Hi all!
I want to present you wavemixer. It is a multitracks sound editor written with
Gtkmm/Gstreamer. You can edit many file formats like Ogg/vorbis, mp3, wav,
sound parts of video files, ...
File editing in wavemixer is very simple because it's done only with drag'n
drop.
This software allows two principal uses:
- Sample editing: cut/copy/paste, application of effects (LADSPA)
- Mixing mutliples samples on tracks
Wavemixer is a young software, but this release already allows to make many
modifications, in a simple and useful way, like cutting of an audio file,
sound mixing between some samples, etc...
Actually, some package for debian, mandriva and fedora are available from the
website (http://wavemixer.sourceforge.net)
To have all the functionalities of wavemixer, it is necessary to install a
maximum of Gstreamer plugins, this makes it possible to support a maximum of
sound format. Gstreamer allows to automatically launch the previewing feature
of samples in the file explorer and also to load/encode the sound files.

Further testing reveals some oddities.
1) I can only run waveMixer as root, if I run it as a normal user it
segfaults
2) the UI is not in english
3) the preferences option in the window doesn't do anything (brings up
no dialog or window when clicked)
4) double clicking a directory, clicking "home" or entering a path in
the file browser results in a crash:
"*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x08109470 ***
Aborted"
5) dragging a wave from nautilus results in the progress bar moving
about 1/4 of the way then nothing else happens, the program locks up
6) dragging an mp3 results in a crash:
"*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x08109d50 ***
Aborted"
So basically I've not been able to so much as load a file. I'm running
gentoo and built waveMix from source, I can provide any additional
information needed.
I'm not sure what could be wrong on my end, no other apps crash this way
for me. Anyway, I'm still interested in seeing this thing work as it
seems to be heading toward a wavelab replacement.

1) I can only run waveMixer as root, if I run it as a
normal user it
segfaults
I launch it as simple user succesfully on a gentoo 2.4.28 kernel
2) the UI is not in english
not for me
3) the preferences option in the window doesn't do
anything (brings up
no dialog or window when clicked)
this part is not already developped
4) double clicking a directory, clicking
"home" or entering a path in
the file browser results in a crash:
You are probably missing the gstreamer-plugins...
great job Raoul :)

Hi phil,
I think this guy took an older release of wavemixer... All these bugs and
mistakes comes from wavemixer 0.2.
All should be ok if he install wavemixer 0.3 !
0.3 packages are available here :
http://wavemixer.sourceforge.net/index.php?lang=us§ion=download
Regards.

Yes he did get the older version, he was confused by the way the web
site listed the source packages. :P
wavemixer_0.2.tar.gz :: WaveMixer 0.2 Source
wavemixer_0.1.tar.gz :: WaveMixer 0.1 Source
wavemixer-0.3.tar.bz2 :: WaveMixer 0.3 Source
He'll recompile and report back soon.
Thanks,

Hmm... not so helpful. Though I'm glad things are working for you.
1 and 2 still stand, I think I understand you to be saying there is no
preferences dialog? Ok, that's fine 3 can go to the side for now.
As for number 4, I have about 15 of the 32 gst-plugin* packages for
gentoo installed, are there some specific one's I need to prevent a
crash when browsing/loading files?
I guess I'll tackle the rest of the problems once I can load files.

Hi ryan,
All these bugs and mistakes comes from an old release of wavemixer (0.2)
It should be ok if you install the latest package (0.3) available here :
http://wavemixer.sourceforge.net/index.php?lang=us§ion=download

Raoul.
