All my SoaS tests were on the same desktop computer - i.e., same hardware. As noted, some versions of Record worked flawlessly (SoaS), others with glitches (major or minor) and/or artifacts, and some not at all (either no save, no play, even no load - as in Record v64 with Blueberry, "failed to load plugin"). These results would seem to indicate issues *in addition* to hardware variations.

So I was thinking of porting it in Python to Sugar as an Activity. One problem: currently Csound imports standard uncompressed soundfiles, and doesn't work with ogg. The Record Activity only outputs ogg, it seems. I would not consider porting my application to Sugar if Csound could handle a filetype that Record can output. Question #1: what are the chances that Record can be enhanced to produce wav files? Question #2: what are the chances that Record can be made to work dependably on Sugar .82-.88 (at least)? With regard to question #2, I get very spotty (mixed) results for Record (audio), as follows: XO-1.0: Record 59 works fine; higher versions (including 64) have major audio dropouts. XO-1.5: Record 64 bad, with major dropouts; v67 is semi-OK as is v85 (recording artifacts and occasional glitches) Strawberry: Record 64 works fine; further upgrades don't (including v66, v79, v85) - *nothing (including won't save or play)* Blueberry: v66 is semi-OK (slight artifacts, no dropouts); v64, v79 and v81 - *nothing* Mirabelle: v64 not tested; otherwise same results as Blueberry </PRE></BLOCKQUOTE><PRE wrap="">look at: <A class=moz-txt-link-freetext href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Soas_V4/ASLOxo_Activity_Test_Table#Activity_Test_Results">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Soas_V4/ASLOxo_Activity_Test_Table#Activity_Test_Results</A> "...+camera NO sound Asus Aspire One, NO camera +sound EeePC900'' It depends on the Hardware it seems..
