Logs of subsequent invocation of kwave via Bash via Konsole.

SUMMARY
The snap for kwave (http://snapcraft.io/kwave) is very outdated.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Execute "snap info kwave".

OBSERVED RESULT
"master+8a1ba28" is listed for "latest/edge", which may be older than the 18.04.1th version, whereas the 18.04.1th version is listed for the other open tracks.

EXPECTED RESULT
At least the 21.08.1th version should be submitted for all of the tracks.

I have a MR for some runtime issues, but when merged we will be caught up to latest 23.08.3.

It's on 23.08.5 on --channel=latest/candidate. Is that still outdated? According to https://bugs.kde.org/page.cgi?id=fields.html#version, it appears to be.

I never did get this one working. kwave(24743)/(default) \[31munknown\[0m: "Stream error: Access denied" despite alsa plug being enabled. Unfortunately, maintaining 200 snaps in my freetime is a very laborious endeavor and I simply don't have any freetime right now. Qt6 is still a WIP and recent versions are qt6. Hopefully I will be able to sort this out soon... Patches/Help welcome.

No worries. I genuinely can't fathom how much work voluntarily maintaining 200 packages is, especially when they're sandboxed versions of applications not necessarily designed to operate within a sandbox. In case it wasn't evident, I was only updating this issue to better demonstrate the problem, rather than try to progress it.

kwave snap now works. You must sudo snap connect kwave:audio-record :audio-record until I can get auto-connect approved.
