A pretty old and terribly overdue JACK MIDI crash bug as been fixed.
Hopefully at last. Ones who've been using the ALSA-MIDI (aka. ALSA
Sequencer) interface exclusively don't need to worry. All the rest
please apply ;)
QmidiNet 0.1.2 released!
Have fun!
QmidiNet [1] is a MIDI network gateway application that sends and
receives MIDI data (ALSA-MIDI and JACK-MIDI) over the network, using
UDP/IP multicast. Inspired by multimidicast [2] and designed to be
compatible with ipMIDI [3] for Windows.

Change-log:
- JACK MIDI in-bound buffering was originally flawed and often the cause
for severe random crashes, mostly due to memory corruption, now
hopefully fixed.
- Changed order of JACK MIDI and UDP socket initialization, hoping the
later is always owned by the current genuine process.
- JACK MIDI interface were sinking all incoming events into the the
first port, now fixed (heads up from Chris Goddard, thanks).
- Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
- Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
configure script eg. --datadir.
- Main context menu simple no-brainer reordering.

License:
QjackCtl is free, open-source software, distributed under the terms
of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later.
Change-log:
- Killing D-BUS controlled JACK server is now made optional, cf.
Setup/Misc/Stop JACK audio server on application exit. (a patch by
Roland Mas, thanks).
- Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
- Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
- A mis-quoting bug at the command line argument string may have been
crippling the (unmaintained) Windows port since ever, leaving its main
function to start jackd dead in the water, belly down :) now hopefully
fixed (following a mail transaction with Stephane Letz and Mathias
Nagorni, thanks).
- Currently a JACK2-only feature, the JACK version string display at the
About dialog box, must now be explicitly enabled on configure time
(--enable-jack-version).
- A new so called "Server Suffix" parameter option appears to rescue on
the situations where QjackCtl falls short on extra, exquisite and/or
esoteric command line options eg. (net)jack1/2 differences.
- Fixed D-Bus Input/Output device parameter settings, filled when either
interface is selected for Capture/Playback only. (probable fix for bug
#3441860).
- Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir, --mandir. (after an
original patch from h3xx, thanks).
- Main window is now brought to front and (re)activated when clicking on
the system tray icon instead of just hiding it.
- Add current xrun count to the system tray icon tooltip, if not zero
(after patch #3314633 by Colin Fletcher, thanks).
Enjoy && Have fun!

On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the availability of Rivendell v2.1.4. Rivendell is a full-featured radio automation system targeted for use in professional broadcast environments. It is available under the GNU General Public License.
From the NEWS file:
*** snip snip ***
Changes:
This is a maintenance release of Rivendell. Some of the issues
addressed include:
RDCatch XLoad Wildcards. Several new wildcards and meta-characters
have been added for specifying URLs in RDCatch, including:
$e -- Day of the month, space padded ( 1 - 12)
$E -- Day of the month, unpadded (1 - 12)
^ -- Convert value indicated by following format character to all
uppercase.
$ -- Convert the initial character of the value indicated by the
following format character to uppercase.
A complete list of wildcards can be found in 'docs/datetime_wildcards.txt'.
HPI Compatibility. Updated HPI subsystem to work with the latest
AudioScience driver versions (v4.10.x).
RDLibrary Reports. Fixed a problem where generated reports would
not accurately reflect the current cart filters.
A detailed list of all bugfixes can be found in the ChangeLog.
Database Update:
This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 205, and will
automatically upgrade any earlier versions. To see the current schema
version prior to upgrade, see RDAdmin->SystemInfo.
As always, be sure to run RDAdmin immediately after upgrading to allow
any necessary changes to the database schema to be applied.

Hi all,
I am glad to announce the release of NASPRO 0.4.1.
NASPRO (http://naspro.atheme.org/) is meant to be a cross-platform
sound processing software architecture built around the LV2 plugin
standard (http://lv2plug.in/).
The goal of the project is to develop a series of tools to make it
easy and convenient to use LV2 for sound processing on any (relevant)
platform and for everybody: end users, host developers, plugin
developers, distributors and scientists/researchers.
This is just a small update to NASPRO Bridge it and NASPRO bridges that:
* makes use of LV2 Atom for MIDI events;
* enables LRDF-equivalent bundle installation and automatic
translation of DSSI programs to LV2 presets by default;
* aligns with the unified LV2 distribution.
Enjoy!
Hi all,
A bit more than two weeks ago LAC 2012 was closing its doors and The
Knoll felt suddenly empty. In the meantime part of the amazing team that
helped us host this year's Linux Audio Conference has been working in
the background, uploading, encoding, compressing, editing and posting
pictures, videos, slides and papers. All the goodness that happened in
those very intense four days is now there, ready and available for download:
http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2012/
Thanks to everyone that helped make it a reality, and to all those that
participated both here and through Ethernet packets. A substantial
subset of all the local lac'ers was captured in a picture which Robin[*]
promptly transformed into a great who's who...
Great papers, very good music and very good memories! So let's start
preparing new stuff for next year's LAC2013 @ Graz! Passing the baton on
to the next host... go go GO!!

[*] special thanks to Robin and Jörn for a killer web site and
organization, amazing dvswitch hacks, super professional streaming,
sound and video, the best that could be done with limited resources. And
to Carr Wilkerson, Sasha Leitman and many others for their tireless
support work. Thanks!

Hi *!
On behalf of the conference organizers, we would like to invite you to
join the Linux Audio Conference 2012, kindly hosted by the Center for
Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) at Stanford University.
The conference will start tomorrow, Thursday April 12, at 10:00 PST
(that's UTC - 0700). Please refer to the schedule at
http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2012/program
for detailed information.
We will be streaming all paper presentations live in Ogg Theora/Ogg
Vorbis format. Users of the Firefox browser should be able to watch this
natively without any plugins. For users of other browsers, we recommend
VLC, a cross-platform media player which you can download from
http://videolan.org.
You are invited to join us on IRC while you're watching the streams, the
conference channel is #lac2012 on freenode.net, to be accessed with the
chat client of your choice, or via
http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=lac2012
Remote participants can post their questions or remarks on this channel,
and a local chat operator here in Stanford will then relay them to the
presenters and the local audience. You can also use this channel to get
help in case of viewing problems.
All presentations will be recorded and uploaded for off-line watching
within a day or so.
Needless to say, access to all streams is free of charge. This is all
about open source after all :)
The primary stream relay is available at
http://ccrma.stanford.edu:8080 (located on the west coast of the US).
A secondary relay which is preferrable for European users is at
http://streamer.stackingdwarves.net (located in Germany).
Best regards,
the LAC stream team.
gst123-0.3.1 has been released.
Overview of changes in gst123-0.3.1:
------------------------------------
* Added quiet mode (Issue 9).
* Ignore image files during playback (Issue 1).
* Added keybinding 'n' for 'play next file'.
What is gst123?
---------------
The program gst123 is designed to be a more flexible command line player in the
spirit of ogg123 and mpg123, based on gstreamer. It plays all file formats
gstreamer understands, so if you have a music collection which contains
different file formats, like flac, ogg and mp3, you can use gst123 to play all
your music files.
Since gst123-0.1.0 support for watching videos has been added; however gst123
should run fine in situations where no X11 display is available; videos can be
played without X11 display, too (-x, --novideo); in this case, only the audio
stream will be played.
It is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version 2
