Hi all, Sweep in Debian was recently orphaned by its previous Debian maintainer. I'm thinking of becoming the new Debian maintainer of Sweep but a couple of things worry me. The Debian packaging is fine, but sweep itself has seen very little love since the port to GTK+2. The main fault with Sweep at the moment is that to switch from ALSA to PulseAudio you need to recompile. I currently working on fixing that.

I've hacked configure.ac so that on my machine I can have ALSA, OSS and PulseAudio compiled in at the same time and I can swap between them by using tdbtool to modify a 'driver' entry in $HOME/.sweep/preferences.tdb. This now needs to be hooked up to the audio config dialog which currently looks like this: http://www.mega-nerd.com/tmp/sweep_audio_device_configuration.png My idea would be to modify this dialog to add drop down list below the text "Changes to device settings will take effect..". I'm currently working on this. Erik -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Erik de Castro Lopo http://www.mega-nerd.com/ |

With my latest commit to SVN http://trac.metadecks.org/changeset/679 Sweep can now have multiple output drivers configured at compile time (i've been using ALSA, OSS and PulseAudio) and then chooe between these drivers at runtime using the "audio device configuration" dialog. As with the existing behaviour of that dialog, changes only come into effect the next time the play button is pressed so there are no horrible crashes just because you change the output driver during playback. I'd appreciate it if people could grab this, test it and report back success or failure. If you find a bug, give me a recipie for reproducing it and I'll fix it.
