Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] PS3 success with audio

[Robert McGwier]

We definitely have work to do.  Portaudio is the ONLY thing I can get to 
work the PS3 sound system but not in gnuradio.

The pieces in the bin directory for testing portaudio that open the sink 
only work.  I can produce tones,  hundreds of tones,  do latency tests, etc.

gr-audio-XXX fails in all cases, including gr-audio-portaudio.

I do not believe this is a python issue but I am unsure.  The error 
message is a bit strange.

If you download the svn for portaudio, and do configure; make; sudo make 
install,  it puts the portaudio-2.0.pc in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig 
unless you specify another prefix.  Portaudio is working on the ps3 and 
the files in bin that begin patest_(produce a sinusoid of some type) 
make tones and work.
