I'm a novice Python programmer who wants to use Snatch. I have everything installed correctly as far as I can tell. But when I try to play something I get an error that says I failed to set the number of channels. Here's what I get:
from Tkinter import * root = Tk() import tkSnack tkSnack.initializeSnack(root) snd=tkSnack.Sound() snd.read('/usr/games/chromium/data/wav/music_game.wav') snd.play() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/tkSnack.py", line 277, in play self.tk.call((self.name, 'play') + self._options(kw)) TclError: Failed setting number of channels.
Any help will be most welcome.

I've only tried to use snack once and had a similar problem playing sound files (although I did get it to generate nice tones). I resorted to using an external command for playing sound files (I use artsplay, because I run artsd for my sound system under Linux). I just used os.system() to fork the sound playing commands. Unfortunately, it's not portable, but it was quick and easy. I needed it as a replacement for Winsound on Linux. --John billwinn@u.washington.edu wrote:

I'm not a Snack expert, but have you tried with a different file other than '/usr/games/chromium/data/wav/music_game.wav' ? Perhaps this file uses more sound channels than your hardware have.
