Hello!

I'm trying to test Julius and Julius-voxforge, and when I try to start the recognition, julius runs but I don't receive any recognition, when it starts I got the next messages, warnings and errors:

### read waveform input
Stat: capture audio at 16000Hz
Stat: adin_alsa: latency set to 32 msec (chunk = 512 bytes)
Error: adin_alsa: unable to get pcm info from card control
Warning: adin_alsa: skip output of detailed audio device info
STAT: AD-in thread created

The program runs, but while I'm speaking, and I got these warnings:

Warning: strip: sample 287-302 has zero value, stripped
Warning: strip: sample 32-47 has zero value, stripped
Warning: strip: sample 251-266 has zero value, stripped
Warning: strip: sample 497-512 has zero value, stripped
Warning: strip: sample 563-579 has zero value, stripped
Warning: strip: sample 53-68 has zero value, stripped
Warning: strip: sample 196-212 has zero value, stripped
Warning: strip: sample 341-356 has zero value, stripped
Warning: strip: sample 606-621 has zero value, stripped

and after a time, I got this warning:

WARNING: adin_thread_process: too long input (> 320000 samples), segmented now
Warning: input buffer overflow: some input may be dropped, so disgard the input

and the program continues in an infinite loop.

Also, I run the program with the command -record and if I open the file with VLC, i can hear the sound fine.

Does anybody have idea what can I do to run it?

Can anybody help me, please?

Thanks!

Diego
