[sweep-users] sweep 0.9.2-0ubuntu1 crashing under eeeXubuntu

[k9d <cog...@gm...>]

Hi All

For a while now sweep has been my favorite native wav editor when i'm
running linux (wavosaur is my boy when i'm in windows). Now I am
having trouble getting sweep to play audio on my little EEE machine
from ASUS.

The distro I'm running on my EEE is eeeXubuntu (which is based on
Xubuntu 7.10) and I have the following packages installed:

sweep 0.9.2-0ubuntu1
libsndfile1 1.0.17-4
libsamplerate0 0.1.2-5
libtdb 1.1.0-1
libmad0 0.15.1b-21ubuntu1

I don't know if I have GTK2+ installed

When I start sweep I'm able to choose Load existing file -> highlight mp3 -> ok

Sweep is then displaying the wave form and I can play with the menu
options. However, if I try and hightlight the wave form and play the
sound, sweep will instantly crash and disappear.

If I hit Playback -> Play sample I get a dialog "Error opening ALSA
device plughw:0,0 Device or resource busy"

Does anyone know how to trouble shoot this? Should I scrap the
0.9.2-0ubuntu1 deb and just build sweep for myself (maybe worth the
extra effort to be on the bleed edge of updates anyway?)

Thanks in advance and hope to hear back soon!

Jordan
