Partial success getting PYO to work: help needed!

PYO now works on my system.

I updated some code in sound/backend_pyo.py to this:


        # create the instance of the server:
        if platform in ['darwin', 'linux2']:
            # for mac/linux we set the backend using the server audio param
            pyoSndServer = Server(sr=rate, nchnls=maxChnls,
                                  buffersize=buffer, audio=audioDriver)
        else:
            # with others we just use portaudio and then set the OutputDevice
            # below
            pyoSndServer = Server(sr=rate, nchnls=maxChnls, buffersize=buffer, winhost='asio', duplex=0)

        pyoSndServer.setVerbosity(1)
        if platform == 'win32':
            pyoSndServer.setOutputDevice(outputID)
            if inputID is not None:
                pyoSndServer.setInputDevice(inputID)
        # do other config here as needed (setDuplex? setOutputDevice?)
        pyoSndServer.setDuplex(0)
        pyoSndServer.boot()

I’ve made two changes, adding winhost=‘asio’, duplex=0 to the server instantiation and hard-coding 0 in the pyoSndServer.setDuplex(0) call.

Jon - since it seems a few other people have experienced problems like this, would you like me to issue a pull request to configure duplex/ASIO in PYO?

I imagine it would look something like adding a global preference setting for a) duplex and b) Windows audio host (winhost parameter to PYO server), then updating backend_pyo.py to pay attention to this.

If you think this is a good idea, let me know where in the code you deal with preferences, and I’ll issue a PR.

Cheers,
