[linux-audio-announce] libfishsound 0.7.0 Release

by Conrad Parker

FishSound 0.7.0 Release ----------------------- libfishsound provides a simple programming interface for decoding and encoding audio data using Xiph.Org codecs (Vorbis and Speex). This release is available as a source tarball at: http://www.annodex.net/software/libfishsound/download/libfishsound-0.7.0.ta… New in this release ------------------- This release includes features backported from the development trunk: * Added typesafe encoding and decoding interfaces. Some existing interfaces are marked as deprecated, but source and binary compatibility with previous versions has been maintained. (Backported from changesets 282, 283, 285, 289, 290, 304) * Valgrind-clean: Removed memory leaks and other errors exposed by running the entire suite of unit tests under valgrind. (Changeset 1398, and Backported changesets: 285:322 src/libfishsound/comments.c 304:323 src/libfishsound/fishsound.c 332:328, 337:515, 568 src/libfishsound/vorbis.c 308, 316, 333:514 src/libfishsound/speex.c 274:516 src/tests/encdec-comments.c * Added compatibility with and detection of Speex 1.1 (Changeset 1391, and Backported changesets 306, 307) * Add support for compilation under MinGW (Erik de Castro Lopo) (Backported changeset 602) * Various build system improvements (Thomas Vander Stichele) (Backported changesets 536, 1337, 1355) * Various minor backports (Backported changesets 294, 300, 301, 302, 303, 341, 511, 518, 532, 535, 568, 607, 666, 1356, 1396) * Updated shared version info to 2:0:1 For details, see: http://trac.annodex.net/log/libfishsound/branches/1.0-stable/ About libfishsound ------------------ libfishsound by itself is designed to handle raw codec streams from a lower level layer such as UDP datagrams. When these codecs are used in files, they are commonly encapsulated in Ogg to produce Ogg Vorbis and Speex files. libfishsound is a wrapper around the existing codec libraries and provides a consistent, higher-level programming interface. It has been designed for use in a wide variety of applications; it has no direct dependencies on Ogg encapsulation, though it is most commonly used in conjunction with liboggz to decode or encode Vorbis or Speex audio tracks in Ogg files, including Ogg Theora and Annodex. FishSound has been developed and tested on GNU/Linux, Darwin/MacOSX and Win32. It probably also works 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 all provided in the source distribution. Full documentation of the FishSound API, customization and installation, and complete examples of Ogg Vorbis and Speex decoding and encoding are provided in the source tarball, and can be read online at: http://www.annodex.net/software/libfishsound/html/ FishSound is Free Software, available under a BSD-style license. More information is available online at the FishSound homepage: http://www.annodex.net/software/libfishsound/ enjoy :) -- Conrad Parker Senior Software Engineer, Continuous Media Web, CSIRO Australia http://www.annodex.net/ http://www.ict.csiro.au/cmweb/

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hi, Just to let you know and leave me with some peace of mind for the coming summer holidays, here's what: QjackCtl 0.2.18 has been released, where a couple of sloppy bugs have been fixed. Taken from the rather minimal changelog for this one: - A freezing and endless loop condition on the patchbay socket item duplication (copy) has been fixed. - Fixed output disability when messages limit option is turned off (thanks again to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this one). Right. You can grab it from the usual original place(s): http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net http://sourceforge.net/projects/qjackctl Enjoy. -- rncbc aka Rui Nuno Capela rncbc(a)rncbc.org

[linux-audio-announce] [OT] soundapps pages updated (again)

by Dave Phillips

Greetings: I've added a Musings section, corrected some URLs, and added one or two new items. You know the drill: http://linux-sound.org (USA) http://linuxsound.jp (Japan) http://linuxsound.atnet.at (Europe) Alas, the European site is giving me fits again and is not yet updated. The Japanese site will auto-update this evening. Btw, my thanks to the many people who sent kindly messages regarding these pages. I'm glad that the sites are a useful resource, despite their ancient format and lack of amenities, and since no-one else has arrived with a replacement I'll keep aperiodically updating them. I hope you all continue to find them useful and enjoyable. Best regards, Dave Phillips

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] E-Radium V0.61b

by Kjetil Svalastog Matheussen

Download from http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/ E-Radium V0.61b --------------- Released 12.7.2005 INTRODUCTION ------------ E-radium is Radium and a special version of E-UAE. Radium is a midi music editor for the amiga and E-Uae is an amiga emulator. This version of E-Uae is a hacked version of 0.28cvs, which runs with realtime priority to get accurate timing and supports alsa-seq to access midi. It does not hog the cpu as much as e-uae does either so it can be used together with various sound synthesis software running simultaniously in linux. E-radium has been tested with both the 2.4 kernel and the 2.6 kernel and with a ~1GhZ machine and a ~2ghz machine. (A 2.4 kernel with a 100hz resolution timer will proably not work very nice though.) COMPILING --------- make RUNNING ------- 1. Run ./e-radium 2. Unpress the "Pause" button. 3. Select which resolution you want to run radium with. 4. Connect midi-ports with qjackctl, aconnect, qconnect or similar tools. CONFIGURING THE KEYBOARD ------------------------ If you are a non-us keyboard user, you might have to configure the keyboard by setting the approporitate type. e-uae currently supports fr, us, de, dk, se, it and es. Pick the one closest to what you use, and put it into the "kbd_lang"-field in the file ".uarc-radium". (The keyboard should rather have been mapped directly from the keys though....) QUICK RADIUM GUIDE ------------------ * Move the editor-window to front, press "Ctrl + 1". * Maximize the editor-window, press "Altgr + 1" * Maximize the tracks in the editor-window, press "Ctrl + m" * Move the playlist-window to front, press "Ctrl + 2". * Move the Midi-properties-window to front, press "Ctrl + 3". * Move the Help-window to front, press "Ctrl+4". (Use right mouse button to access menues) * Play song press Altgr+Space. * Play block, press Right windows + Space * Stop: Press space * Continue song: Press Right Shift + Space * Undo: Press Right Windows + U * Redo: Press Right Windows + Right Shift + U * Toggle midi-editing on/off, press Esc. * Move 10 lines up/down: Press Left shift + up/down * Move between tracks: Press AltGr + left/right * Add block: Press Ctrl + f * Move to next block: Press f * Move to prev block: press a * PANIC! Hold down left and right mouse buttons for 2-10 seconds. The player should then stop. + A lot more. Check out bin/keybindings.conf for the complete list. This file can also be editied. ABOUT MIDI ---------- E-radium creates 8 public alsa-midi seq ports. Currently, only the 2 first ones are enabled. To enable more, check out the file s/startup-sequence. On the linux-side (alsa-seq), the name of the ports are uae0, uae1, uae2 and so on. On the amiga-side (camd), the name of the ports are mmp.0, mmp.1, mmp.2 and so on. These are directly connected if enabled in s/startup-sequence. Radium is currently configured to read midi from the uae0 alsa midi port. LINUX VERSION OF RADIUM ----------------------- Radium runs quite okey on its own (v0.63), but its not quite there yet. Until its there, running it via uae is the only way to use it besides using a real amiga of course (altough that is much slower than emulating).
