Subject: [Vm-dev] Sound is working on 64-bit Linux now Reply-To: Squeak Virtual Machine Development Discussion <vm-dev@lists.squeakfoundation.org
See http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=7103
With these changes, sound works on 64-bit Linux ALSA and OSS for both 32-bit and 64-bit images. There are changes to Cross/plugins/SoundPlugin/ SoundPlugin.h so some updates will be required for win32 and Mac OS (minor changes to pass pointers properly).
Dave
Yay!

Hi Bert,
Good news.
And thanks for your help on the squeak dev list threads about this.
The problem isn't actually solved until the distribution is in place. I have not heard one word from a human in response to my additions to the ubuntu bug report.
I presume with Jose's involvement the fixes will show up on down stream Debian distributions.
Yours in curiosity and service, --Jerome Peace

You're welcome. But actually, this is unrelated.

Just to clarify, and so that expectations are realistic: There are probably a few more steps that should happen before the Linux distributions are updated. The Squeak VM needs to work for Windows, Mac, and Linux users alike, and several people are involved in doing these updates (there may be some vacation and work schedules to consider here too).
While not strictly necessary, I expect that Linux package maintainers would want to build packages from known-good versions of the sources, and that means that someone is creating the actual C source code to be used in the Linux package. This is different from most other Linux software because Squeak really is written in itself, so producing the source code for the VM involves asking Squeak to translate part of itself into C, which in turn will be used to produce the actual Linux squeak-vm packages.
Dave
p.s. Of course, anyone with enough interest (and patience) can learn to build their own VM using Squeak. This is quite interesting and educational in its own right, but perhaps a bit off topic for the etoys list ;-)
