trombone.play() results in "Illegal instruction: 4"

[tandrewnichols]

It does play correctly, but when the sound ends, this error occurs. Tried from both the REPL and a node script using node 7.7.2.

[tandrewnichols]

Even a try/catch around trombone.play() does not prevent this error (which I assume means it's something in the compiled code).

Ah, it seems this is a Mac-related issue? The OS doesn't understand some instruction. Maybe you can't fix that? (but it would be cool if you could)

[bchociej]

I strongly suspect there's a problem with the lame package on Mac. But I'd like to switch to a pure JS version of this whole thing if at all possible, so perhaps I'll just try and make that happen when I have some spare cycles

[tandrewnichols]

Is there a way I can test that to confirm?

[bchociej]

Give the latest master a try, also published to npm as 1.1.0

[tandrewnichols]

Nope . . . still the same. Would version of node make a difference?

This seems to be an issue in the speaker dependency: TooTallNate/node-speaker#95

[tandrewnichols]

The instructions there (npm install speaker --mpg123-backend=openal) did fix the issue. Maybe you want to list that as a peer dependency and add instructions in the README to install with that package with that particular command? Unless you know of a way to add it as a package dependency to be install with that particular flag.

[tandrewnichols]

Ah, adding this to my package.json works:

"scripts": {
  "install": "npm install speaker --mpg123-backend=openal"
}

So you could remove the dependency on speaker and install it manually after install.
