Initially, gMSFK complained about read errors from the sound device. I tried re-assigning DMA channels from the BIOS, and updating the OSS module accordingly, but it went from read errors to write errors to a full system freeze :-( The fix was to ditch OSS for the ALSA drivers, and all is well now. I am using a Toshiba laptop and the Yamaha sound system has always been a bit tricky to get going. Anyway, the KDE sound server does a pretty good job of sharing the sound system between apps, I am going to try to record a sound bite of transmitted audio into a file, and re-play it, to see what the transmitted spectrum looks like. I am really intrigued by the MFSK, which sounds like a mix between a flute and bag-pipes on fast-forward. A question: I would like to extract PTT from a USB serial adapter, but the device file for it doesn't show up in the pick list of gMFSK. Can I safely add a symlink to the USB device file and call it, say /dev/ttyS99? Wilbert, ZL2BSJ
