Thanks it is always good to hear that :-)
2. Audio::*
Perl modules.
I like your Audio::Play module, it's the only Perl module I've been able to
find that actually *works* for
playing audio on Linux (Audio::DSP apparently has memory leaks, and Audio::OSS
is just too complicated, and seriously lacking documentation).
I didn't have any trouble on SuSE8.2 on the laptop either, it started when I
did an upgrade to SuSE9.0. The desk top is still on 8.2 and still works.
Both have existing /dev/dsp style backends at
present, which have been
working fine. But recently (SuSE 9.0 install?) when run under ALSA emulation
of /dev/dsp they both started producing segfaults - "after program had
exited", (neither valgrind nor gdb can give any info on the fault).
I cannot reproduce this on Suse 8.2 with an M-Audio Delta 66 card, but that
card has other problems with the OSS emulation - I can only get it to play to
ALL channels at once, which is kind of annoying when you have 6 out channels.
