Package: praat Version: 6.1.38-1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: cast...@castedo.com
Dear Maintainer, The praat package does not list libasound2-plugins as a dependency. But in order to record sounds in an environment with PulseAudio, I believe it is required. The libasound2-plugins package contains a plugin for: 'pulse: play or capture via Pulse Audio'. When installing praat (bullseye) inside a container, I discovered that it was necessary to also install the libasound2-plugins package in order for recording of sound to work in praat. This is unusual environment: a Linux (docker) container with no sound card but with a PulseAudio domain socket available. Perhaps the responsibility is on the user of such an environment to make sure that libasound2-plugins is already installed. On the other hand, praat does take advantage of the plugin installed by libasound2-plugins and this makes possible recording functionality that otherwise does not work (albeit a corner case environment). I'm happy to provide more details on the container environment. -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.18.0-305.25.1.el8_4.x86_64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: unable to detect Versions of packages praat depends on: ii libasound2 1.2.4-1.1 ii libc6 2.31-13+deb11u2 ii libcairo2 1.16.0-5 ii libgcc-s1 10.2.1-6 ii libglib2.0-0 2.66.8-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.24.24-4 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.46.2-3 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.46.2-3 ii libpulse0 14.2-2 ii libstdc++6 10.2.1-6 ii libx11-6 2:1.7.2-1 ii oss-compat 7 ii python3 3.9.2-3 praat recommends no packages. praat suggests no packages. -- debconf information excluded
