Bug#979180: Twinkle

2021-01-06 Thread ael
I have attempted to compile a newer version of twinkle, but
libzrtpccp has been removed from testing which is needed.
I hope that I can find or compile a version of that which will enable
further progress.



Bug#979180: twinkle: Cannot open ALSA driver ...

2021-01-03 Thread ael
Package: twinkle
Version: 1:1.10.2+dfsg-1
Severity: normal

When twinkle starts it is unable to access the ALSA devices:

-
Critical: Cannot open ALSA driver for PCM playback: Device or resource busy

Sun 21:07:45
Critical: Cannot open ALSA driver for PCM playback: Device or resource busy

Sun 21:07:45
Critical: Cannot open ALSA driver for PCM playback: Device or resource busy

Linphone and other sound applications have no such problem. And no, I
was not running linphone at the same time.

I am very rusty on ALSA, so have not done any diagnostics so far.
alsa-info did not seem to include anything useful.
aplay -l gave:

And it is card 0: that I am using.

The twinkle audio settings take the form:

(I did leave a very brief comment on the twinkle github.)
