Hi,
I just tried the 8.31 release on Ubuntu 16.04 and can't get it to launch. I have PulseAudio disabled upon startup and use Jack to directly control the sound card.
Using Jack allows:
1) VLC to feed StereoTool as an input
2) SilentJack to run as a watchdog in case the input audio goes silent (or something goes wrong)
When I launch StereoTool, I see this error and StereoTool just hangs and does not launch the GUI.
