high-quality sound card for ExpressCard slot which is (well-)supported under Linux

by Martin T

Hello, I would like to buy high-quality sound card for my laptop. There are no other requirements besides quality audio output, ExpressCard 34 or 54 form-factor and single 3.5mm TRS jack socket. Has anyone tested Echo "Indigo IOx ExpressCard" sound card under Linux(I mainly use Debian or Debian-based distributions)? According to indigoiox.c C source file in ALSA source tarball, Echo "Indigo IOx ExpressCard" seems to be supported. Any practical experience with this particular sound card under Linux? In addition, what sort of improvement I should expect compared to Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller? Or should I prefer some other high-quality sound card for ExpressCard slot? regards, Martin

LAO scheduled downtime

by Robin Gareus

Hi all, Ico - director of linuxaudio.org - arranged to quadruple the disk-space for our servers. Amongst other things, this will allow us to host large sample-collections (an endeavor Nils has started) as well as prepare for videos from the upcoming Linux-Audio-Conference. linuxaudio.org services will be offline for 5-10 mins later today (around 45 min from now). 26/Sept - 16:00 UTC thanks for your understanding. robin

Archival of Audio Distributions - Hall of Fame

by Patrick Shirkey

Hi, I propose that we create a new subdomain called : distro.linuxaudio.org At this location we create a webpage that lists all the audio distributions for linux audio and serves as a canonical reference for projects that have been abandoned. We also host the latest/last version of every distribution on the list. Kind of like a history of Linux Audio Distributions. One appeal in hosting this at linuxaudio.org is that there are a few distros already hosted there. Another is that it might keep the flame burning for people who are thinking of rolling their own in the future. Distro's take a considerable amount of time and effort to produce so honouring them with a "Hall of Fame" so to speak is fulfilling the remit of the consortium to promote Linux Audio to a wider audience. Of course if there is no interest project I will set it up on linux-audio.com so either way we don't loose out. In an ideal situation we host the data in a couple of locations for redundancy. Given that linuxaudio.org servers are in the USA and linux-audio.com servers are in the EU it seems like a good combination to me. Taking it a step further maybe we can get some of the EU based Universities or institutes to contribute some hardware and then I don't have to pay for the EU host out of my own pocket. -- Patrick Shirkey Boost Hardware Ltd

ANN: New version of Pd-L2Ork Software Featured in the Inaugural VT ICAT Maker Workshop for Middle-School Kids

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

Apologies for x-posting... It's been a busy summer--pd-l2ork <http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/?page_id=56>has been making big strides towards becoming a robust full-fledged digital signal processing tool. The latest version includes revolutionary preset_hub and preset_node system that supports a wide range of data types as well as abstractions. It is essentially Pd's counterpart toMax's pattrstorage <http://cycling74.com/docs/max5/refpages/max-ref/pattrstorage.html>. We've also squashed dozens of bugs and clean-ups making pd-l2ork better than ever. Perhaps the most exciting improvement involves Pd-L2Ork'sK12 module <http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/?p=1964>geared towards elementary, middle, and high school students. The new version has over 40 objects/abstractions, allowing students to seamlessly interact with both Wiimotes andSARC iteration of Arduino Uno devices (a.k.a. Sarcduino firmware) <http://www.musicsensorsemotion.com/2010/03/08/sarcduino/>. And this very version together with 15 L2Ork stations is being used this week by more than 30 middle-school students as part of the inauguralICAT K12 Maker Workshop <http://www.icat.vt.edu/> taking place in Virginia Tech Institute for Creativity, Arts & Technology's Studio 1. So, head on over to the L2Ork's software page <http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/?page_id=56>and check out what the latest version of pd-l2ork is all about ;-) Best wishes, -- Ivica Ico Bukvic, D.M.A Composition, Music Technology Director, DISIS Interactive Sound & Intermedia Studio Director, L2Ork Linux Laptop Orchestra Head, ICAT IMPACT Studio Virginia Tech Department of Music Blacksburg, VA 24061-0240 (540) 231-6139 (540) 231-5034 (fax) disis.music.vt.edu l2ork.music.vt.edu ico.bukvic.net

wiki.LAO - lockdown to registered users

by Robin Gareus

Hi all, http://wiki.linuxaudio.org is seeing an increasing amount of SPAM. For a while it has been sufficient to [fail2]ban IP addresses that incorrectly guess CAPTCHA - ie. prevent brute-force attacks and manually revert the remaining pollution. -- Yet in the last months either CAPTCHA breaking has improved or there are real persons doing the spamming. I did not do statistics, but from watching the changelog I gather that the vast majority of contributions to the wiki comes from registered users. So the idea is to lock the wiki down and only allow registered users (registration requires an email address) to edit it. Thoughts? Objections? robin

One idea would be to revert the DB to a last-known good state and then freeze the site until s.o. comes up with a small script that imports the content into the wiki. Not sure how useful that'd be, though. Wine and linux-VST-support have evolved quite a bit since you've started that project. 2c, robin
