Chuck on Linux > LIBSND errors

[ultrasine]

Hi All,

I'm trying to get chuck working fully on my RHEL machine. I can get everything working apart from playing audio files (wavs), example script:

sndbuf buf => dac;
"/tmp/1.wav" => buf.read;
while( true )
{
0 => buf.pos;
std.rand2f(.2,.9) => buf.gain;
std.rand2f(.5,1.5) => buf.rate;
100::ms => now;
}

Initially the problem was with the libsndfile.so file. I downloaded and recompiled this. Then edited the makfile.oss to uncomment some lines and reinstalled chuck.
But now I get the following when I run the script:

[chuck](VM): sporking incoming shred: 1 (buf1.ck)...
[chuck](via sndbuf): sndfile error '3' opening '/tmp/1.wav'...
[chuck](via sndbuf): (reason: Supported file format but file is malformed.)

The wav file plays in other apps - so I'm abit lost.

Some questions:

1) I am using 'make linux-oss' - how do I know which sound systems I have installed?
2) Is my wav file malformed or something else is not setup correctly?

If any of you guys are using linux and overcome the above problems I'd appreciate some guidance. Chuck seems to rock and would like to experiment with it.

Cheers,

UM.

Thanks Man! I used the wav files that came with chuck and the script works! I got myself a chuck on steroids now! kinda chuck norris!

I could slap the dodgy star trek wavs I downloaded - bah!

Dodgy wav files have been sent to the black hole. They don't deserve to be converted.

Adios amigo!
