[Ping]
Okay, i just discovered sunau.py. Here's my real shot at test_linuxaudiodev.py. Can you give this a try?
Didn't work -- even after I changed has_key(formats, ...) to formats.has_key(...). Here's what I get:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "test_linuxaudiodev-ping.py", line 37, in ? test() File "test_linuxaudiodev-ping.py", line 35, in test play_au_file(findfile('audiotest.au')) File "test_linuxaudiodev-ping.py", line 26, in play_au_file raise "audio format not supported by linuxaudiodev" audio format not supported by linuxaudiodev
Sheesh, you'd think that plain old "Sun/NeXT audio data: 8-bit ISDN u-law, mono, 8000 Hz" (this is what "file" reports on "audiotest.au") would be supported. ;-)
So I tried Michael Hudson's version. It also failed, but in a more interesting way. There mere traceback is not enough, but it's a start:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "test_linuxaudiodev-hudson.py", line 62, in ? test() File "test_linuxaudiodev-hudson.py", line 60, in test play_au_file(findfile('audiotest.au')) File "test_linuxaudiodev-hudson.py", line 55, in play_au_file dsp.write(data) linuxaudiodev.error: (11, 'Resource temporarily unavailable')
Here's the sequence of events I get:
* run Michael's version of test_linuxaudiodev.py * it *immediately* dumps the above traceback, but does not return me to my shell prompt * Cardinal Fang *does* start his famous proclamation, and it sounds right (same as I get from "play audiotest.au") * but it's truncated about 3/4 of the way through: "Nobody expects the Spani----" * and then Python terminates with exit status 1 (presumably due to the traceback)
Very curious! I know next-to-nothing about both Python's exception handling, sound drivers on Linux, and PC audio hardware. Any speculation I might offer would probably be useless, so I will merely comment that this is indeed curious.
