Anyway, the attached patch should fix this. It will be included in the next version, but you can easily include it in your packages.
That was quick :)
I already had it in Subversion as it did bite me as well on an Intel machine. Strangely enough the unfixed version worked with an emu10k1 card on another little-endian machine. Anyway, it would be good if you could include this patch in your packages as it could be a bit of a show-stopper for many people.
PS I also believed it may have been caused by my config-file being overwritten after doing the install, which is still a major issue for me as it bites me every new release I tried. I now hardlink the configfile :)
I still don't fully understand the problem. Why do you change the global config file (in /etc) at all, except for distribution purposes? And in the latter case, there should be no problem anyway. The right place to configure PyTone is in ~/.pytone/pytonerc which will never be overwritten.
Well, the global config-file contains the configuration of the sound output and some other configuration options I consider 'global' (specific to the system).
I would have no problem removing the file from the setup.py file. Probably for you packagers this doesn't make a difference, anyway. Jörg
