Locale affects configuration #60

Closed LightBit closed 3 years ago

LightBit commented 3 years ago

Maybe this is expected, but after I changed locale setting to locale with "," instead of "." as decimal point, my config stopped working (ladspa_dsp failed to load). You can try to set system locale /etc/locale.conf to LC_NUMERIC=sl_SI.UTF-8.

I think it would be better to ignore locale setting to prevent surprises.

It actually does completely ignore locale by default. Because LADSPA plugins are loaded as shared libraries, the default locale is whatever is set by the host program. Issue #5 has some more information.

I recommend adding LC_NUMERIC=C to your ladspa_dsp configuration file(s) (as stated in the README) for predictable behavior. Honestly I should probably make this the default, but I haven't done it yet.
