How to compile audacious with muon+samu

Portable static Muon (with embedded samu) is available here:
_https://muon.build/
_https://muon.build/releases/v0.5.0/muon-v0.5.0-amd64-linux
$ file muon-v0.5.0-amd64-linux
muon-v0.5.0-amd64-linux: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, BuildID[sha1]=1a2a3022413581300d66c86f02329ed4aa782022, stripped

The procedure of compiling is very similar to that of meson. The main difference is that muon may refuse to search for headers, unless PKG_CONFIG_PATH is set. Although it might be very inconvenient for the slaves of pulseaudio (because of progressive dementia caused by pulseaudio), it provides the freedom to decide which headers should be used.

Dementia is progressive. This means signs and symptoms may be relatively mild at first but they get worse with time. Dementia affects everyone differently, however it can be helpful to think of dementia progressing in 'three stages'.
_https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/about-dementia/symptoms-and-diagnosis/how-dementia-progresses/progression-stages-dementia

⟡ AI Overview
Engaging in intellectually stimulating activities may offer a degree of protection against dementia, particularly for individuals who may have otherwise lower levels of education or occupation. While more research is needed, evidence suggests that activities like reading, playing board games, musical instrument playing, journaling, and crossword puzzles are associated with a reduced risk of developing dementia.

There is a belief that compiling with muon may protect pulseaudio users against Alzheimer's disease (AD). That is why, perhaps, muon is available even in Debian repositories (a very old version, of course).

Because of progressive dementia, it might be necessary to explain how to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH. Otherwise it might be a very difficult problem to solve.

PKG_CONFIG_PATH can be set with a secret command, for example:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$HOME/.local/lib/pkgconfig:$(pkgconf --variable pc_path pkgconf)"

$ cat $HOME/.local/lib/pkgconfig/GL.pc
prefix=/usr
includedir=${prefix}/include
libdir=${prefix}/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

Name: GL
Description: Legacy OpenGL and GLX library and headers.
Version: 1.2
Libs: -L${libdir} -lGL
Cflags: -I${includedir}/GL

GL.pc is needed for Audacious-plugins (OpenGL Spectrum Analyzer).

The "meson_options.txt" of Audacious and Audacious-plugins can be configured in the same way as it was done for "meson+samu" (see above). Audacious-plugins should be patched, of course (as it was described above). In any case, Audacious should be compiled and installed BEFORE the compilation Audacious-plugins. And, of course, the Debian packages can be made in exactly the same way.

Audacious:

1. Setup the build system

cd audacious
muon setup -Dprefix=/usr -Ddefault_library=shared -Dbuildtype=release build

2. Compile

muon samu -C build

3. Install to a folder "debdir"

cd build
DESTDIR="../../debdir" muon install
cd ../../
install -vDm644 audacious/contrib/audacious.appdata.xml -t "debdir/usr/share/metainfo"
install -vDm644 audacious/COPYING -t "debdir/usr/share/licenses/audacious"

Audacious-plugins:

1. Setup the build system

cd audacious-plugins
muon setup -Dprefix=/usr -Ddefault_library=shared -Dbuildtype=release build

2. Compile

muon samu -C build

3. Install to a folder "debdir"

cd build
DESTDIR="../../debdir" muon install
cd ../../
install -vDm644 audacious-plugins/COPYING -t "debdir/usr/share/licenses/audacious-plugins"

Hello ,

have completed part1 (How to compile audacious with muon+samu) up until "Audacious Plugins";

no not fully complete therfore getting error:

ERROR ../audacious/src/libaudcore/plugin-init.cc:155 [start_required]: No output plugin found.
(Did you forget to install audacious-plugins?)
Aborted

Could you please include support for .aiff since have backup of CD library mostly in this format;?

Thank you very much.

igorzwx · 2025-11-03 00:11:37

First you compile Audacious and install install it.
When Audacious is installed, you can compile Audacious-plugins.
Audacious is a build dependency for Audacious-plugins.
Audacious-plugins are dependency for Audacious (it does not work without plugins).
When both installed everything should work.

sox input.aiff output.wav

flac -o output.flac input.wav

for f in *.aiff; do sox "$f" "${f%.aiff}.wav"; done

for f in *.wav; do flac "$f" "${f%.wav}.flac"; done

also, have not disabled "qt6" since it included in devuan excalibure?

igorzwx · 2025-11-03 12:45:35

It has nothing to do with qt6.
To install dependencies run

sudo apt install -f

This "magic command" should fix all problems.

dpkg does not install dependencies from repositories, This can be done with apt or apt-get

You may notice that I got the same dependencies (see above):

libavformat59 (>= 7:5.0), ..., libflac12 (>= 1.3.0)

The are available in the official repositories and can be easily installed.

NOTE: There is a conspiracy theory about a secret Devuan wiki, which explains how to install Debian packages with secret esoteric commands apt and apt-get

The package "audacious-plugins" was compiled on Devuan 5 or Devuan 6 ?

Or you simply wrote wrong dependencies into DEBIAN/control to minimize work?
To minimize work, you should remove almost all dependencies from DEBIAN/control.

kapqa · 2025-11-03 13:42:57

both for devuan 6.0;

just added daedalus 5 to the sources.list, now it functions (it installed 3 packages).

Have however the same issue as with the pre-compiled version:

when i try to add "open folder" from a NFS share that is on the NAS, it would not find the ".aif" files?

maybe this is a limitation of the NFS share, since am just learning how to do it?

audacious

How you got my dependencies for Devuan 5 into your package for Devuan 6.
The were not calculated, they were copied from my package.

Do you have pulseaudio installed?

kapqa · 2025-11-03 13:48:44

just followed your routine anyway, since this is quite complciated procedure, above my linux-skills.

igorzwx · 2025-11-03 13:59:38

If a package was compiled on your system, it cannot have unsatisfied dependencies.

Do you have pulseaudio installed?

"No suitable mixer element found" is a well known pulseaudio problem (permissions)

For example:

The issue was permission-based. I logged into x as root briefly and pavucontrol opened with no problem, as did Audacious.

no, no pulse, but thanks for reminding, the pipewire has krept back in; was wondering if the sound suddenly became "tinnier" again;

now it is removed; however, the .aif issue seems a limitation of the program itself or how it handles file/folder structures?

now, no pulseaudio, no pipewire. but folder containing files with .aif structure when added give "no files found".

No files found from Audacious? Can you get these files in file browser?

for f in *.wav; do flac "$f" "${f%.wav}.flac"; done

alright, gonna check whats going on, maybe gonna use another program than itunes to make the CD Backup in the future;
(i like .aiff since it is like WAV and allows for metadata)

To convert a WAV file to FLAC while keeping the metadata
flac --keep-foreign-metadata input.wav -o output.flac

Bellezza Crudel is a small selection of delightful cantatas and concertos. Vivaldi's world is one of heartfelt, musical intensity, confirming the Venetians' adoration of theatrical beauty.
Antonio Lucio Vivaldi (1678-1741)
Cantate RV 679, 660, 664, 678 / Concerti RV 484, 441
Original source DXD (352.8kHz/24bit)
Producer Morten Lindberg, balance engineer and recording producer
2L - the Nordic sound

Audacious macOS, Homebrew repository:
"bit perfect" mode is already implemented and works,
"exclusive mode" is also implemented, but fails.

On macOS, both "bit perfect" and "exclusive mode" work with IINA player (from Homebrew), but above 96 kHz crappy resamplers are automatically enabled.

Hog mode (aka, exclusive mode) in CoreAudio refers to exclusive access to an audio output device, allowing a single application to lock the DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) for its exclusive use, thereby bypassing system-level software mixing and resampling and potentially improving audio quality by reducing processing overhead.
This mode is particularly relevant for achieving bit-perfect audio playback, where the audio stream is transmitted without software resampling or format conversion.
On macOS, hog mode is implemented through CoreAudio's exclusive access capabilities, enabling applications to take control of the audio device and avoid interference from other audio streams.

"Read-only file system"

Copy aiff files to your home directory and convert → wave → flac

flac --keep-foreign-metadata input.wav -o output.flac

A common strategy is to first extract the metadata using ffmpeg, perform the audio processing with sox, and then reapply the metadata to the final output file using ffmpeg.
Extract metadata from the original file to a text file using ffmpeg:
ffmpeg -i input.file -f ffmetadata metadata.txt
This saves global metadata. For more detailed stream-specific metadata, you might need a more complex ffmpeg command.
Process audio using sox:
sox input.file temp_output.file
Note that temp_output.file will have the default SoX comment and lack the original metadata.
Re-apply metadata to the final output file using ffmpeg:
ffmpeg -i temp_output.file -map_metadata 0 -metadata_global_key=value ... final_output.file
The -map_metadata 0 option tells ffmpeg to copy metadata from the first input file (which is temp_output.file in this case, but typically this step involves mapping from a third, metadata-only input file, which is more complex).
For simplicity, many users find it easier to work with a text file to set specific metadata fields manually using the -metadata option or a text file input.

(Did you forget to install audacious-plugins?)
Aborted

is it because of this ?

sudo apt remove libasound2-plugins --version
  
apt 3.0.3devuan1 (amd64)

EDIT: have added to /DEBIAN/control all the dependencies found in substvars ... do i need to install some more packages to get it to function?

igorzwx · 2025-11-05 16:09:34

It cannot find audacious-plugins, because they were compiled with another "audacions"

INFO ../src/libaudcore/plugin-registry.cc:431 [operator()]: Plugin not found: oss4

OSS4 plugin will not be compiled, because you do not have OSS4 installed. It will newer find it.

The method:
1. Compile Audacious
2. Install Audacious
3, Compile Audacious-plugins.
4. Install them

Do not enable OSS4 in the config, because you do not have it installed.

was about to ask if it should be installed since you told above "if installed".
well then i might correct the error, if still possible. there are many other error message.

:Actually during install found out, that Pipewire-Pulseaudio was still installed
(thanks to KDE possibly)
maybe therefore the error?

EDIT:

maybe the error is

shlibs:Depends=libaudcore5t64 (>= 4.4~beta1),

however

Get:1 http://deb.devuan.org/merged excalibur/main amd64 libaudcore5t64 amd64 4.4.2-1 [157 kB]

Unpacking audacious (4.5-devel-1) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of audacious:
audacious depends on libaudcore5t64 (>= 4.4~beta1); however:
Package libaudcore5t64 is not installed.
Version of libaudcore5t64 on system, provided by audacious:amd64, is <none>.

will leave for another day.

If you want to try OSS4, you may better try it on ArchLinux.

I used PKGBUILD of oss-git package.

maybe therefore the error?

Error was because they both should be recompiled correctly.

libaudcore is inside Audacious
libaudcore is searching for "registered" plugins and cannot find them.

debdir/usr/lib/libaudcore.so.5.5.0

remeins the issue which format to use for CD library

.aiff which is hardly supported /but all in one with metadate (can also burn CD of it for backup)
.wav (which has hardly matedate)
.wav + flac (which is better) but more space
.flac only (which is good, but not supported by itunes)(seem not supported by rhythmbox-daap as of november 2025)

for audacious, flac seem preferable.
