[Gwc-general] No sound in gwc

[zcx <zc...@hi...>]

Using Ubuntu 10.04LTS to transcribe some old vinyl records.

Can create .wav files successfully using arecord.

Can play these files using aplay, audacious, vlc etc.

Want to use gwc to clean up the .wav files.

Installed gwc from the repos which crashed when I tried to load a .wav 
file.  Removed it.

Downloaded the tar ball and compiled gwc 0.21-12 successfully.

Files now load correctly and all the clean up tools seem to work.

It would be nice to play the .wav files from within gwc while editing, 
but can't seem to get it to work with alsa devices.

$ cat /proc/asound/devices
   2:        : timer
   3:        : sequencer
   4: [ 1- 0]: digital audio playback
   5: [ 1- 0]: digital audio capture
   6: [ 1]   : control
   7: [ 0- 0]: hardware dependent
   8: [ 0- 0]: raw midi
   9: [ 0- 3]: digital audio playback

  15: [ 0]   : control
  16: [ 0- 2]: hardware dependent
  17: [ 0- 1]: raw midi
  18: [ 0- 2]: raw midi

In gwc under settings, miscellaneous, audio device tried all the 
playback devices in the list (e.g. hw:0,0) but get the Warning "Failed 
to open output device: hw:0,0, check settings -> miscellaneous for 
device information" and no sound of course.

Can anyone help please?
