Package: puredata Version: 0.43.0-4 Severity: grave Tags: upstream Puredata locks up when toggling DSP on/off, and it opens/closes its jackd connections. There are also problems running jackd asynchronously, with lots of error messages.
What makes this bug grave is that most default Debian installs are running pulseaudio which is a required dependency for the default desktop, and most workstations only have one audio device. Pulseaudio is very hard to kill off, being restarted automatically when it is not there. Puredata works with its ALSA drivers, but you cannot use those drivers with pulseaudio hogging the audio devices. Jackd2 can be installed and run from qjackctl, which is what you expect if you want performance audio, but then puredata will not work properly due to its bug jack implementation. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.1.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_NZ.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages puredata depends on: ii puredata-core 0.43.0-4 ii puredata-dev 0.43.0-4 ii puredata-doc 0.43.0-4 ii puredata-extra 0.43.0-4 ii puredata-gui 0.43.0-4 ii puredata-utils 0.43.0-4 Versions of packages puredata recommends: ii gem 1:0.92.3-2+b1 Versions of packages puredata suggests: pn pd-aubio <none> pn pd-csound <none> pn pd-pdp <none> pn pd-zexy <none> -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
