Hi,
when I try to record with snd by selecting record in the file menu, the
record window opens but freezes without properly displaying the
controls. Recording with other tools like sweep works without any problems.
I am using RedHat 8.0 and installed the kernel and alsa drivers from
planet ccrma.
Any clues?

What soundcard are you using?

Hi Ralf,
I have had the same problem with the snd program that you describe.
This seems to be caused when the soundcard is already opened by
another program.
Make sure nothing else has opened the soundcard.

Hi Ivan,
that's not the case here. Trying record with snd on a freshly booted
system still freezes snd...

Ralf,
Would you describe your desktop? Is it booting into kde, gnome,
etc..?
Even after a clean boot, say if you are in kde, it may grab the
soundcard on you. (I had to go into sound config and tell the
soundserver to 'suspend' after 5 seconds of inactivity. By default it
sets to something like 60 seconds or never, in which case, it would
keep the card happily locked forever...) -- this is specific to kde.
Try to open the card manually from the command with the snippet of ruby
code below. If this just freezes and never comes back then the
soundcard is being held by something else...

Hi Ivan,
I am using the KDE desktop. I changed the settings of the sound server
like you said. Snd still freezes, whereas your ruby scripts runs fine
without freezing.

I am using the KDE desktop. I changed the settings of
the sound server
like you said. Snd still freezes, whereas your ruby scripts runs fine
without freezing.
I just tested it, and the latest version indeed freezes the desktop in
my computer when opening the recorder window. I tried on a couple of
other computers (using the same soundcard) and it did not freeze! (I
initially thought this was going to be an alsa programming problem with
your particular soundcard). Very strange...
I managed to get control of the desktop by switching to a text console
and killing -9 the snd processs.

Hi Fernando,
on my computer it freezes the snd windows only, not the whole desktop.
Do you have other versions of snd on planet ccrma? Maybe it's only that
partucular version or build?

The latest version on planet ccrma is snd-6.7-1...
Sorry but I have not had time to even try to debug this.
