[Bug 480960] Re: GrandFatherClock

[addingnumbers]

This package needs some tweaking before it's Ubuntu-ready:

After a fresh install:

stu at wind:~$ grandfatherclock 
sox FAIL formats: no handler for given file type `ossdsp'
Unable to execute >sox -v 1.0 /usr/share/grandfatherclock/Grandfather.au -t ossdsp /dev/dsp: Inappropriate ioctl for device
stu at wind:~$ 

I got around this error by manually installing libsox-fmt-oss.
grandfatherclock should depend on libsox-fmt-oss or use sounds that do
not require it.

After manually installing unmet dependencies, the next attempt produces:

stu at wind:~$ grandfatherclock 
sox FAIL formats: can't open output file `/dev/dsp': Device or resource busy
Unable to execute >sox -v 1.0 /usr/share/grandfatherclock/Grandfather.au -t ossdsp /dev/dsp: Inappropriate ioctl for device
stu at wind:~$ sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/* /dev/dsp
                     USER        PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/snd/controlC0:  stu        1646 F.... pulseaudio
/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p:   stu        1646 F...m pulseaudio
stu at wind:~$
