[gentoo-user] No sound from audacity...

[tuxic]

Hi,

got a strange problem with audacity:
I did:
Load a *.wav file into audacity (it contains sound as visible in audacity 
Menu->Select->Select all
Press play bottom

Nothing

This is printed on the console:

Expression 'framesAvail' failed in 
'/var/tmp/portage/media-libs/portaudio-19.06.00-r3/work/portaudio/src/hostapi/alsa/pa_linux_alsa.c',
 line: 3625

My installation is:

Playback works fine using mpv, Firefox, etc...only audacity has a
problem.

Is it hardwired to pulseaudio?

Cheers!
