Victor,

Great piece of software, but I like to install things in ~/bin if they are not actual Ubuntu packages. I did this by editing the
configure script, but it would be nice if there were a "prefix=" option.

5 seconds delay is *huge* indeed; does the delay increases while playing? or is it stable around 5 sec?

If the delay increases, you should try a 'lighter configuration' :* a main window's width at 700 pixels, and a longer time interval (you can find this it at Menu -> Edit -> Preferences);

If the delay is stable and your CPU is not overloaded, you could try to re-configure with the '--enable-realtime' option, to allow spectrum3d to have a higher priority (RR p=50 to be precise); note that you'll have to edit (or create) the '/etc/limits.d/security/audio.conf' file and add yourself as a member of the 'audio' group if you do that (it is explained in the doc if you want); otherwise, you'll have to run spectrum3d as root

Wich kernel are you using? A preempt would probably have better results, but this is probably tweaking a bit more your system...

Indeed, on this machine, it should rock :-)

There is a realtime audio analysis and display in 3d.... this is CPU and GPU consuming...

This concerns me; it should work out of the box with just libgtk2.0-dev installed. Wich Debian and libgtk+2.0 version are you using?

Thank you for this

Understood. I will

Actually for the next version, I'm working on 'configure' and makefile' generated with the autoconf and automakes tools; so they'll meet more the GNU standards.

Thank you for your input.
