[Audacity-devel] Unicode and german umlaute

[Andreas P. <ml....@gm...>]

Hi!
First I'd like to thank for the fixing of the z-problem in the text track.
With this, I wanted to extend my personal modifications for audacity, but
there I found the next heavy problem (at least for me), which stalls my
work. In german, we have special characters, called "Umlaute" (similar to
those in french and some other languages). I cam type them in the text track
without any problems. After saving and reloading the project, they are
replaced with two single chars. Ok, I thought, that's definitly a unicode
problem - let's try the unicode version of audacity. Said and done, it
worked, the Umlaute were saved and reloaded correctly - even it was said,
the unicode build would only affect the linux platform. But I can't playback
sound with it. Recording works, but not playback. The reason is - as far as
I can see - that the audio decices in the preferences dialog are truncated
after the first char (Only "A" and "M", which should be "Microsoft
Soundmapper - Input/Output" and "Aureon Wave"). Seems to be another unicode
problem, this time the other way round. It would be great if someone could
give me a hint where to start to correct this and in which of both versions
best...

Thanks in advance,
Andreas "SunSailor" Podgurski
