Sonus.pause(sonus) and Sonus.resume(sonus)

[ginixsan]

I've read previous issues but haven't been able to get anything clear.When I try to pause or resume sonus with Sonus.pause(sonus). I get this error.

Sonus.pause = () => record.pause() ^

TypeError: record.pause is not a function

I've tried too stoping it and restarting it but then I get the

throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event ^

Error: write after end

That I saw some people get too. Anybody was able to get any workaround to pause sonus and resume it?

Just took a quick look at this, looks like this is a bug that was introduced in the most recent version. I'll take a stab at fixing it this weekend and publishing a fix. Thanks for reporting this!

(node:3503) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: record.pause is not a function
    at Writable.sonus.pause (/home/ztik/nodejs/sara/node_modules/sonus/index.js:141:12)

Seems like it is still ongoing (for me at least)...

A solution/workaround would be appreciated, but personally I am not in any hurry ;)

[evancohen]

Oof, this fell off my radar, sorry! Will attempt to fix asap.

No need to apologize, instead I should say thanks for this wonderful module. It is a core function of my app, without it I'd have no app at all ;) (I also included a link to sonus in the credits of my app)

P.S. feel free to ask for more information if you need any

Immediate solution is to comment out https://github.com/evancohen/sonus/blob/master/index.js#L140-L146 in your node_modules folder. It seems that at some point pause and resume was removed from the underlying audio library.

They just pushed a new version of that library that supports this functionality, so I'm going to go ahead and update everything to use that instead.

[evancohen]

So I have a working version with the new recording library, but it didn't match well with the current implementation. I'm not thrilled with the results. I'm going to do a refactor, but I've pushed the changes as-is to the pause-resume branch and published a release candidate on npm: [email protected]

To use this version just

npm install sonus@next

[ZTiKnl]

I have just ran npm uninstall sonus and npm install sonus@next. package.json seems to confirm this:

  "dependencies": {
    "sonus": "^1.0.4-rc1",

However, I am still receiving the same error as before:

(node:3436) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: record.pause is not a function
    at Object.Sonus.pause (/home/ztik/nodejs/sara/node_modules/sonus/index.js:204:28)
    at Object.pause (/home/ztik/nodejs/sara/hearing.js:63:11)

Is it possible that some dependency requires separate updating? (I'm new to javascript/nodejs, so it is quite possible that I'm wrong/misunderstanding)

edit: package.json in ./node_modules/sonus also tells me I'm using rc1: "version": "1.0.4-rc1"

Any update on this?

It seems that the "node-record-lpcm16" version used by Sonus ("^0.3.1") doesn't support Pause/Resume until version "1.0.0". Attempted to rectify the issue by using "npm install sonus@next" but was unsuccessful.

[evancohen]

I won't be able to look at this until over the holidays, but hopefully I can figure something out on vacation next week.

I gave it a go and managed to have some success. I tested it on a Raspberry Pi and it seemed to be working.

Hi ! I'm trying to use .pause() and .resume() but I got this error: INVALID_INDEX.

I've created a socket.io mechanism to talk the background sonus process to allow it to reliquish the microphone. also added mechanism to use the existing plugins the get audio back from secondary recording
