Re: [Scidvspc-users] Scid vs. PC 4.12 release candidates

[Dale H. <dal...@go...>]

Hi Steve,

Just tried this, I get two options: default and plughw:0. Default gives the
first word only and nothing else while plughw:0 causes the following error:

Could not open plughw:0 for write.
Could not open plughw:0 for write.
    while executing
"$sound play -blocking 0 -command "incr ::utils::sound::isPlayingSound -1""
    (procedure "::utils::sound::PlaySoundQueue" line 9)
    invoked from within
"::utils::sound::PlaySoundQueue"
    ("after" script)
