[Gwc-general] 0.21-12 released (alpha with Pulse Audio driver)

[jeff w. <we...@ya...>]

I've noticed a few people with Ubuntu having problems with GWC.

I suspect it is something not right in Ubuntu's configuration of gnome, but I could only guess.

I have a netbook with ubuntu on it, and while I could compile GWC, I couldn't make the sound
work using the ALSA driver.  So I coded up the pulse audio driver, and got that working
on my main workstation.  I have not yet tried it on my netbook, but here's GWC with direct
support for Pulse audio.  Let me know how it works.

I probably haven't got the configure script quite right.  Pulse audio is enabled by default
on this version.  A "./configure" will attempt to find the pulse audio development files.
On fedora, the package is named "pulseaudio-libs-devel", I'm not sure what the equivalent
ubuntu package is named...

Cheers,
Jeff 


      

[Gwc-general] 0.21-13 released (beta with Pulse Audio driver)

[jeff w. <we...@ya...>]

Bugfix on the pulse audio driver.  Pulse audio didn't indicate the output buffer was flushed, so GWC would sit indefinitely thinking audio was still playing and not allow any editing.  Fixed that issue.

Also, discovered (via user feedback :D) libsndfile cannot open wav files in Read/Write mode that have strings in the header (i.e. titles, songnames etc), so the error from libsndfile is now fed back to the user.

Enjoy,
Jeff

[Gwc-general] 0.21-16 released (beta with Pulse Audio/ALSA sound driver)

[jeff w. <we...@ya...>]

0.21-16 is released.  

After some research, I found a reliable way to make it work on the Pulse 
Audio/ALSA 

configuration which seems to be typical linux audio setup these days.

I recommend you try to build it with the default configuration, which uses
ALSA.  Even when Pulse Audio is running, this configuration can still
connect directly to the ALSA sound driver.  Using ALSA is preferred because
there will be less overall overhead (Pulse Audio ends up calling ALSA anyway), 
and
the cursor tracking is a lot better in ALSA.



If this works for you, please send a note back to the gwc-general mailing list.  
And,
especially, if it doesn't work for you let me know that too!

Cheers,
Jeff
