| Subject: | nama: ChainSetup fails rendering all sound operations useless |
We have the following bug reported to the Debian package of
Audio-Nama (https://bugs.debian.org/800913):
It doesn't seem to be a bug in the packaging, so you may want to take
a look. Thanks!

Package: nama
Version: 1.078-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Whenever anything tries to generate chains, which happens so you can play or record any sound, I get:
error caught while generating setup: Undefined subroutine called at /usr/share/p
erl5/Audio/Nama/ChainSetup.pm line 533.
That would be:
open my $fh, ">", Audio::Nama::setup_file();
So, the problem is not Audio::Nama::setup_file. First, note that it is an anonymous sub not found in the error; we'd be told if Audio::Nama::setup_file was missing.
Also, I evaled that iand it returns the expected value.
I also decomposed line 533, stored Audio::Nama::setup_file in a temporary and that worked fine and the error is on the open not setting the temporary.
What seems to be happening here is that open is breaking somehow.
I ran under the perl debugger and waited until we got to line 533.
Then I ran
OPEN BAR, ">/tmp/bar"
and got the same undefined subroutine error.
So, something somewher is messing up open/file io in general.
I did some grepping and couldn't find it.
My Perl is too old to know how you can do magic this black.
