• Problems with morse (2.5-1): edge and delay

    From Ottavio Caruso@21:1/5 to All on Tue Sep 14 10:00:02 2021
    Hi, I don't know how to explain this and maybe you can tell me how to
    record a sample.

    My system:

    $ uname -a
    Linux e130 4.19.0-14-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.171-2 (2021-01-30) x86_64 GNU/Linux


    I had been using morse (morse-classic) for a while without any issues
    but lately the sound coming from morse has ( I hope I'm using the right
    words) a sharp edge and a small, but fastidious delay. For example I
    launch it as:

    $ morse -rC "kjwsotf" -f `echo $RANDOM % 400 + 500 | bc` -eTBq -w 15
    -F 20 -n 19 -R 5


    The "-f `echo $RANDOM % 400 + 500 | bc`" randomises the frequency of the
    note.

    I have purged and reinstalled both alsa and pulseaudio, created a new
    user, etc, to no avail.

    The only thing that works is:

    - remove the "-f" switch, and
    - use morseALSA instead of morse, like this:

    $ morseALSA -rC "kjwsotf" -eTBq -w 15 -F 20 -n 19 -R 5

    Ao, it looks like there is a problem with pulseaudio and one with the randomised frequency. This is the only application that is giving me
    problems.


    Any input will be appreciated.
