Greetings all, I wanted to share with you my latest Linux-based and Linuxaudio.org-related project that has been sucking up most of my time over the past year or so to the point it seemed as if I have disappeared off the face of the Earth. Needless to mention it continues to alter my sleeping/eating patterns with unprecedented aptitude and with no end in sight ;-). http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/ Best wishes, Ivica Ico Bukvic, D.M.A. Composition, Music Technology Director, DISIS Interactive Sound & Intermedia Studio 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/

Hmm, a classic case where debugging solved the problem. (Sorry, I could not resist that). Ebrahim

this past weekend's linuxaudio.org downtime

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

Here's a story that may give you all a good chuckle: Last weekend Robin Gareus, our LAO guru has contacted me inquiring why there was a ~1hr linuxaudio.org server downtime that took place that Sat. morning. Luckily we now have an UPS that gives us almost 2 hours of offline power. Hence, the server went through this unscathed. Yet, the network infrastructure was also down so even though the server remained up, there was no way of reaching it. So, I went investigating what happened, and this is the reply I got from our on-campus support: Squirrel fried in transformer. Campus and part of downtown was out of power on Saturday morning before the game. [this was a football game we had in town that day with 10K+ visitors] :-) Ivica Ico Bukvic, D.M.A. Composition, Music Technology Director, DISIS Interactive Sound & Intermedia Studio 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/

jack_capture problem

by Roman Garifullin

Hi! I did not find email of Kjetil S. Matheussen and decide to write here. I tried to lauch jack_capture V0.9.35 on my PC but got error: Illegal instruction. With the help of gdb I found that the error appears in file atomic/msAtomicIntel.h at line `LOCK "cmpxchg16b (%1) \n\t"'. Google said that not all processors support cmpxchg16b instruction. Mine unfortunately does not. Is where a way to solve this problem?

strange n00b post or: how I learned to embrace open source and stop making money

by Bryant Hansen

Greeting All, This is my first posting, and I haven't been following the group very long. I actually discovered it during some research I was doing in order to promote Linux adoption to a major producer of professional audio equipment. This post is about how I might do this most effectively. It could get a bit long, and I'm not 100% certain that Linuxaudio.org is the right place for it; it might be more business than a .org site can stomach. If this doesn't sound interesting, read no further, and try to show some mercy in your flames. So, I've recently been in contact with the founder & chairman of a major audio equipment company. This company makes high-end keyboard/synthesizer/mix/record/playback equipment that's used in studios and concerts by many big names in the industry. Their devices currently run Windows, and I have an opportunity to pitch the adoption of Linux to them. I got a nice introduction from a key member of the AES, and then I wrote a 3-page report on the opportunities, challenges, and strategies of Linux adoption. This was well-received and now I've been invited for a phone conference next week. My report was an attempt to create an informative and as-unbiased-as-possible analysis of: - the advantages & disadvantages of Linux adoption - a strategy for the most effective way to get there - a list of resources and references, of which linuxaudio.org is key I might be willing to make the report available if anyone is interested, but I have to remove any references to the company I'm working with. I don't want to undermine their confidence, especially when I'm trying calm their nerves about stepping out of the world of proprietary software into that of free/open/libra, and realize their competitive advantages in other ways. Goals My key priority is to promote Linux for audio equipment and to sew the seeds of a strong, professional relationship with some key players in the audio electronics industry. However, I'm also an independent contractor, and if I can generate some paying work out of this, I will. I expect that they'll need a few paid part-timers to grease the wheels; do an initial port, setup & seed the forums, wikis, bug trackers, etc., and deal with any other important issues that volunteers don't step up to. We're slowly getting to the point of my post. I have some open questions for the group: - is there really a business case Linux adoption? ...or should this be viewed as a domain for hobbyists? - are there any ways or indicators of determining the size of the market they might reach if they adopt Linux? - any tips or suggestions about working with the community? Feel free to respond either on- or off-list. linuxaudio(at)bryanthansen.net Bryant Hansen Embedded Systems Engineer Bryant is an engineer with nearly a decade of experience working in the audio industry (at BridgeCo and Digital Harmony/Pavo).

Report: advantages, disadvantages, and strategies for Linux adoption in audio electronics

by Bryant Hansen

Greetings All, Once again, thanks for the highly-informative and friendly feedback I've received here. I figured that it was a good time to present the report that I wrote. The target audience is a company executive who might not have significant knowledge of Linux and open-source development. The data and the suggestions are fairly obvious. ...though the virtualization/emulation topics may be controversial (could invite TiVo-type troubles, or just violate the spirit of GPL). This is for another post... http://bryanthansen.net/linux-audio-proposal-edit.pdf The report is in the original form that I sent it, with the exception of replacing the company name with XYZ, Inc. I haven't updated it with information that I've received from the group. Any version 2 will be a significant step forward. Some of the key feedback that I've received from the group, which belongs in there, includes: * awareness of 64 studio, who seem to focus on exactly the type of work I'm trying to organize http://www.64studio.com/ * the existing use of Linux (and perhaps Ardour) in various products: - Korg Oasys Keyboard http://www.korg.com/Product.aspx?pd=214 - Harrison Consoles' Xdubber http://www.harrisonconsoles.com/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&task=vi… - Museresearch Receptor http://www.museresearch.com/receptor.php?r=why - Liontracks Mediastation X-76 http://www.gearjunkies.com/product_info.php?products_id=12502 - Hartmann Neuron Synthesizer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hartmann_Neuron - Indamixx http://indamixx.com/ - Midas XL8 http://www.midasconsoles.com/xl8.php * a professional institute that trains all kinds of future studio/broadcast/live-sound engineers in the use of Ardour http://www.sae.edu/en-gb/content/80/Ardour_-_SAE_Edition * The Free Firewire Audio Drivers org (FFADO.org) http://ffado.org/ * the possibility that Linux support might not have much marketing impact with professional devices (as opposed to consumer devices that are more accessible to a wider range of developers) Cheers, Bryant

delta 66, problems

by richard.bown＠blueyonder.co.uk

Hi I hope someone can help with this . I have two sound cards on this machine, a M-audio D66 which I use for SDR work and a USB PNP onboard device. I normally have pulseaudio very disabled. Since trying to get another application to run I've managed to screw things up. Portaudio pa_devs shows the card is device 2 hw 0:0, no matter which application I use no audio gets routed, yet if I run the Envy24 panel I can switch the audio input to output directly. If I install pulseaudio it can see both the card output only but not the D66 input. lsmod shows the module for the D66 card is loaded.. Any ideas, I'm close to a reinstall -- Best wishes Richard Bown ##################################################################### Registered Linux User 36561 OS: Mandriva 2009.1 x86_64, on AMD Dual Athlon 64 +4400: 8 GB RAM DDR2 Ham Call: G8JVM , QRA IO82SP, Interests Microwave ####################################################################

A New Blender Open Movie project : Durian

by Marc-Olivier Barre

Hi all, It seems the blender community is starting a new open movie project, codename Durian: http://durian.blender.org. As usual, they will use Inkscape, Gimp and of course Blender to make this new movie. I'm not sure what they used for the previous projects as far as audio is concerned. Wouldn't it be interesting for the Linux Audio community to give them a hand with the audio part of the project ? I'm thinking of providing those who will be in charge of making the audio part of the movie with some advanced support from those who know their way around ardour/jack/you-name-it. What do you think ? Shall I send an email with a proposal ? There is a chance we could get the consortium name and logo in the credits... Cheers, -- Marc-Olivier Barre XMPP ID : marco(a)marcochapeau.org www.MarcOChapeau.org
