[open] Sound recorder plugin and Ubuntu 14.04
Hi,
I am trying to get the sound recorder plugin to work under Opensesame 2.9.4 and Ubuntu(Mate) 14.04.
The instructions mention that I need to compile from source. Does this mean I need to compile Opensesame from source, too, or just the plugin?
I tried with the ppa version of Opensesame and the .tar.gz-archive of the plugin. What does not work is pymedia. It is not in the Ubuntu repos and the source version does not compile as it needs old versions of libmp3lame etc. that are not in the repos anymore and gcc <4 which is also not in the repos anymore.
How to get this to work then?
Thanks in advance for help and instructions.

Hi Johannes,
You don't need to compile OpenSesame or the plug-in, so in that respect you're fine.
However, you do need to install
pymedia, and it looks like that's not a trivial thing to do, because some dependencies are outdated. @dschreij any idea if this is still possible with recent versions of Ubuntu?Cheers,
Sebastiaan

Alas, I have this problem even with the newer gst variant of the sound recorder. Both libraries depend on outdated versions of libraries that are hard to get in linux nowadays (the original sound_recorder on pymedia and the gstreamer variant on gstreamer-0.10 while only gstreamer-1.X is supported nowadays). As if it's the world up-side-down, it is harder to get this plugin to work under linux than windows at the moment, so the only thing I can do at the moment is recommend you to build and run the experiment you have in mind on a windows computer.
