A varied collection of LADSPA DSP plugins. http://plugin.org.uk/http://plugin.org.uk/releases/0.4.13/
Changes:
Build fix for SC4m mono compressor
Denormal fixes for SC4 mono and stereo, and lookahead limiter*
Several fixes to the multiband EQ by Sergei Steshenko
Small quality improvements for FAD and tape delays
* These are significant and highly recommended for people trying to run
JAMin on Pentium 4 machines
Enjoy,
Steve
Hi,
QjackCtl 0.2.15a has been released!
This is just a fix release, update highly recommended.
As from the change log:
- Regression from 0.2.13, of the not so stupid pseudo-mutex guards on the
connections management framework, after fixing some crash reports from
Fernando Pablo Lopez-Lezcano and Dave Phillips (thanks!); it pays to be
such a paranoid after all :).
Check it out from the usual place:
http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net
Enjoy.

Oggz 0.8.6 Release
------------------
liboggz is a C library providing a simple programming interface for reading
and writing Ogg files and streams. Ogg is an interleaving data container
developed by Monty at Xiph.Org, originally to support the Ogg Vorbis audio
format.
This release is available as a source tarball at:
http://www.annodex.net/software/liboggz/download/liboggz-0.8.6.tar.gz
New in this release:
* new oggzrip tool, for ripping individual tracks from Ogg files;
by David Kuehling
* added inbuilt parsing of FLAC headers for seeking hints, by
Tobias Gehrig. This allows Ogg FLAC files to be used with oggzmerge
and similar tools.
* fixed oggzmerge binary open bug on Win32 (Colin Ward)
* updated Win32 project by Orum
* added inbuilt parsing of Ogg Skeleton and CMML binary headers
* simplified documentation related to seeking
* added oggz_{get,set}_{granulerate,granuleshift}() query functions
About Oggz
----------
Oggz comprises liboggz and the command-line tools oggzdump, oggzdiff,
oggzmerge and oggzrip.
liboggz supports the flexibility afforded by the Ogg file format while
presenting the following API niceties:
* Full API documentation.
* Comprehensive test suite of read, write and seeking behavior.
* Developed and tested on GNU/Linux, Darwin/MacOSX, Win32 and
Symbian OS. May work on other Unix-like systems via GNU autoconf.
For Win32: nmake Makefiles, Visual Studio .NET 2003 solution files
and Visual C++ 6.0 workspace files are provided in the source
distribution.
* Strict adherence to the formatting requirements of Ogg bitstreams,
to ensure that only valid bitstreams are generated; writes can fail
if you try to write illegally structured packets.
* A simple, callback based open/read/close or open/write/close
interface to raw Ogg files.
* Writing automatically interleaves with packet queuing, and provides
callback based notification when this queue is empty
* A customisable seeking abstraction for seeking on multitrack Ogg
data. Seeking works easily and reliably on multitrack and multi-codec
streams, and can transparently parse Theora, Speex, Vorbis, FLAC and
CMML headers without requiring linking to those libraries. This
allows efficient use on servers and other devices that need to parse
and seek within Ogg files, but do not need to do a full media decode.
Full documentation of the liboggz API, customization and installation,
and mux and demux examples can be read online at:
http://www.annodex.net/software/liboggz/html/
Tools
-----
The Oggz source tarball also contains the following command-line tools,
which are useful for debugging and testing Ogg bitstreams:
* oggzdump: Hexdump packets of an Ogg file, or revert an Ogg file
from such a hexdump.
* oggzdiff: Hexdump the packets of two Ogg files and output
differences Oggz is Free Software, available under a BSD-style
license.
* oggzmerge: Merge Ogg files together, interleaving pages in order
of presentation time.
* oggzrip: Extract one or more logical bitstreams from an Ogg file.

Hi,
QjackCtl 0.2.15 has been released.
As a major new feature you are now allowed to rename (alias) the JACK/ALSA
connections client/port names to something intelligible. Another nice one
is about actual ALSA hardware device names which are now presented for
selection as a pull-down menu on the setup dialog.
Grab it from:
http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net
As taken from the change log:
- JACK/ALSA client and port name aliasing (renaming) is now an optional
feature for the connections window; all client/port aliases are saved on a
per preset basis (as proposed for Lionstracs' Mediastation).
- Server state now shown (back gain) on the system tray icon tooltip;
speaking of which, tooltips are now also featured on connections, status
and patchbay windows.
- New actual hardware device selection menu featured on setup dialog;
these new button menus are only available for the ALSA driver settings.
- Server path factory default to jackd instead of jackstart; preset setup
button icons are back.
- Fixed rare connection port item removal/disconnection dangling pointer bug.
Have fun.

Announcing blepvco 0.1.0:
http://home.jps.net/~musound/blepvco-0.1.0.tar.gz
blepvco is a LADSPA plugin library containing three anti-aliased,
minBLEP-based, hard-sync-capable oscillator plugins. The
oscillators are intended to be used with modular synthesis systems,
such as Alsa Modular Synth (a couple example AMS patches are
included). The three oscillators are:
Sync-Saw-VCO : Anti-aliased sawtooth oscillator with hard-sync
capability
Sync-Rect-VCO : Anti-aliased variable-width rectangle oscillator, with
sync
Sync-Tri-VCO : Anti-aliased variable-slope triangle oscillator, with
sync
Users of Fons Adriaensen's VCO-plugins will find these plugins
immediately familiar, since they borrow much of their interface code
from Fons' work -- indeed, if/when you do not need the hard-sync or
variable-slope triangle wave features of blepvco, his plugins may be
a better choice, because their CPU use is somewhat lower. Currently,
his VCO-plugins can be found at:
http://users.skynet.be/solaris/linuxaudio/
blepvco is written by Sean Bolton, and copyright (c)2005 under the
GNU General Public License, version 2 or later. Much thanks to Fons,
Daniel Werner, Tim Stilson and Julius Smith, and Eli Brandt.
Attached is a pdf containing the job announcement for Director of
Technical Support at Radio Free Asia. We use Linux and Free Software
for most of our network information systems and also for a number of
middleware applications that glue together our various proprietary audio
systems. We also have users beginning to test Audacity as a replacement
for Cool Edit. In the future I see a place for Ardour as a replacement
for our 30+ aging Orban Audicy(tm) DAWs, Audacity as a replacement for
Cool Edit, icecast/ogg-vorbis/ecasound to replace our hardware mp3
encoders for streaming and archiving and perhaps other uses of linux
audio software as well.
Address any replies to jobs(a)rfa.org
Thanks,
