Snd-ls v0.9.7.7
===============
Snd-ls is a distribution of Bill Schottstaedt's sound editor SND.
Its target is people that don't know scheme very well, and don't want
to spend too much time configuring Snd. It can also serve
as a quick introduction to Snd and how it can be set up.
Changes 0.9.7.7 -> 0.9.7.12:
----------------------------
-Fixed listener.
-Removed various debug printing.
-added --without-builtin-gtkrc configuration option.
-Downgraded Snd from 8.4/26.9 back to 8.4/12.9 again. That upgrade was a
mindless mistake.
-Copied all files from my private snd three into snd-ls. Hopefully, this
should make everything work again.
-Added fix to make jackdmp work with standard installation of guile.
-Don't quit snd-ls in case file can't be opened during startup. Bug
reported by Dragan Noveski.
-Disable FAM for now, because it fails for no reason during startup.
Problem reported by Dragan Noveski.

jack_capture v0.3.9
===================
jack_capture is a program for recording soundfiles with jack. Its default
operation is to capture whatever sound is going out to your speakers into
a file. This is the program I always wanted to have for jack, but no
one made. So here it is.
Changes 0.3.8 -> 0.3.9:
-----------------------
*Changed the -rt option name to -d, to be compatible with jackrec.
*Do not stop recording in case of disk errors.
*Replaced deprecated libsndfile functions.
*Added the --format/-f option. ("jack_capture -f flac", nice :-) )
(adding "-f w64" solves the 4GB limitation of wav files)
It appears that I've failed to include one project in my announcement:
Bristol
Synth emulation package for a diverse range of vintage synthesizers and
organ
https://sourceforge.net/projects/bristol/
So, this in effect brings the member count to fifty three (not that anyone
is counting)... The website will be updated to reflect this shortly.
My sincere apologies to Nick Copeland for omitting his project from the
list. If for some reason I've forgotten to include anyone else's project,
for which I do apologize in advance, please send me an e-mail.
Again, my apologies for this error.

Hi all,
(Sorry for crossposting.)
This should be interesting for all who want to extend their Pd with
programs written in languages other than C/C++. I have created Pd plugin
interfaces for these two languages:
- Q, a functional programming language based on term rewriting (my own
creation; see http://q-lang.sf.net). Q is a modern-style functional
programming language in which functions are defined by equations. It
also has an extensive collection of modules for doing graphics and
multimedia. My Pd/Q external allows you to execute Q functions in order
to do complicated control stuff in Pd, and it also provides a way to
access Q's multimedia interfaces inside Pd. This is available as a
source tarball (pd-qext-0.1.tar.gz); RPMs for Linux systems are also
available.
- Faust, Yann Orlarey's functional DSP programming language
(http://faudiostream.sf.net). Faust's programming model combines two
approaches: functional programming and block diagram composition. You
can think of Faust as a structured block diagram language with a textual
syntax. The resulting C++ code is heavily optimized and can compete in
speed with handwritten C code. My Faust architecture file allows Faust
programs to be translated to Pd externals using the Faust compiler. This
makes it very easy to create new audio externals for Pd, and a bunch of
examples are readily available. I have also written a Q script which
generates complete Pd patches with graph-on-parent GUIs from Faust
programs. This stuff can be found in the faust2pd-1.0.tar.gz package.
You can find all the good stuff, including documentation and a lot of
examples on the Q website at:
http://q-lang.sourceforge.net/examples.html#Multimedia (see the bottom
of this page). The Faust interface will also soon be available as a part
of the mainstream Faust distribution.
Yann and me will show Faust, Q and their Pd and SuperCollider interfaces
at the International Computer Music Conference (ICMC) next week in New
Orleans, so if you have an opportunity to come we hope to meet you
there. (The presentation is on the very last day of the conference, Sat
Nov 11th, 3:30 p.m., see http://www.icmc2006.org.)
For more information please see http://faudiostream.sf.net and
http://q-lang.sf.net.
Enjoy. :)

Vmwaredspjack
=============
This is the vmwaredsp program, made by Petr Vandrovec, which makes vmware
work with esd or arts. This version adds jack support as well.
(Unfortunately, jacklaunch (which is a similar program) doesn't work with
vmware, but I think Gunter is working on it... :-) .)
The program isn't always working that well, but if used with care
(don't trust the output too much) and proper tuning, you can use
professional windows audio software in vmware using jack for audio
communication.

Snd-ls v0.9.7.6
===============
Snd-ls is a distribution of Bill Schottstaedt's sound editor SND.
Its target is people that don't know scheme very well, and don't want
to spend too much time configuring Snd. It can also serve
as a quick introduction to Snd and how it can be set up.
Changes 0.9.7.1 -> 0.9.7.6:
---------------------------
-Proper debug output in case startup fails.
-Fixed bug in jack audio.
-Temporary remove the fft menu because its not working with the 26.9.2006
version of Snd. Bug found by Dragan Noveski.
-Check for the existence of the sndfile.h header file before compiling.
If it doesn't exist, snd-ls will refuse to run. Problem reported by
Krzusztof Gawlas.
-Make sure snd starts up even if no file was loaded during startup. Bug
found by Dragan Noveski.
-Really apply the workaround for the menu problem.

Jack_capture V0.3.8
===================
jack_capture is a small program to capture whatever
sound is going out to your speakers into a file.
This is the program I always wanted to have for jack, but no
one made. So here it is.
Changes 0.3.7 -> 0.3.8:
-----------------------
*Added the --recording-time option to stop recording after a certain
number of seconds.
*Quitting with CTRL-C/SIGINT writes remaining buffer to disk before
ending program.
Download from http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/
For the brave: an alpha release of Aliki (Room Impulse
Response Measurement) is now available on:
http://users.skynet.be/solaris/linuxaudio
along with a manual that should get you started.
This is basically the code used at the LAC2006
workshop, cleaned up a but.
As said, ALPHA, incomplete, probably lots of bugs.
