[hts-users:02304] problem of HTS_demo execution

["Yogi KENT" <yogi_kent@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, all

I have a problem for HTS_demo's getf0.tcl script.

I have installed HTS and try to execute speaker dependent training demo HTS-demo_NIT-ATR503-M001.tar.bz2.
but this demo requires the snack library of Tcl/Tk, doesn't it?

before, I have executed this demo on my computer running linux without no problem.
now, I want to execute it onto remote host that I have no privilege and permission of /dev/mixer.
in this case, getf0.tcl script aborts because of /dev/mixer permission like following.

   ~/opt/Tcl-8.4/bin/tclsh8.4 ./data/scripts/getf0.tcl
   Unable to open mixer /dev/mixer
   pitch extract tool using snack library (= ESPS get_f0)
   Usage ./data/scripts/getf0.tcl [-H max_f0] [-L min_f0] [-s frame_length (in second)] [-p frame_length (in point)] [-r samplerate] [-l (little endian)] [-b (big endian)] [-o output_file] [-f0 (output in f0)] [-lf0 (output in log f0)] inputfile

Although snack library is the tool to playback or to recording, I think this demo dose't use these but only getf0.
Dose anyone know good way to avoid this error,
or to use another tools instead of snack library.


best regards,
