[Dorset] Despair!
The new programme stubbornly refuses to work outside the debugger on 10.04. May be an ALSA version problem.

The little project I've been hammering out over the last four days, some of it in public(my call for assistance Friday night), is ready for Beta. It is a simple on-screen alarm clock, and it is plain, very plain. The display is basic Gtk2 with a few tweaks to force refresh. The alarm tone is provided by a shared library in C using ALSA API. (And I'm happy to report that it was built on 10.10 in ALSA 1.0.23, but is back compatible without re-linking on ALSA 1.0.21(10.04)). The sound files(there is a choice) are own-rolled wavs. The gear is available to anybody who's up for a laugh, at the usual place. ftp.simonoriordan.com user-b...@simonoriordan.com password quixote1112 Look in the Linux Alarm Clock folder, and wherever you link the .so file, keep the wav files local.

Re: [Dorset] Despair!
I didn't blame anything. I merely suggested a path to investigate. That's called using your tools. Oh, and the problem definitely lies with the way I was using ALSA in a .so library. It works fine in the Process-based version. Incidentally, if you are still supporting OSS you've missed the point that ALSA replaced it precisely because it had no support.

Re: [Dorset] Despair!
Absolutely everything to do with it JR; just that my previous experiences hadn't led me to expect any nasties. But I did say release to Beta, when I might have said Alpha. I'm getting some peculiar effects, the ALSA programme doesn't execute in some directories, it does in others, which leads me to believe that there really may be some permission issues with the ALSA/pulse PCM setup. Would appreciate any advice from people who install a lot of software on on Ubuntu, but I should have thought that if everything else I've built worked straight off, the difference is the sound setup permissions.

Ah. Waiting for one of you to spot that. Well done.

Hi Simon, I suspect OSS means Open Source Software in this instance, as opposed to Open Sound System.
