| Hi Tito,
I tested just now in Ubuntu 11.10. I had the API turned off, and I
did not see any zombie csound processes. Are you running with
displays on by chance? (I tested with displays off).
An interesting thing happened though, performance quite bad with
constant buffer underruns. I expected some considering I am running
this in VirtualBox on my Mac. However, the interesting thing was that
when I switched to using -+rtaudio=alsa and used -odac:hw:0,0 I got
perfectly fine output. I did switch to ksmps=64, but I did so for the
entire test. Using -+rtaudio=pa_bl or -+rtaudio=pa_cb, even if I
chose the device that listed as hw:0,0 I got buffer underruns. Same
buffer settings for each.
So, on Linux, I am not sure why I was getting this behavior with
PortAudio driver. To note, I was using the Csound that is included in
apt-get, which is only 5.13.
Sidenote: to run with the API, blue needs to be able to find the
lib_jcsound.so. The one installed from apt-get installs to
/usr/lib/jni, so the blue/etc/blue.conf needs to be updated for that
(as mentioned here:
http://blue.kunstmusik.com/wiki/index.php/Installation#Linux). That's
for Debian/Ubuntu at least, but the general modification is the same.
After that, the API is turned on and off for use from the program
options (Tool->Options) or from the Projects menu.
As for Common Lisp, if you want, you can write Lisp within an
"External" or "ObjectBuilder" soundObject if you want to use lisp to
generate scores but want to take advantage of the timeline in blue.
Otherwise, thanks!
steven
