Re: [PD] oss not working full duplex - Pd-list

23 Dec 2001


      hi again,
sorry, i was wrong, PD CAN compile
with a native ALSA support provided you 
do the following :
a/ install and compile 
alsa-driver and alsa-lib.
( my first error report came 
from the fact alsa-lib was
not installed, yes, i'm a beginner
with ALSA ).
b/ next, you should change 
the following line in s_linux.c :
#include <sys/asound.lib>
with 
#include <alsa/asoundlib.h>
Then it works.
Good luck.
Yves/

hi,
someone replied to this message by saying
  that there ain't any compiling problem with ALSA
  so i've checked twice :
  pd 0-34-3 or pd 0-35-test3 will not compile with ALSA
  v0.9.0 beta9 nor v0.9.0 beta10, sorry.
  It cannot compile since there ain't any 
  asoundlib.h in ALSA releases anymore.
I think the misunderstanding spread from the fact 
  that if you don't issue a
  "./configure --enable-alsa" command,
  the configure script will not try to detect ALSA
  and what you really do is compiling PD 
  with OSS emulation mode,
  which works with any version.
So, I think most people use OSS emulation mode
  without knowing it.
btw, i don't think this mode
  introduces a lot of latencies
  ( i don't have too many on a Celeron 800 ).
cheers,
Yves\\

Hi all,
I think someone on this list reported that Pd 0.34 doesn't compile
with ALSA 0.9 beta9.  I'm using 0.9beta7 here.  I'll try to work
out the problems in 0.9B9 for the next release...  meantime, if your
soundcard is supported in 0.9B7 I'd recommend trying to use that...
cheers
Miller
