Jokosher crashes when loading large audio file

[Luke Akins]

Click "Add Audio File", select a 9.3M .wav file, no problems.
Do the same with a 267M .wav file and jokosher crashes with the following error:

The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.

What version of Jokosher are you using? Is there anymore to that error? I'm pretty sure its an X error but I just want to make sure.

[Luke Akins (luke-chice)]

It's version 0.9, installed from the package on the jokosher website. I'm running AMD64, but I had the same problem with earlier versions of jokosher when I was running i386.
The full error is:

The program 'jokosher' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 12823 error_code 11 request_code 53 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

I can't reproduce this using a 700mb wav file. It might be that you are on AMD64, or that the file I tested it with was the same volume all the way through (cause it was a constant tone) and there was much less complexity in my waveform. I'll have to convert some really long song to wav and try it again.

[Michael Sheldon (michael-sheldon)]

 How much memory do you both have? Based on the error I'd guess that it was running out of memory when caching the waveform.

[Luke Akins (luke-chice)]

I have 2Gb RAM, plus about 5Gb swap.

[Laszlo Pandy (laszlok)]

Yeah i didn't think low memory was the problem. Jokosher uses a caching system so that the largest image it will ever allocate will be 3 times the width of the Jokosher window. Maybe you have a seriously wide screen, in which case it might be worth while making it a lot smaller and trying to import again.

[Luke Akins (luke-chice)]

My screen resolution is 1280x1024, and the jokosher window was at the size it opened at (about 900px I think).
