[Consortium] Best wishes for the Holidays

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

Please allow me to echo what many others have already said so eloquently on the LA* lists: On behalf of the Linuxaudio.org consortium, L2Ork, and personally I would like to extend very best Holiday wishes to all LA* users, developers, artists, enthusiasts, supporters, contributors, companies, and sponsors. May we have many more years of a thriving community and bountiful creativity. Likewise, I would like to express deepest gratitude to all who have contributed towards making audio on Linux not only possible but also remarkable! After all, Linuxaudio.org, L2Ork, or many of my personal projects would've never been possible without your talents and generous contributions!

[Consortium] FFADO 2.0 released

by Pieter Palmers

The FFADO team is proud and happy to announce the release of FFADO 2.0.0. As the release candidates have been around for almost one year now without a significant amount of bug reports we feel confident that the current code-base has matured. Around the end of november the 1000-th device was registered as being used with FFADO, which seemed to be a nice number to triggered the release. Furthermore on December 2 the Linux kernel version 2.6.32 has been released. This version fixes the new kernel FireWire drivers such that they are compatible with FFADO. So once the distributions pick up this kernel the old/new kernel stack confusion should be history. Thanks go out to the vendors that provided us with gear to support for the 2.0 release: Echo Digital Audio, Edirol, Ego Systems Inc, Focusrite, Mackie and Terratec. Kudos for their early-bird support! Special thanks also go to BridgeCo and TC Applied for providing us with their development platforms and for helping with vendor contacts. Their support makes that FFADO covers the most widely used platforms for FireWire audio and that we can quickly implement support for new devices. Looking ahead to the 2.1 release we can announce that we have implemented (basic) support for additional devices from Focusrite, Behringer, Stanton and TC Electronic. We plan to move to beta-testing 2.1 fairly soon as development on it has been ongoing for more than a year now. Additionally, work is being done on the RME devices, but its not yet known when that will be finished. Support for some other vendors is in the pipeline, so stay tuned for more announcements. A second major development is the move of the streaming infrastructure to kernel space. A kernel-space implementation will bring significant improvements with respect to reliability and efficiency. Furthermore it will allow to expose an ALSA interface, meaning that the scope of FireWire audio on Linux is extended significantly. Thanks to the Google Summer of Code and the Linux Foundation, work on this has been done during the summer. The code is not yet ready for use, but things are moving. More information can be found here: http://www.ffado.org/?q=release/2.0.0 For the eager, a direct download link: http://www.ffado.org/files/libffado-2.0.0.tar.gz On behalf of the FFADO team, Pieter Palmers

[Consortium] ladspavst.linuxaudio.org site is going offline

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

All ladspavst users/contributors, A ladspavst visitor has brought to my attention that the ladspavst.linuxaudio.org has been spammed for quite some time, rendering a page into useless goop of spam. This is mainly due to lack of moderation. As a result, I've no other choice than to take the site offline until further notice. If you or someone you know is supposed to take care of this site, please contact me and we'll figure out the best way to bring this site back online. Until that happens, the site will remain offline. Best wishes, Ivica Ico Bukvic, D.M.A. Composition, Music Technology Director, DISIS Interactive Sound & Intermedia Studio Director, L2Ork Linux Laptop Orchestra Assistant Co-Director, CCTAD CHCI, CS, and Art (by courtesy) Virginia Tech Dept. of Music - 0240 Blacksburg, VA 24061 (540) 231-6139 (540) 231-5034 (fax) ico(a)vt.edu http://www.music.vt.edu/faculty/bukvic/

[Consortium] First L2Ork track now available

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

Dear fellow FOSS enthusiasts, Last week's L2Ork debut was a great success with the performance hall packed and people standing in the back. We've had a tremendous amount of positive feedback and it has been truly hart-touching to learn that people genuinely cared about and were moved by what we had to share. As some of you may be already aware, our story also made the Slashdot and our server has received close to a half a million hits since its posting. Likewise, we've been featured on regional TV channels as well as various international news outlets. As our thanks to all who have so generously supported us both in person and through the endless corners of the internet, we've posted a track from our weekend recording session. "Citadel" is a piece for soprano and L2Ork that uses a poem by Ivan Gundulic, a famous Croatian poet from the Baroque era. The piece was recorded in a beautifully reverberant Burruss rotunda on the Virginia Tech campus. No post-processing has been applied to the recording beyond a minor eq to soften lows. To listen please visit http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/ and click on the Media->Jukebox, or simply click on the link in what is currently the top post on the L2Ork blog. Once again, thank you all for your kind support. We will be starting a public l2ork-dev list soon, so if you wish to contribute, participate, or start your own L2Ork, please do not hesitate to join in on the discussion. Likewise, should you feel compelled to leave a comment, please feel free to do so on our jukebox page (no registration required).

[Consortium] [OT]: help L2Ork climb up the digg/reddit ladder

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

First of all, Apologies for cross-posting. If it is not too much of a trouble, I was wondering if I could ask fellow FOSS enthusiasts to help us in "digging" & "reddit-ing" our L2Ork announcement posted on reddit and dig earlier today. Links to the posts can be found below: <http://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/aa12z/who_says_penguins_cannot_ sing_introducing_l2ork/> <http://digg.com/linux_unix/Introducing_L2Ork_World_s_First_Linux_Laptop_Orc hestra> Once again, apologies for the OT nature of this post.
