sounddevice in windows using cygwin - issues with FFILibrary

[davrandom]

Hi,

not quite sure this is the right place to post this issue, but I hope you can help.
I'm running smoothly sounddevice under macos, now I need to make my scripts to work also on Windows.
I have installed cygwin and from there I have installed Python2.7, libffi-devel and portaudio2. The error I get when importing portaudio (in ipython) is this:

In [1]: import sounddevice

thanks for your help.

Can you please try if #28 works for you?

[davrandom]

Works fine! Thanks for the hyper fast fix ;)

Thanks for testing!

Just out of curiosity: Is there any unwanted output on cygwin?
In other words, if you just write the line import sounddevice in a script and run it, is there any output at all?

[davrandom]

No... nothing .. clean as always:P Thanks for your help! D

That's good to know, thanks!
