Invalid --audio argument 'pulse'

[amadeus-torwell]

I just wanted to test the script and I run into the following error on OSX:

Build 'virtualbox-iso' errored: Error executing command: VBoxManage error: VBoxManage: error: Invalid --audio argument 'pulse'

Latest version of Virtualbox 5.2.12 r122591 installed on my machine. Here comes the full output:

Great! Looks like all dependencies are installed. You can go ahead and type 'make' to build the VM.

Can you delete this line and try again, please.

[bastibl]

The audio driver is no longer set explicitly, but the default for the architecture is used. Hopefully, that defaults to pulse on Linux and Coreaudio on OSX. https://github.com/bastibl/instant-gnuradio/commit/6ca06bad971ebfa3ea076231a41ff4c587e1fc74

[amadeus-torwell]

Sorry for my late response, I must have missed some mail from github.

Yes, deleting the audioout line helps. Thanks!
