How properly install audio_common package?

Hello, My ros package uses audio_common package and even though I installed it with the command: sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-audio_common I keep getting below warnings about soundplay.py. Please ignore the error in my log as it is another story.

odroid@QT05:~$ roslaunch rehabilitation_framework Exercise_Launcher.launch

Which warnings are you referring to here? I see a nr of them, and some of them are harmless (the naming convention one) and others are perfectly explainable (the ones about "no node subscribed": sound_play shut down just before that).

Please clarify.

It looks like the other errors in your launch file are causing premature shutdown of the sound_play node, which is causing the sound_play errors.

These warnings:

Well, looking a few lines up from those lines, you can see:

[sound_play-1] killing on exit

so the sound_play node already exited. The warning seems correct: it is not running any longer.

I see, so the problem is that it exits even though it is not told so.

The sound_play node exits because roslaunch terminates it. roslaunch shuts down because your node crashed: ================================================================================REQUIRED process [rehabilitation_framework-3] has died!

There is most likely no problem with sound_play and / or audio_common.

I see, so the problem is that it exits even though it is not told so.

According to the console output you show, it is actually told to shutdown:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/odroid/catkin_ws.tolga/src/rehabilitation_framework-working_demo_with_gui/src/Exercises.py", line 856, in <module>
    ros_motion_type = rosparam.get_param("/reha_exercise/motion_type")
  File "/opt/ros/kinetic/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rosparam/__init__.py", line 214, in get_param
    return get_param_server().getParam(param)
  File "/opt/ros/kinetic/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rosgraph/masterapi.py", line 206, in getParam
    return self._succeed(self.handle.getParam(self.caller_id, key))
  File "/opt/ros/kinetic/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rosgraph/masterapi.py", line 154, in _succeed
    raise Error(msg)
rosgraph.masterapi.MasterError: Parameter [/reha_exercise/motion_type] is not set
================================================================================
REQUIRED process [rehabilitation_framework-3] has died!

Because rehabilitation_framework-3 dies, and is set as required in your launch file, roslaunch will start shutting down all the other nodes. That would include your sound_play node.

So the real issue here is: why does rehabilitation_framework shut down?

Probably because of:

rosgraph.masterapi.MasterError: Parameter [/reha_exercise/motion_type] is not set

I don't know anything about this software, so I can't help you there, but the error should be on line 856 in /home/odroid/catkin_ws.tolga/src/rehabilitation_framework-working_demo_with_gui/src/Exercises.py, which is:

ros_motion_type = rosparam.get_param("/reha_exercise/motion_type")

Are you starting everything correctly? Is the launch file setting that parameter? If not, that is what the problem is.
