pwgl-users: Audio Setup Error in Vista

[Ugur Guney]

# Hi!
# I just just saw some papers about constraint programming approach
for computer music composition and wanted to try PWGL.
# I downloaded the .zip package from
http://www2.siba.fi/pwgl/downloads.html Which includes the "version
1.0 beta rc-12 (0.9.12-510)"
# When I choose "Audio/MIDI Setup..." under "PWGL" menu I get the
following error:

Error: External format :ASCII got error reading #<Pointer to type
(:UNSIGNED :CHAR) = #x044DFED8> at position 15: Non-ASCII code 254.

# I am using Windows Vista.
# Can you give me some instruction how to solve this problem.
# Have a nice day!

Hi Uğur,

This problem is caused by Lispworks FLI string routines throwing an  
exception when they encounter extended characters (outside US-ASCII).  
The case in point is probably an audio device driver with a localized  
name having some extended characters.

I've encountered this problem before with a Finnish localized driver  
(Bluetooth-ääni). I could patch the synth to remove non-ASCII  
characters from the strings it passes to the core PWGL component, but  
I think a cleaner solution must be possible. Mikael? Mika?

Regards,
Vesa

# Hi Vesa,
# Thanks. I understand the problem: My Vista version is Turkish. Then
I suppose the driver name is something like "hoparlör" or "ses
sürücüsü" which include non-ascii characters.
# Is there a way to start PWGL executable with some command line
argument in order to start and work with a chosen driver?

I'm guessing that the solution would be to pass the strings to C as  
unicode. I'm sure this is possible with the FLI but we may have to  
investigate a little. We should definitely fix this.

Hello everybody,

I try to use Audio/Midi Setup and receive this message:

External format :ASCII got error reading #<Pointer to type
(:UNSIGNED :CHAR) = #x044DFED8> at position 20: Non-ASCII code 254.


Thanks for your help!
