#63 Support pulse audio

Bernd Wechner — Tue, 15 Nov 2016 03:03:19 -0000

Hmmm, as I cannot see my comment on th bug above, let me provide some info here to help understand.

Here is what Sweep show sme:

And here is what ALSA lists:

$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: HDMI [HDA Intel HDMI], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC1150 Analog [ALC1150 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 1: ALC1150 Digital [ALC1150 Digital]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 3: Headset [Logitech G930 Headset], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

I'm trying to use the Headseat as I have nothing meaningful connected to the others anyhow and it tests fine with:

$ speaker-test -c 2

speaker-test 1.1.0

Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz)
Buffer size range from 96 to 1048576
Period size range from 32 to 349526
Using max buffer size 1048576
Periods = 4
was set period_size = 262144
was set buffer_size = 1048576
 0 - Front Left
 1 - Front Right
Time per period = 10.939736

Which is by ht eby as I know they work as I'm listening to them the whole time with any other app.

Yet I can't get Sweep to produce any sounds.

Support pulse audio

I would love to see Sweep support sound devices more lucidly than does. Pulse audio support would be awesome for starters, but even listing ALSA devices more lucidly than it does.

I contributed a comment to this bug:

https://sourceforge.net/p/sweep/bugs/52/

Because I can't get any sound output form Sweep in spite fo a fully functional sound system (works in every other conceivable way). But then most apps provide more lucid device selection. And yet, while four devices are available in Sweep, not a wone of them produces any output on my system.

RT plug-in support, JACK

Sweep could be THE audio editor for Gnu, I love its interface and its speed. Professional editing could be a plesure. Two features are missing, though: JACK support is vital, and there should be the possibilty to load plug-ins and listen to audio after realtime processing, not just render-and-check-afterwards...
Really, if Sweep had this features it could even blow W*vel*b!

Video Sync

Adding the ability to display and sync a video alongside the audio would open up sweep for use by indie movie makers that can't afford pro tools and the like.

All that's really required is the ability to play video in sync with the video along with the ability to scrub through the video and audio mix in intervals of frames instead of ms.

I mean, OMF would seal the deal, but that's probably not feasible. And for the meantime, this just requires a little bit of extra work for the editor.

Addition of saveable bookmarks would by really useful for navigating large files.

Windows Dos Binary Port

Audacity can be run on Linux and Windows.
How about porting to Windows or Dos?

zoom & mouse wheel behavior

Anonymous — Sun, 26 Mar 2006 18:44:57 -0000

mouse wheel zooming would be more intuative if zoom-in
was cenetered on the current cursor possition (rather
than the center of the screen).

this would be a great boon in the selection-editing
workflow!
