This is a song parody by David Hammond. It is based on Barbie Girl by Aqua, and summarizes one day's frustration getting sound from a music player and a game to play at once.
I had esd, but sound got so choppy
In Diablo, and it's so slow
I was ALSA-bound, but then I lose the sound
Within a minute when I'm in it.ALSA here is so unstable
I've XMMS - on Linux it's the best
I start my singin' and fight the demon
But as I move about, the music just cuts out
I find that violence sucks when it's in silenceI'm a blonde amazon and my music is gone
Want it back, read the FAQ, it no worky
Wanna dance with my lance and cause havok and pain
With a tune coming through - makes me happyI can hear, I can play
But I can't do both at once
Oooh wah ooohI use Ubuntu, but Wine's from Wine HQ
I followed this guide - (hope I got it right)
It started off just fine, but then after some time
XMMS crashed, and now it will not lastALSA here is so unstable - ah ah ah yeah
I don't like this eSound server - oooh wah oooh, oooh wah oooh
OSS, it has no mixer - ah ah ah yeah
My last option is disk writer - oooh wah oooh, oooh wah ooohSomeone talk, fix my box, 'cause I need this to work
Need some pop music playing where demons do lurk
Start it up, hear that sound, then I'm moving around
In the rogue camp and then it goes silent.I can hear, I can play
But I can't do both at once.
I can hear, I can play
But I can't do both at once.ALSA here is so unstable - ah ah ah yeah
I don't like this eSound server - oooh wah oooh, oooh wah oooh
OSS, it has no mixer - ah ah ah yeah
My last option is disk writer - oooh wah oooh, oooh wah oooh“Oh, I'm having so much fun!”
“Too bad. No sound for you!”
“Oh, I hate you ALSA!”
