The new Portaudio stable release is here. Direct download link: http://www.portaudio.com/archives/pa_stable_v190600_20161030.tgz That said, I think I found another place where Portaudio's alsa code can lock up. It only happened to me once, after many weeks of testing the Portaudio fixes. I submitted a patch, and it is in Portaudio's git repo. Unfortunately Portaudio devs were very leary of merging it so close to release time, so it didn't make it into the release. Here's a direct link to that patch: https://lists.columbia.edu/pipermail/portaudio/2016-October/000902.html And here's a link to the discussion that led to it: https://lists.columbia.edu/pipermail/portaudio/2016-October/000895.html Peace, -- Chris _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup
