We are also having this problem in rezound on Feisty on every machine we have tried. It crashes as soon as you try to record with a segfault. Trying to compile rezound from source results in the same exact issue. My guess is that one of the dependencies of rezound is a newer version in Feisty and that dependency, whatever it is, has changed in a way that breaks rezound. Heck, it might even be a kernel change. The reason the segfault happens appears to be because rezound screws up while reading from /dev/dsp. Perhaps the buffer it is reading into gets broken, or perhaps it is reading improperly. I can't tell.
Also, I can say that rezound --audio-method=alsa has not worked to solve this problem. I have tried it on many different Feisty machines, and it crashes just the same as when using the default of OSS. However, there is a way to get rezound to work. The way is to use jack. Do the following if you don't have jack working already. sudo apt-get install qjackctl qjackctl # push the start button rezound --audio-method=jack Now rezound will be able to work properly without crashing. Using jack should also give you some measure of enhanced performance. This will be especially true if you have the low-latency audio stuff in the kernel, or if you use UbuntuStudio, which has the low-latency stuff by default. Regardless, I think this bug needs increased priority. Rezound is the only halfway decent single-track audio editor for Linux, and it's the only free open source one in existence. Multi-track editors like Jokosher or Audacity just do not cut it compared to Rezound, especially when it comes to thinks like podcasting. Not having this application work in Ubuntu Feisty is a pretty big deal. -- Crashes when trying to record (Segmentation Fault) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/64630 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
