About AGNULA: Agnula (acronym for A GNU/Linux Audio distribution,
pronounced with a strong g) is the name of a project funded until
April 2004 by the European Commission (number of contract:
IST-2001-34879; key action IV.3.3, Free Software: towards the critical
mass). After the end of the funded period, AGNULA is continuing as a
volunteer based project, aiming to spread Libre Software in the
professional audio/video arena.

[...Codito Ergo Sum...]
jack.plumbing - Announce
The JACK plumbing daemon has a new rule to dramatically reduce
ordinary rule set sizes, a new system wide configuration file, and a
new version number to indicate progress.
The rule 'also-connect' makes managing machines that connect to a
studio using an ethernet cable simpler. Adding the entry:
(also-connect "alsa_pcm:playback_1" "jack.udp-[0-9]*:in_1")
to ~/.jack.plumbing ensures that when jack.udp(1) is running in send
mode all signals that are ordinarily sent to the local audio interface
will also be sent to the network destination. The also-connect
aliasing applies to both the left and right hand side of connect
rules, so that:
(also-connect "jack.udp-[0-9]*:out_\1" "alsa_pcm:capture_\1")
works as expected.
The changes required to support this rule exacerbate the loss of
efficiency that began with the introduction of sub-expression rules.
Again the reduction is rule set sizes is the compensation, however
JACK sessions with ~= 100 ports provide serious exercise for the
plumber.
The file /etc/jack.plumbing is now consulted if it exists.
A source archive and a copy of the manual page are available at:

The latest version of the realtime Linux Security Module is now
available in the usual directory, <http://www.joq.us/realtime>.
This version handles the new concurrent groups mechanism Linus
introduced in 2.6.4. It still works with earlier 2.6 kernels. There
are no functional changes. Unless you are running 2.6.4, there is no
reason to upgrade.
The realtime LSM is an installable kernel module that enables realtime
capabilities for any 2.6.x kernel without needing to directly patch
the kernel. It was written by Torben Hohn and Jack O'Quin, who make
no warranty concerning the safety, security or even stability of your
system when using it. It is provided under the provisions of the GPL.
Thanks to Martin Habets for pointing out this kernel change and then
showing me how to handle it.
