[linux-audio-user] metronome apps

[Dave Phillips]

Greetings:

  Yesterday I wanted to practice with a metronome, so I decided to
download one of the listings from the Linux Soundapps pages. Alas, I got
no joy:

	1. cmetronome's server is unavailable
	2. gTick wants to use /dev/sequencer and isn't working for me with ALSA
0.9.0beta10
	3. gMetronome is a visual-only metronome and I need sound

So I went looking for something else. I found Metronome on SourceForge,
but its based on gTick and suffers the same poor output. I also found
DiffM, a Java-based metronome that is said to work under Linux, but the
available package only works with MacOS. So I still don't have a
metronome, and I don't feel like compiling Ardour just to use it as a
practice amenity. So, does anyone have a lead to a working software
metronome for Linux ? Does anyone have the sources to cmetronome ? Or is
anyone interested in writing a simple metronome application ?

Back to the hack...
