My English is not the best :) so please edit the page and make it proper English...
From Gtick's homepage:
"GTick is a metronome application written for GNU/Linux and other UN*X-like operting systems supporting different meters (Even, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4 and more) and speeds ranging from 10 to 1000 bpm. It utilizes GTK+ and OSS (ALSA compatible). It is part of the GNU Project.
This program has been originally written by Alex Roberts, but since he didn't have the time to develop and maintain it further, I (Roland Stigge) took it over (initially to package it for Debian, but there were too many "upstream" issues, so I decided to maintain the whole package). Since then, the program has been mainly rewritten (new DSP core, GTK+2 port, added features). "
From Gtick's homepage:
I created a new package that checks for libsndfile1 and now you get a nice desktop icon.
opkg install http://www.opkg.org/packages/gtick_0.1_armv4t.ipk
Please test it and give me some feedback on this page.
For alsa-oss compatility, use
modprobe snd-pcm-oss
You can add this in the GTick's preferences by editing the "execute on startup" field.
Apparently there is a problem that after every reboot I have to click the start button twice to get it working. On the first click, an error message about a missing sound device appears.
If you have the speech-dispatcher installed (e.g. navit uses it) you may come upon this problem: speech-dispatcher blocking /dev/dsp .
A quick solution is just to stop speech-dispatcher with/etc/init.d/speech-dispatcher stop
You can get the source code from [1].
To make the sound louder either use the gui control for volume or increase the "Headphone" and the "PCM" setting with alsamixer.
gtickor with ssh:
DISPLAY=:0 gtick
Hint: Use the app in landscape mode.
feel free to make it better :)
Please add anything you come upon on this page.
