIG_DEV_BUFFER setting? If the former, you could try the latter. Note that needs to be done before calling BASS_Init (you can call BASS_Free and then BASS_Init again). Please also try monitoring what BASS_GetCPU says, to check whether it's struggling to decode the MP3 quickly enough.

Thanks, I increased the BASS_CONFIG_DEV_BUFFER and that seems to work. The CPU is now around the 13%.

[Ian @ un4seen]

A "hardfp" LIBBASS.SO build is now up in the package in the 1st post. If you give it a try, please report how you get on.
