This is about the original bug; related to PulseAudio. Kevin Kofler has developed a patch that allows Audacity to use non-mmap devices, such as Pulseaudio, as its backend. I've tested this patch, adjusted it slightly, and packaged it for Ubuntu 8.10.
If you like to try it, the simplest way is to install the patched version from my ppa: https://launchpad.net/~diwic/+archive If you'll prefer building it yourself, use the patch attached to this message (the file should be put in debian/patches subdirectory). Notes about this patch: - If the device "Alsa: pulse" was not there before (under Edit->preferences), it should be there now (for both playback and recording). - If playback stutters, try to increase the latency and see if that helps. - Disclaimer: This is not an official Ubuntu patch (yet!), and it has not been widely tested. If it does not work; blame me, not Ubuntu. ;-) ** Attachment added: "portaudio_nonmmap.patch" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20277233/portaudio_nonmmap.patch -- Audacity does not mesh with PulseAudio https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178895 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
