Can you do me a favour and record this behaviour? It really shouldn't
step at all - the bands are purely visual, with frequency being
calculated continuously.
I think maybe there could be some difference in compilers and/or
libraries that might be causing something to be an integer that
shouldn't.
Slat Sounds Like A Theremin
Slat 0.4b is up now. It no longer requires ClanLib and the images get
installed properly with make install.
The "b for beta" is there because I've had to leave out the extra
cursor - the one that shows the rotating point.
I'm pretty new to X/imlib programming, and I've run into problems
using imlib_paste_image.
More detail is at
http://blog.dis-dot-dat.net/2005/09/slat-without-clanlib-kde-without.html
There's a commented line that kind of puts the cursor back, but it
behaves strangely.
Everything works without it, so Slat should be perfectly usable.
If anyone has a clue about this, or can spare a few minutes to see if
the same thing happens to them with the extra line in place, I'd be
grateful.

I just downloaded it and tried it on FC1/Planet CCRMA and it works
fine. The only criticism I have is that the bands are a bit too
coarse. If you move the cursor with any speed in the vertical direction
it loses the nice smooth transition and you hear each discrete band
change. Pretty cool though ;-) I had seen an announcement for a
theremin type app when I was on the run from Katrina but I lost the
emails (stupid web mail interface).
I think that counts as exceptional circumstances.
