Dear all,
I switched operating systems to Fedora 13 yesterday and it is great, except that I cannot get Pd to address ALSA. The build goes well, no errors, and Pd is there and it looks fine, except when I go to 'Audio settings' the boxes next to input and output are empty. There are no options to select. I have installed every ALSA package that I can find, and still no joy. Any ideas? This is a sample what the console reports during configuration:
per default, Pd uses OSS. you have to manually tell it to use ALSA. Menu->Media->ALSA
or start Pd with "-alsa".
then the audio-menu should list your soundcards (that is: if you have any; can other (alsa) applications play sound?)
checking tcl.h usability... yes checking tcl.h presence... yes checking for tcl.h... yes checking for main in -ltcl85... no checking for main in -ltcl8.5... yes checking for main in -ltk85... no checking for main in -ltk8.5... yes .................... alsa= yes
I find the '....................' before alsa to be troubling.
Anyone know how to fix this?
apply the attached patch, and it should go away.
