Hi I reinstall it on a different machine i got the same error with the nsdfile no warning anymore with audiolab . I followed these points: Requirements¶<http://www.ar.media.kyoto-u.ac.jp/members/david/softwares/audiolab/sphinx/in...> audiolab requires the following softwares: - a python interpreter. - libsndfile - numpy (any version >= 1.2 should work). - setuptools On Ubuntu, you can install the dependencies as follow: sudo apt-get install python-dev python-numpy python-setuptools libsndfile-dev Optional¶<http://www.ar.media.kyoto-u.ac.jp/members/david/softwares/audiolab/sphinx/in...> Audiolab can optionally install audio backends. For now, only alsa (Linux) and Core Audio (Mac OS X) are supported. On Linux, you need alsa headers for this to work; on Ubuntu, you can install them with the following command: sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev For Mac OS X, you need the CoreAudio framework, available on the Apple website. Build¶<http://www.ar.media.kyoto-u.ac.jp/members/david/softwares/audiolab/sphinx/installing.html#build>For unix users, if libsndfile is installed in standart location (eg /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib), the installer should be able to find them automatically, and you only need to do a “python setup.py install” Concerning the eventual site.cfg file i have no idea what to do with this it might be the problem maybe you can give advice? Thank you 2010/5/28 David Cournapeau <cournape@gmail.com>

Thank you for the answer i would love trying audiolab but i got this error while importing i m running python2.6
import audiolab
/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/audiolab-0.0.0-py2.6-linux-i686.egg/audiolab/soundio/play.py:48:
UserWarning: Could not import alsa backend; most probably, you did not have alsa headers when building audiolab
How did you install it ? Your installation looks bogus (if you build it by yourself, please give the *exact* instructions you used)
