Re: Speech-friendly alsa mixer (sam) released, testers needed

Hi Didier,
I am glad to here it works with Slint.
About the name:
I just had to call it something, I am open to suggestions for a better name. First it was console_mixer_alsa, but that was long and not too descriptive. Hopefully, most people would not need to install using the tar file, but perhaps I were too precise.
https://pypi.org/project/pyalsaaudio/#files is likely enough.
I am used to python2, but I suppose I should look into changing the code so that it can work on both.
If there is enough interest in the program I will make time to do it.

I will see what the feedback is and let you know, but you are welcome to package whenever you want.
Kind regards, Willem

Hello Willem,

sam works on Slint64-14.2.1.2 using any console screen reader. Well, at
least with espeakup, speechd-up and fenrir <smile>.

I still have to test with several sound cards, will do in a qemu VM.

Congrats!

I will package it for Slint as soon as you tell it's ready for release.

Some minor remarks:
1. There is a software called SAM (mind the capital letters):
https://github.com/s-macke/SAM
Isn't there a risk of confusion?
2. in README.md you wrote:
3. Alternatively, grab the tar.gz from https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/52/b6/44871791929d9d7e11325af0b7be711388dfeeab17147988f044a41a6d83/pyalsaaudio-0.8.4.tar.gz
But there is a SHA256SUM on this page that the reader could miss:
https://pypi.org/project/pyalsaaudio/#files
Maybe it's not accessible though as it's not an hyperlink, the html code for it is the 4 following line:
<a class="-js-copy-hash table__sha256-link tooltipped tooltipped-s" aria-label="Copy to clipboard" data-original-label="Copy to clipboard" data-clipboard-text="84e8f8da544d7f4bd96479ce4a237600077984d9be1d7f16c1d9a492ecf50085">
                     <i class="fa fa-copy" aria-hidden="true"></i>
                     <span class="sr-only">Copy SHA256 hash</span>
                     SHA256
                   </a>
not sure what to do here...
3. Maybe you could consider porting sam to python3? pyalsaudio can be
built for python3, but TBH that's all I know, I didn't try to use it so.

Best,

Didier

OK, I made the change to use python2 and uploaded again.
HTH, Willem

I am using arch, and had to use pyalsaaudio from the AUR to satisfy the
requirements for sam, but on first executing it, I get this:

[groucho@workshop ~]$ sam
  File "/usr/local/bin/sam", line 152
    print ''
           ^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean
print('')?
[groucho@workshop ~]$


Any suggestions? Looks like an interesting idea.

This is a python2 vs python3 issue.

Okay, that's helpful. Arch names the different pythons python2 and
python.  Not sure if debian does it that way, or calls them python and
python3. .

It's python (for python2) and python3 for now.
sam should use python2 explicitly until being compatible with python3
(which should probably not be very hard)
