[Portaudio] Portaudio "queries" on ARM

[Ajay Garg]

Hi all.

My original aim is to run "Import Audio" in audacity; on ARM architecture.
However, the error messages that appear seem to be related to portaudio.

As part of my efforts,

a)
I downloaded and built "Portaudio" on ARM, from
http://www.portaudio.com/archives/pa_stable_v19_20111121.tgz.






b)
I then ran

"./configure --with-alsa"
"make"
"sudo make install"






c)
"/bin/pa_devs" gave the output

e)
As a side note, I am not able to hear any echoed voice via "arecord | aplay".





f)
However, if I do "aplay <uncompressed mp3>", I can listen to playing music;
however the same does not work for a conventional, compressed mp3.



So, I will be grateful, if someone could please let me know as to
which part should I investigate into :: portaudio, or alsa.


Will be grateful for a reply.


Thanks and Regards,
Ajay
