[chuck-users] Problem with multiple audion sources

[Morgan]

My understanding is that chuck and or miniaudicle tries to 'own' your
soundcard... it doesn't like to share.... but these instructions tell
it to route through the mixer software

I had similar issues (on Mint KDE which i believe has alot in common
with KUbunutu), until I found and followed these directions for
editing the audio config before compiling  (from
https://class.coursera.org/chuck101-001/forum/thread?thread_id=130 )
-



"We need to edit one of the files to allow audio mixing through
PulseAudio, so that playing ChucK will not block other audio sources
such as the sound in the course videos.

Use a text-editor (preferably one that shows line-numbers) to open the file:

kate RtAudio/RtAudio.cpp

Find line 5660:

sprintf( name, "hw:%d,%d", card, subdevice );

Revise this to read:

//sprintf( name, "hw:%d,%d", card, subdevice );  // commented out
sprintf( name, "pulse" );

Find line 5699:

int openMode = SND_PCM_ASYNC;

Revise this to read:

int openMode = SND_PCM_ASYNC;
printf( "pcm name %s\n", name );  // line inserted

Save the file and close Kate (or whatever text-editor you used)."


THEN compile etc

I believe these directions should either be part of the linux readme
or better still be scripted into the source... ubuntu/mint being the
most popular distros thse days.
