I know that previous version of Mandrake did have an editor. Darned if I

I don't have much experience with this but you might want to take a look at hackaudacity in 9.1/contrib/. There was some bug in audacity that made hackaudacity a better choice, at the time I looked at it. Here is the qip:

Audacity is a program that lets you manipulate digital audio waveforms.

In addition to letting you record sounds directly from within the
program, it imports many sound file formats, including WAV, AIFF, MP3
and Ogg/Vorbis. It supports all common editing operations such as Cut,
Copy, and Paste, plus it will mix tracks and let you apply plug-in
effects to any part of a sound. It also has a built-in amplitude
envelope editor, a customizable spectrogram mode and a frequency
analysis window for audio analysis applications.

hey Rolf,


The ONLY place I'm seeing that file is in mandrakes contrib? Is that
true, or is there another site you know where it is? My guess is that I'm
going to have the same problem with any. Audacity and another one (I
forget the name right now) are having trouble with sound. The preferences
pull down shows no devices at all and no way to add one that I can see.
Since I run sound constantly I know I'm having now problems with it. I'm
a little perplexed. about what could be wrong.

I am not sure if you installed audacity or hackaudacity. They are both in contrib/:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] MandrakeLinux-9.2rc2]$ urpmq --sources audacity
file://back/contrib/audacity-1.0.0-3mdk.i586.rpm
[EMAIL PROTECTED] MandrakeLinux-9.2rc2]$ urpmq --sources hackaudacity
file://back/contrib/hackaudacity-1.1.0-4mdk.i586.rpm

If you are having trouble with audacity, you might urpme that and urpmi
hackaudacity, or vice versa.  I think I tried audacity first, which
didn't work for me, then, since, like I said, I had read about a bug in
audacity, I tried hackaudacity, which got rolling and let me play with
some editing.  I didn't use it extensively, however, and don't remember
what version I was using.  Try hackaudacity.  The two packages have
conflicting files, so uninstall audacity first.  Sorry I don't know more
than that about it.


What I'm trying to say is that I get >no package named hackaudacity. It isn't in most contrib sites. It must ONLY be at mandrake. ??


Oh, sorry. That's weird. I don't see it on a couple of mirrors I looked at. What I did when 9.1 came out was save my local cooker contrib/ mirror which should have been the same as the release. Maybe something has changed. If you want, I put a copy here: http://home.mindspring.com/~rolfpedersen/hackaudacity-1.1.0-4mdk.i586.rpm
