(hence the problems with ardour too) if you want, mail me off list and i'll try and help track down the problem. also note that sweep has it's own mailing lists so you can post there about sweep issues too. see: http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=4854 > now back to sweep - if i start it with prefix, everything looks good, > but when i press play, nothing happens, and i get this in a console: > > 'sweep: alsa_setup: audio interface does not support host endian 32 bit > float samples (Invalid argument)' > > no idea what is wrong here the file is a regular wav: it's not the file. i assume you are using ubuntu gusty gibbon (or some derivative), as the libasound2 package on gutsy is missing the float capability required by sweep. still no sign of a fixed package for gutsy. i should chase it up really. try getting this and installing it: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/i386/libasound2/download (just dl it and if it doesn't offer to open it with gdebi, install with sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/libasound2_1.0.15-3ubuntu4_i386.deb (or where ever you downloaded it to) cheers, pete. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
