Multimedia Bonus Disc development

[Dweeberkitty]

Ardour seemed to record fine for me. I will fix the Audacity wxGTK dep. What version of the MMBD are you using?

[easuter]

Found another multimedia app called Hydrogen:

Hydrogen is already on there easuter -). While we're suggesting cool programs, may I suggest lmms ?

Bah! I need a good night's sleep

Don't remember seeing this one:

For the audio freaks who are also free format purists.

That looks very promising.  I am pretty exited, looks like the alsa guys will include my maya44 in the supported cards list soon.

[Dweeberkitty]

lmms is already on the disc. Or at least it'll be in Beta 2 if it's not already in Beta 1. I don't remember.

[The Headacher]

Wow, there's a beta 2 already? must've missed it's announcement. I thought I was running the latest with beta 1.

"It'll be" Future tense.  I'm working on it.

Oh, BTW, someone reported that Audacity doesn't have the wxGTK dependency. I looked and it actually does. Could you report specific problems with it and Gslapt? Thanks!

[rbistolfi]

Actually the dep is there, but the package is missing from the repo.

Code: [Select]

root:# slapt-get --install audacity

Done

I know I have 2.8.6 in the mbd, though.

[Dweeberkitty]

This is from the online repo right? Then that's easuter's realm. I'm also going to upgrade from 2.8.6 to 2.8.7. That'll be included in Beta 2 as well and should be in the repo if easuter or exterdad can get to it when I release.

[rbistolfi]

Yes it is. You are right. Lets go to burn easuter instead

Hi,

Downloaded and install the complete Beta of the bounus Disc.  haven't tried everything yet ,
but still can not get Audacity to work.  It gives me the error message Error while opening sound device. Please check the input device settings and the project sample rate.

Here is the error message when I start it from a terminal

Any help appreciated.

I don't think this is a bug. Start Audacity and go to Edit->Preferences->Audio I/O. Make sure that hw:0 (or something) under Alsa is selected for both record and playback. Mess with those settings and see if it fixes it.

I have already done that and it made no difference. the sound card works fine with xmms movies and other sound events.  so don't know what the trouble can be.

Thanks ,
