On 07 January 2003, Guido van Rossum said:

It should work, except setup.py hasn't been fixed to build it. Here's a patch:

Err, yeah, I have a similar patch on my local copy, but I haven't checked it in yet because of this:

Also, I note that the compilation of ossaudiodev should really be dependent on the existence of either <linux/soundcard.h> (Linux) or <machine/soundcard.h> (BSD).

and, come to think of it, this:

However, then the test suite fails:

$ ./python ../Lib/test/regrtest.py testossaudiodev.py testossaudiodev test testossaudiodev produced unexpected output: ********************************************************************** *** lines 2-7 of actual output doesn't appear in expected output after line 1:

is another good reason not to check that setup.py change in. ;-) That one's easy: I never copied output/test_linuxaudiodev to output/test_ossaudiodev. Done now, trying it out, will check in soon.

I'll let someone else worry about activating ossaudiodev on FreeBSD.

What's up with that, Greg? I've seen tons of checkins to ossaudiodev -- how close is it to completion?

I'm fairly happy with the code now. (I think -- haven't looked at it since last week.) Have some preliminary docs supplied by the guy who wrote the mixer interface (Nick FitzRoy-Dale) that I have to look at and beef up. I also have crazy ideas about writing an extensive, and noisy, test script that would go in Tools or sandbox or something. But the module itself is pretty good now.
