Seems to be fine on kde-3.5.10 with Portaudio-19-262.4, portaudio-
devel-19.527.8, audacity-1.3.12-2.pm.2.4 and jack-0.116.2-7.5.

You could try reinstalling all the above (not kde of course)..

Or, if you're really adventurous than download the source and try
compiling/building. Watch the result of './configure' to see what you
are missing, if anything. Watch to see if 'make' completes... You could
even install in the default location (/usr/local) and try runnig this
version IF it compiles. This is all just to determine what the problem
is on YOUR system. Could be the uninstalling/reinstalling with the
package manager MIGHT fix things and is probably easier than compiling.

Just a thought...

td4123435.html


Seems you're not alone. A search for:

Expression 'stream->capture.pcm' failed in 'src/hostapi/alsa/
pa_linux_alsa.c', line: 3653


on Google returns a lot of reports of problems.. But it does work on MY
system so it seems to be a individual system dependent problem.... Just
take a look at those search results and you'll see...

funny when i do an update audacity does not show up.

go here

http://packman.mirrors.skynet.be/pub/packman/suse/11.2/i586/

This is funny i went to packman and put in audacity
and the version shown is audacity-1.3.12-2.pm.2.4.i586.rpm
so i done a one click install. and YaST2 gives me the address
above.

i went to the above address and scrolled down to audacity
and it shows the version audacity-1.3.11-1.pm.1.4.i586.rpm.

i will leave the rest to you. This is the version that i have
working.
