[linux-audio-user] Muse

[David Baron]

Still cannot compile it but was able to install from Debian Sid.
1. Must dkpg-reconfigure to set the suid bit. The configure information said 
no need to do this for 2.6 kernels but use realtime-lsm which I do. Without 
setting the bit, it could not detect jack.
2. It could not load any ladspa plugins. Complained they all lacked the header 
and terminated on the first one. Had to run with the no plugin option. These 
plugins show up in xmms and audacity just fine.
3. Vst not enabled here, obviously, because fst and the vst development kit 
are not on Sid. Non-free.
4. Fluidsynth played any soundfont I tried as a piano. I cannot voutch for the 
soundfonts as I never used them anywhere. Freebies from some synth site.
5. Organ O-1 works very nicely but my 575mhz PIII cannot quite hack it.
The distortion VAM also works. I had these working on previous muse versions 
off Sid as well. It is possible to write soft synth that will run fine on 
this machine, I have a few for Windows.
