Dear Geoff, Whatever I tried, no change whatever at the behaviour of the sound channel, It is still found 16 to 20 clicks right of the picture. I assumed that there woud be some reaction from the new install after changing frequencies but a big NO go.
The fact that you saw no change at all was so surprising that I grepped the entire source code for references to those #define'd constants. I came up with nothing. That appears to mean that, although they are #defined and frequencies.h is incorporated into a number of source files, they are not actually used. Maybe they were used in the past but are no longer needed - then again maybe I just don't understand the source code. I have one last suggestion. You might be surprised how receptive most authors are to interesting feedback. I have written to several authors in situations where I have taken care to be sure that some strange behaviour I have seen is not just a result of my own stupidity. I have always had good responses, and once or twice my comments have resulted in changes in the code. If I were you I could not resist writing to Gerd Knorr about this.
The building of my "own " program from source went smooth. It gives me at least the courage to try it on other sources ;-).
Once you begin to compile your own programs (which is usually very easy), you will not want to go back to rpms. You have more control and more interest that way. After 18 months with this 7.0 installation I have about 130 programs in my Download directory that I have subsequently compiled, and most of the SuSE rpms for software I use often have been removed.
