Bumping this, pulseaudio support in 0.5.1 is a very important feature. Still no news on this? Still no news on this? Created attachment 703766 [details] specfile patch Just for grins, I spun a scratch build of 0.5.1 at: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=5063072 My spec-fu is a little stale, but it built and installed ok on my F17 system. Anybody with a little more skill in these things willing to take a look and push the changes to rawhide if they look sane? I've attached a diff of the spec changes I made. Hm, this bug was assigned to the previous owner (this is why I didn't notice it right away). I see you've built in pulseaudio support, I want to check if it's feasible to have this modular somehow. (In reply to comment #5) > I see you've built in pulseaudio support, I want to check if it's feasible > to have this modular somehow. Yeah, that's why I wanted the update, so I just did it unconditionally. :) You mean you'd like to have it use pulse if it's there but not require it? Dave, thanks for the heads-up. Apparently gtick doesn't use modules for OSS, alsa, pulseaudio, etc. This is something upstream should think about if they add jack support at some point... Anyway, I've kust kicked off builds of 0.5.1 in F17..Rawhide, with some additional modifications: - don't manually require pulseaudio -- it gets pulled in via the linked libraries - build with libsndfile, allowing custom "click" sounds, fix a crash related to that I have just installed F17 build from koji, and it seems to work fine... except one thing. Click sound is really ugly. On another machine, I have gtick 0.5.1 built from source, and it sounds different with the same settings. (In reply to comment #7) > - build with libsndfile, allowing custom "click" sounds, fix a crash related > to that The default and sine settings in F17 build from koji work nicely for me. I do get a not entirely reproducible segfault with custom click sounds, but since that feature isn't available at all in the 0.4.2 build, I don't think that should stop updating 0.5.1. I'll file a separate BZ about it. The crash is at dsp.c:250 which is the code that handles the case in which a custom click sound sample needs to be mixed down. I have to admit I don't fully understand what it's doing or why sometimes mixdown is required and sometimes not, but gtick seems to crash reliably when it thinks mixdown is required. I'm pretty sure that feature is not going to be stable in 0.5.1, so you might consider compiling it out until someone can figure out what's going on and patch it. OTOH, there's an easy workaround: don't use custom click sounds. gtick-0.5.1-1.fc17 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 17. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/gtick-0.5.1-1.fc17 gtick-0.5.1-1.fc18 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 18. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/gtick-0.5.1-1.fc18 (In reply to comment #8) > I have just installed F17 build from koji, and it seems to work fine... > except one thing.

(How) does this other machine differ from the machine you tried the F17 build on? How is the F17 click "ugly", while the other one isn't (just describe how both sound to you). Did you have the same issue with 0.4.x? Thanks.

OTOH, there's an easy workaround: don't use custom > click sounds. Hmm, I haven't seen another crash after I fixed the one I saw (if no valid sound file is configured). I've also left the feature in, as the workaround is easy :-). I'd be happy for another report, if there's a way for me to reproduce it.
