Hi

You have two different problems:

> mkdir: cannot create directory `~.horgand': File exists

Seems you have installed a patched packaged old version that renames the 
original .Horgand file for .horgand, then the lstests versions will fail, to 
solve do the following:

go to:  

~/.fltk/horgand.berlios.de/  

and remove the file horgand.prefs

also you need to remove the file:

~/.horgand


Is important you do that because the first time horgand runs copy some 
important files to the work directory.

Also seems you have a patched ALSA package too, or maybe a not normal ALSA 
config,  IIRC in ALSA plughw is the default alsa device.

Please first remove the files as I was explain in this message then you can do 
many things to solve, horgand by default runs on ALSA on the first time, then 
if can not locate the default device fails, and that it's the problem.


If you want to run horgand in ALSA you will need to modify the sources.
Look at file located in the src directory named " organAudioOut.C"

edit the line 132

sprintf (pcm_name, "plughw:0,0");

replace plughw:0,0 with you device name ... maybe hw:0,0 .. or something like 
that, then recompile the sources.

If you dont want to run horgand in ALSA you can edit the file:

~/.fltk/horgand.berlios.de/horgand.prefs

change the line:

Audio Out device:Alsa

with

Audio Out device:Jack
or
Audio Out device:OSS



Hope that will work :)

Thanks for your interest.
