Hi Peter, I just wanted to comment on ALSA / PulseAudio message, as that is not a WSPR issue at all.
Those types of messages are common. If you ran other GUI based applications from the command line, you would see many different types of messages of this sort. In this particular case, the message your seeing is a Pulse implementation Bug, or at least it was reported as such, and has nothing to do with WSPR. Search Launchpad for the error you are seeing for further info. While it is possible, though I've not looked into it much, Mint may be repackaging PulseAudio, but I seriously doubt it. It is more than likely Ubuntu packaging, which does have it's own implementation of sound control from the original Debian package. 73's Greg, KI7MT On 01/12/2015 02:27 AM, Peter Frenning [OZ1PIF] wrote: > Den 11-01-2015 kl. 10:18 skrev Peter Frenning [OZ1PIF]: >> When starting r4889 to test for the memory leak, I happened to do it from a >> terminal prompt, which I do not normally do. >> I then noticed this errormessage (which may very well have been there prior >> to >> r4889): >> >> ****************************************************************** >> WSPR Version 4.0 r4889, by K1JT >> Run date:Â Â Sun Jan 11 09:00:27 2015 UTC >> Expression 'alsa_snd_pcm_hw_params_set_period_size_near( pcm, hwParams, >> &alsaPeriodFrames, &dir )' failed in 'src/hostapi/alsa/pa_linux_alsa.c', >> line: 924 >> >> It has no apparent consequences for the normal operation of WSPR, but i >> found >> that it has to be reported anyhow. >> >> As always, operating conditions are: Linux Mint Cinnamon 17.1 "Rebecca" >> 32-bit, talking to a SignaLinkUSB (PCM2904 aka USB Audio CODEC) >> -- >> Vy 73 de OZ1PIF/5Q2M, Peter > > Today, when starting up WSPR, there was no such error message, the only > difference I can find, is that today the device happened to wake up as #4 > (hw:2,0), whereas it was #6 (hw:3,0) yesterday! > This inconsistency is really a nuisance (afaik caused by the Linux kernel > design), but somehow delt with, in a more practical manner, in the far newer > QT-based WSJT-X design. > > -- > Vy 73 de OZ1PIF/5Q2M, Peter > > ****************************************** > ** If it sounds too good to be true -- ** > ** it is! ** > ** If it sounds about right -- make ** > ** sure you can afford to be wrong! ** > ** ** > ** -- Robert Heinlein: ** > ** "Time enough for love" ** > ****************************************** > email: peter(no-spamfiller)@frenning.dk > http://www.frenning.dk/oz1pif.htm > Ph. +45 4619 3239/ +45 2332 9464 > Snailmail: > Peter Frenning > Ternevej 23 > DK-4130 Viby Sj. > Denmark > ****************************************** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ New Year.
