re all!
i'm waiting for such a thing to be cheaply available to most people for
the goal of my dyne:bolic: production means to the masses!
so i'm keeping an eye on the "household appliances" market to see what's
going on, found this:
http://www.semiconductors.philips.com/news/infocus/nexperia_personal_media_…
it's quite interesting if it gets thru the market such a thing (as i was
told "secretly" by some guy at philips some time ago, they are going
such a direction) and it's supported by some free operating system easy
to employ and able to exploit most of its capabilities.
so the question:
anybody with more time for human language than code wants to team up to
investigate opportunities of collaboration with Philips on such a goal?
i'm open to suggestion, maybe we can employ this consortium to deal with
consumer grade and not only with professional grade market companies...
ciao

This would probably be a good candidate as a .linuxaudio.org
subdomain.
Should we make the guy such an offer?

Hello all,
I asked Sound on Sound magazine to provide a Linux forum on their site
(in addition to Windows, Mac, Atari etc) and they have done this
today. You can see the link at:
http://sound-on-sound2.infopop.net/2/OpenTopic
The forums are quite heavily used, and you don't need to subscribe to
the magazine to post messages.
Cheers
Daniel

hello,
FYI
The First European Seminar on Free Software for Multimedia Streaming
over Internet
AHAHAHAHAHAHA.. ehr, ups, sorry, i'm still laughing since i read it
i mean: european institutions are playing being prehistorical or what?
being 2004 we have had a whole lot of such seminars allready, all over.
good luck Andrea, it's quite some responsability to be there ;)
ciao (that's just inter-nos sarcasm, no polemic eh)
======================================================================
FSMSI 2004
First european seminar
on
Free software for multimedia streaming over internet
June 23/24, 2004
IRCAM, Paris, France
http://freesoftware.ircam.fr/fsmsi2004
======================================================================
SCOPE OF THE SEMINAR
The exponential growth of network speed makes it possible to
exchange high quality audio and video contents over the Internet,
often with real time capabilities. However, multimedia streaming
still presents several issues with regards to Free Software and open
standards: patents on software and data formats, free codecs
availability, standards definitions, etc, etc. The goal of this
seminar is to provide an overview of existing Free Software for
multimedia streaming over Internet, to envisage future developments
and collaborations in this area and to examine the possible ways to
fund these developments.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
* Standards and open protocols for multimedia streaming
* Free implementations of open protocols
* Free players for multimedia contents
* Free servers for multimedia streaming
* Server architectures for multimedia streaming
* Open multimedia formats
* Free codec implementations
* Real time multimedia streaming
* Interactive multimedia applications
INVITED SPEAKERS

Hello all,
For the benefit of people who weren't able to attend, I'll summarise
the result of the linuxaudio.org meeting at the International Linux
Audio Conference in Karlsruhe, Germany last week.
The two main issues that were discussed were the legal status of the
linuxaudio.org consortium, and website consolidation.
On the first point, several people thought that the organisation could
benefit by becoming a legal entity, such as a registered
not-for-profit organisation. This possibility raises several
questions. In which country would it be registered? How would the
inevitable overhead caused by bureauracy be handled so that it did
not disproportionately consume advocacy resources? Could official
status actually restrict consortium activities?
It was pointed out that linux audio information is distributed among
many different websites, some with ambiguous or misleading domain
names, such as eca.cx or linuxdj.com (which is not really about
DJ'ing). In addition, Dave Phillips is looking for help to automate
content management on linux-sound.org and its mirrors, and for new
site editors.
The consortium could help here by co-ordinating a reorganisation of
sites around the most appropriate domain names, using sub-domains
where appropriate. Then content management systems could be used to
spread the work of maintaining sites among teams of editors.
Naturally there would have to be legacy links in place to make sure
that information was not lost.
I'd be very interested to hear list members' opinons on these two
issues, or any other matters that need to be raised.
Cheers!
Daniel James
Director

Great! I'll add Xiph to the members' page.
> Our only concern about linuxaudio.org is the wording of policy #5:
>
> The Linuxaudio.org consortium supports open standards and file
> formats. However, it recognises that reverse engineering of
> proprietary formats is sometimes required to enable
> interoperability.
> I think it's important for the Free Software movement's future that

> standards _by default_, and only then concern ourselves with the
> rest.
I'd agree - I think the use of the word 'sometimes' here was intended
to indicate that. The only reason that proprietary formats were
mentioned at all was that some developers wanted protection for
reverse engineering, following cases like Sklyarov. In practice, this
protection has been hard to get a consensus for among commercial
companies.
> I suppose we should coordinate some kind of joint press
> release or announcement once the red tape is over.
Sounds good to me!

May 10, 2004 - The Xiph.org Foundation has joined the Linuxaudio.org
consortium, becoming the newest member and bringing the total number
of members to nineteen.
Linuxaudio.org is a not-for-profit consortium of companies and
software projects using Linux kernel based systems and other libre
software for audio work, with an emphasis on professional tools for
the music, recording and broadcast industries. The consortium aims to
co-ordinate joint projects between members, collaborate on the
promotion of Linux based systems for audio tasks, and provide a
single point of contact for prospective industry partners.
Daniel James, Linuxaudio.org director, commented: "With the welcome
addition of the Xiph.org Foundation, our consortium now has members
working on all aspects of Linux audio. The Xiph.org Foundation codec
projects and related software perfectly complement existing members'
work on hardware, drivers, applications, plugins and Linux
distributions. Together, we can now offer complete Linux-based
solutions to the audio industry and user communities all over the
world."
The Xiph.org Foundation is a not-for-project multimedia research and
development company, focused on the creation of next generation
codecs and tools for audio and video that are both open and
royalty-free. Current projects include the Vorbis audio codec for
general purpose audio compression, the Speex codec for voice
compression, and the Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC).
More information on the Linuxaudio.org consortium and the Xiph.org
Foundation can be obtained by visiting our respective websites:

Hello all,
At the LinuxUser & Developer Expo this week in London, linuxaudio.org
had a small presence alongside the Rosegarden stand. As well as Chris
Cannam and Richard Bown from the Rosegarden team, Tim Hall (who is a
musician and Demudi user) came to help out.
We made new contacts with OSDL, Sun, SUSE and the BBC R&D department,
with the latter having a stand of their own this year. (Many of the
BBC techies are pro-Linux, and they are trying to work more closely
with the community).
Cheers

re all!
i was wondering if anybody here knows about possibilities to get hosted
in Karlsruhe for the linux-audio-dev meeting (or even maybe get the trip
payed!) - i'd like to come and stay a few days, show dyne:bolic and get
in touch with you guys, alltough i'm unable to rely on my own funds for
such nice meetings.
thanks anyway, in case i'd rather ask you to bring a copy of dyne:bolic
with you for anybody who is interested, there might be some.
Irie!
