[hpsdr] Beta release of linHPSDR

[John Melton]

The output shows:

audio: state_cb: PA_CONTEXT_AUTHORIZING
audio: state_cb: PA_CONTEXT_SETTING_NAME
audio: state_cb: PA_CONTEXT_READY
Output: 1: alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo (Built-in Audio Analog Stereo)
Input: 1: alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo.monitor (Monitor of Built-in Audio Analog Stereo)
Input: 2: alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo (Built-in Audio Analog Stereo)

Which are the devices it finds.  I wonder if the problem before was that pulse audio was not running?

Until a day or two ago, on the Rx-0 config page (I think) I used to have a box I could tick to send the audio to a local device - in my case the speakers in my 27” monitor. However last time I started linHPSDR this config option was not present and I had to use the 3.5mm o/p jack on Mercury. Is there some magic setting for this? It’s possible some s/w update has disabled the audio device on my PC.  I wondered if you’ve had any experience with this happening?

Same changes to the “Prerequisites for building" saw a very rapid build and install of both wdsp and linhpsdr. I must check my $PATH environment as I had to add a symbolic link to the wdsp library in /lib64 to /usr/local/lib.
