So, after the last update, I appear to be using python version 3, and everything is still working fine. For arch users then, they only need to install one item from the AUR, and that is: python-pyalsaaudio There is another similar wrapper, python2-pyalsaaudio, which is not essential for arch users, now that the new release of sam defaults to python3. Nice work, Willem. Chuck -- Here In Northeast Ohio, The Moon is Waxing Crescent (38% of Full) If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.
