I've been trying to figure out why I get no audio output on the Raspberry
Pi and have found out that it seems to be related to threading.

After liberal sprinkling of qDebug() in the code to see what was happening
and in what order things were called I figured out that the Modulator code
was never run after pressing tune.
The first press of the Tune button will lead to the call of
Modulator::tune() but after that no code in Modulator was run.
Repeated click on Tune would not result in the tune signal being processed
by Modulator::tune.

I then noticed that soundOutput, modulator, soundInput and detector were
all moved to the m_audioThread in mainwindow.cpp.
After some trial and error I found out that by not moving the m_modulator
to the m_audioThread (commenting out  m_modulator->moveToThread
(&m_audioThread);) would "solve" the no-audio generated on Tune.
I can now press Tune repeatedly and always get sound in my audio device.

I don't know if this is a proper solution.

Also, I can't find where the m_audioThread is constructed in the code.
Adding an initializer for it to construct it in the MainWindow constructor
does not help.

Hope someone who knows the code better than me can help me in the right
direction. This seems to be a threading issue, priorities and/or a locking
issue?

Thanks and 73
