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

[Bug 178895] Re: Audacity does not mesh with PulseAudio
I agree with Stefan, but I don't know enough about the process here to make the decision to make a new bug. Stephen Irons's description is exactly right (at least for my problem). I don't know if it is related to the original bug or not. Probably it should be its own bug since it happens with or without PulseAudio (I don't have PulseAudio installed on my box). Incidently, the problem seems to be known upstream: http://audacityteam.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18t=128 but I don't think anything has been done about it. From my perspective, jackd should *not* be run by audacity if jack has not been selected as a device. If the user changes from jackd to another device, then jackd should be killed if it was started from audactiy. If it was not started from audacity, it should tell the user to stop the demon before it tries (and fails) to open the device. If audacity starts jackd there should be a way of setting the sample rate in audacity. It also should not let the user pick sample rates that aren't available. So lots of small bugs working together to create the situation where anyone with jackd installed almost certainly won't be able to use audacity (which is ironic given that jackd is the preferred method). -- 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

[Bug 178895] Re: Audacity does not mesh with PulseAudio
Using pasuspender works for me -- if a PulseAudio application is already playing (eg Totem or Rhythmbox), then it stops while Audacity is running and automatically starts again when Audacity ends. Great. However, it does not solve the problem of bug 202791 or 231651, in which Audacity cannot open the sound device. I think the problem there is related to JACK. Audacity supports lots of different sound drivers: OSS, ALSA and in the new version, also JACK. When Audacity starts up, it automatically starts jackd, the JACK daemon with a bunch of standard settings: 48000 samples per second using the default ALSA sound device. So JACK has grabbed the sound device, meaning that neither ALSA nor OSS can use it, and you get 'cannot open device' error. The further problem is that JACK can ONLY work at its configured sample rate, so if your Audacity project is anything other than 48000, it will not play, but gives the 'cannot open device' error. So you have a few options: 1. Change the Audacity project sample rate to the JACK sample rate (default 48000) 2. Change the JACK sample rate to match your Audacity project rate 3. Disable JACK and use ALSA or OSS for audio input and output. 1. is easy to do. However, you have to have JACK configured correctly, especially if you have an older PC, otherwise you will get clicks and noises, caused by JACK 'xruns'. To change the JACK configuration, you need to have a file /etc/jackdrc (a system wide setting that overrides the jackd built in settings) or ~/.jackdrc (a per-user setting that overrides the built-in defaults and /etc/jackdrc). To change the JACK sample rate, create a file called /etc/jackdrc or ~/.jackdrc containing the one line: /usr/bin/jackd -R -T -d alsa -d hw:0 -r 48000 -p 128 -n 3 The number following the -r sets the sample rate. man jackd will get more details about the other options. There are two ways to disable jackd: you can either prevent jackd from starting at all, or you can make jackd use a dummy sound card. To prevent jackd from starting, ensure that /etc/jackdrc or ~/.jackdrc contains an illegal command: my jackdrc contains the line: #/usr/bin/jackd -R -T -d alsa -d hw:0 -r 48000 -p 128 -n 3 Then, in Audacity you will have access to all your ALSA and OSS sound devices, and there will be no JACK device. To make jackd use a dummy sound card, /etc/jackdrc or ~/.jackdrc should contain the line: /usr/bin/jackd -T -d dummy -C 2 -P 2 -r 48000 -p 128 This makes JACK pretend to have a sound card with two inputs (-C 2) and two outputs (-P 2) running at 48000 samples per second. Then in Audacity you will have access to all your ALSA and OSS sound devices, and there will be a JACK device. It will be set to 48000 samples per second and, if your Audacity project sample rate matches this, then you can play and record from this device.

Hello, I can confirm that for me Audacity is able to to plays audio, record audio and both at the same time, and also while playing audio in a Pulsaudio aware application like Totem. On my hardware Audacity looks like he does not care about Pulseaudio. I mean that while playing audio with Audacity the stream does not appear in Pulsaudio volume control. Pulsaudio stay able to increase or decrease the volume on output/input devices while playing and/or recording audio with Audacity. One more information I can still play audio from flash application while playing audio in a Pulsaudio aware application like Totem. But like audacity the stream does not appear in Pulsaudio volume control. So my thinking is that my hardware permit both Alsa direct access and Pulsaudio access.

Well, here's a pulseaudio bug from a year ago: http://www.pulseaudio.org/ticket/50 But I don't think the recording problem got solved. Technically speaking, in terms of an ideal solution, the bug should probably be in PortAudio which fails to have a PortAudio backend, as far as I can tell. However, those error messages, Nick, are probably a result of padsp not performing as expected. (But that may be by design -- it's impossible to emulate mmaped audio through padsp.)

using padsp is better than nothing, it at least allows playing back music (on hardy alpha 6) with default settings no audio output whatsoever (cant test recording sadly) -- 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
[Bug 178895] Re: Audacity does not mesh with PulseAudio
At the following page, it's recommended to stop pulseaudio entirely when running audacity... http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup#Audacity As far as I can tell, in Gutsy, Audacity uses PortAudio as its audio subsystem, and right now PortAudio doesn't appear to support PulseAudio as a backend. Apparently, somebody started work on such a backend (https://tango.0pointer.de/pipermail/pulseaudio- discuss/2007-November/000890.html) but it's not in active development. Personally, I've also found that recording from audacity launched via padsp causes crashes on my system when I record audio (although not when I play audio). While I think configuration might be a factor, the fact that few people have been recommending the use of padsp and audacity makes me think that it's not a supported configuration for one reason or another. -- 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 the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
