Hi people,

I have to do

declare -x OPCODEDIR=/usr/local/lib/Csound/

or my csound5 won't find its dynamically loaded libs. Seems to be a
minor mishap. The configured module path should be delivered as a
define, which i couldnt find happening.

And then, for some reason, the -odac (wondered a bit why the space isnt
ok anymore) sound output is heavily distorted (I've ruled out endianness
problems by using 8-bit). It sounds like overflows happening. Using the
realtime alsa module works, though.

Greetings,
   Basti

It should be OK as -o dac (with a space); I have just tested it with
the current CVS sources.

The default PortAudio output device uses the OSS /dev/dsp interface.
Try using a different device number (-o dac1, -o dac2, etc.). If you
still get buffer underruns, try increasing the buffer sizes.

It obviously works now, but it behaved differently with or without space
once while trying out, that made me wonder lots.

Not underruns, overflows! (127+1 = -128 etc.) The timing is ok in alsa,
just when i use the default -odac (which is /dev/dsp?), the sound is
distorted (not a *click* now and then, just noise with barely audible
remains of what i wanted to play). -o dac1 works, though (didnt know
that you can do that).

I didnt have these phenomenons in csound4.

Other than that, i'm very happy with csound5, startup is much quicker,
and i'm very eager to try the new python stuff.

This may be caused by a bug in older versions of PortAudio v19.
I also encountered it, but after updating PortAudio the problem
was fixed.

Csound 4 does not use PortAudio; it only uses the OSS /dev/dsp directly.
