hamlib 4.4 .. quisk .. hl2 .. js8call/fldigi/wsjtx #85

Could this be an issue with hamlib 4.4?

I'm trying to get several digital mode programs working with the hl2 and quisk on a linux mint 20.2 system.

I've compiled everything from scratch including hamlib (configured with python bindings).

I'm using pulse: Use name QuiskDigitalInput on the quisk digital tx0 and pulse: Use name QuiskDigitalOutput.monitor on the quisk digital rx0 . I have quisk running it dgt-u mode and are seeing activity on the staus page of quisk for the digital rx0 output.

On the remote page of the hl2 radio section I have configured the hamlib ip address to localhost and am using port 4532 as advised in https://james.ahlstrom.name/quisk/docs.html#Digital

When I run .. for instance js8call (though wsjytx is v similar as js8call was a fork of this) I do not get any waterfall activity on the rx screens .. and comments of this sort as an example

21-10-25T21:27:55.569Z: Hamlib: netrigctl_open: invalid dumpcaps line, expected 'setting=value', got '664 703 712 723 731 732 734 743 754'

on the terminal screen where I ran js8call from ... similarly in fldigi and wsjtx I get no rx activity.

I'm running quisk under python3 .. though have tried with early versions with same results.

I've tried looking for advise on the "invalid dumpcaps line" on the internet without success.

I'm convinced that quisk is functioning ok .. as I can use if for ssb contacts using the hl2 ..

I wonder if there is a permissions issue with the digital programs gaining access to the sound devices .. though have tried various combinations of running quisk, rigctld and js8call as root ... all to no avail ..

I'm running out of ideas .. and was wondering if you had any comments or advise.
