[linux-audio-user] ppc linux audio

[Michal Seta]

FWIW, up to 2 days ago I was  a happy debian-ppc user (iMac G3 350Mhz, RIP), making quite a bit of noise.

here's what I had running:

pd - AFAIK all externs were working on PPC, some needed some tweaking.
iiwu - the latest version works (prior to that there were some endianess issues)
snd
csound - for some reason it would not render to .wav properly.  aif was working fine though.
GDAM
soundtracker
LegaSynth
ecasound (stable and unstable up to the CVS version)
sweep - especially lately it was a delight
jack (cvs, the tarball on the jackit site worked, too but I think it hasn't been updated in a while)
ardour
MuSE - but without the soft synths.  The simply didn't work for some reason but I could aconnect the standalone iiwusynth with MuSE for that.  I haven't tried the audio in MuSE, all I neede was a MIDI sequencer.

Basically, most apps that I wanted to run or just try would compile [almost] out of the box.  Besides the usual endianess problems, it was a pleasant environment.

PS.  I was the orginal poster about the ATA HD.  Just to clarify, I simply wanted to recycle the drive but, for now, I'm on a PC linux box.  On a PPC machine, mol is a great solution for "sharing" disks.  I would start mol, ftp to my linux side grab/put what I needed etc.  I don't really need to use the HFS+ side.  Only the linux fs.  I kept the MacOS mainly for Argeiphontes Lyre and SoundHack which I used occasionaly...

hopefully I'll go back to PPC in the future.
