[sweep-users] temporary fix for sweep 0.9.2 / libasound2 in ubuntu gusty gibbon

[pete s. <zen...@ze...>]

0.9.2 is available in the universe repository of gusty gibbon (tribe 5 is the latest alpha iirc).
unfortunately, a bug in the libasound2 package prevented
the lfloat plugin from being built and this is required
by sweep so playback crashes sweep. 
as a temporary work around, you can install the libasound2 (and possibly the libasound2-dev package if you need that) from debian, where this problem is fixed.
presumably this will be fixed in the ubuntu packages
at some point. (a bug report has been filed)

deb package is here:
http://packages.debian.org/lenny/i386/libs/libasound2


i've installed this myself and i've not noticed any adverse effects but i don't guarantee that using the deb package won't cause problems. :)

cheers,
pete.
