announcing envy24control, mudita (*) edition.

by Niels Mayer

Summary of updates from envy24control 0.6.0 (GIT HEAD) to "1.0.0": (0) After a decade, incremented version to 1.0.0 (**) (1) Implemented missing "Peak Hold" functionality in meters and reimplemented meters for increased efficiency and lower X resource usage. (see http://www.linuxaudio.org/mailarchive/lad/2010/7/12/171535 & https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=602903 ) (2) All volumes are represented as decibels, including the 0 to -48dB range of the hardware peak-meters, the 0 -to- -144dB attenuation for all inputs to the digital mixer, the 0 -to- -63dB attenuation of the analog DAC, and the +18 -to- -63dB attenuation/amplification of the analog ADC. (3) All gtk "scale" widgets have dB legends; the "PageUp" "PageDown" keys allow rapid movement between the marked levels. (4) Got rid of myriad compile warnings and other minor fixes across codebase. Some screenshots: http://nielsmayer.com/envy24control/Screenshot-Envy24Control-AnalogVolume.p… http://nielsmayer.com/envy24control/Screenshot-Envy24Control-MonitorInputs.… http://nielsmayer.com/envy24control/Screenshot-Envy24Control-MonitorPCM.png ------------ To the ALSA project: please consider this patch to alsa-tools' envy24control (**): http://nielsmayer.com/envy24control/envy24control-0.6-to-1.0.patch (patch to 'envy24control' from GIT trunk/head of alsa-tools) http://nielsmayer.com/envy24control/envy24control-1.0.README (summary of changes from 0.6.0 to 1.0.0) ------------ Those wanting to compile directly, or run a 64 bit linux binary I've built: http://nielsmayer.com/envy24control/envy24control-1.0.tar.gz (full directory, just follow README directions to build/install) http://nielsmayer.com/envy24control/envy24control-1.0-fc12-x86_64.tar.gz (x86_64 binary that should work on fedora12 and equivalent OpenSuse release) I'd appreciate any testing results or comments on this "1.0.0" release. In particular, I'd like some assurance that the dB markings on sliders in "Analog Volume" panel are correct (compared to values reported by 'alsamixer'). I'm looking for testing with following devices (as I think my testing covers code for M-Audio Delta 44 & Delta 66, Terratec Dmx6fire & EWX2496) specifically: M-Audio Delta 1010, M-Audio Audiophile 2496, M-Audio Delta 1010LT TerraTec EWS 88MT, TerraTec EWS 88D, TerraTec Phase 88, Hoontech SoundTrack DSP 24 (all variants). Thanks, Niels http://nielsmayer.com PS: (*) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envy#In_philosophy :: "mudita, taking joy in the good fortune of another. This virtue is considered the antidote to envy and the opposite of schadenfreude." (**) http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-tools.git;a=tree;f=envy24control;h=d5a5…

JACK Network Manager 0.2.3

by Mike Cookson

JACK NetSource GUI is renamed to JACK Network Manager (jack-netmanager-gtk), since jack_netsource is only a command line front-end for jack netmanager module. Changes: - Name changed from jack-netsource-gui to jack-netmanager-gtk (humany name - JACK Network Manager), since jack_netsource is just a wrapper, controlling jack "netmanager" module. - Presets support, deprecating creation of script with tray support, due to ability to reuse ordinary scripts by JACK Network Manager itself. During of preset saving name is requested and approriate script is stored in presets directory. - Ability to start sources at LADISH rooms. - ladish_launch is deprecated. ladish_control snewapp and rnewapp commands used instead. - Improved desktop launcher - New system tray icons; added application icon, unwantedly removed from 0.2.2 - Fixed help text - Options for jack_netsource from various jack versions are stored in separated file now - Internationalization of bash scripts through gettext - Build system improvements: all text files are configured - e.g., instalation prefix now is working. Configured files are stored into separate build directory, which is autonomous and can be distributed. Also, uninstalation is available. - Internationalization improvements: added update-locales script, which updates template with translations at once, and localization of bash scripts through gettext. Note for distribution maintainers: if you place menu items for special audio software into extra submenus inside standart Audio menu, it would be nice to have JACK Network Manager item in one place with QJackNet (at least) and QJackCtl. And create dummy jack-netsource-gui package for smooth upgrade. Page at GTK-Apps: http://gtk-apps.org/content/show.php/JACK+Network+Manager?content=122327 Latest screenshot is third.

[ANN] Drumstick 0.4.1 released

by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas

Drumstick is a C++ wrapper around the ALSA library sequencer interface using Qt4 objects, idioms and style. ALSA sequencer provides software support for MIDI technology on Linux. Complementary classes for SMF and WRK file processing are also included. This library is used in KMetronome, KMidimon and KMid2, and was formerly known as "aseqmm". Changes: * Removed the precompiled headers build option * Fixed a bug that affected users running dumstick-based applications with realtime priority enabled. There is a related problem in glib-2.22 that has not yet been fixed (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=599079). This issue prevented to execute FluidSynth from inside KMid at startup in those affected systems.

StretchPlayer 0.502: Real-time audio player with time stretch

by Gabriel M. Beddingfield

I am pleased to release StrechPlayer 0.502, a time-stretching, pitch-shifting audio file player. It is powered by librubberband, and also features an A/B repeat. NEW IN THIS RELEASE ------------------- * Reduced Xorg load (was typ. 20-30% CPU even when idle) * Fix build errors on 64-bit systems (incompatible integer types). * Add CMake USE_COMPOSITING option to explicitly disable compositing features. LINKS ----- Home Page: http://www.teuton.org/~gabriel/stretchplayer/ Tarball: http://www.teuton.org/~gabriel/stretchplayer/stretchplayer_0.502.tar.gz Binary: Ubuntu/Karmic http://www.teuton.org/~gabriel/stretchplayer/stretchplayer_0.502_karmic_i38… http://www.teuton.org/~gabriel/stretchplayer/stretchplayer-dbg_0.502_karmic… Debian Dsc: http://www.teuton.org/~gabriel/stretchplayer/stretchplayer_0.502.dsc Git: http://gitorious.org/stretchplayer git://gitorious.org/stretchplayer/stretchplayer.git USING THE PROGRAM ----------------- After stretchplayer is installed, there should be an [S] icon under Multimedia or Sound. Or, you can run it from the command line like this: $ stretchplayer The GUI is pretty self-explanatory, and if you hover over the controls a tool-tip should appear. The GUI also has several keyboard accelerators. To play a file, click the file-open icon and select an audio file. Stretchplayer can play anything that libsndfile supports (ogg, flac, wav, etc.). However, it does /not/ support MP3 files at this time. As the file plays, slide the horizontal slider left or right to change the speed of the song. If you wish to transpose the audio, push one of the + or - buttons. INSTALLING THE PROGRAM ---------------------- You will need at least a 1200 MHz processor[1] to use this program. It also requires the following libraries: * Qt >= 4.4 http://qt.nokia.com * librubberband http://www.breakfastquay.com/rubberband/ * libsndfile http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/ * JACK http://jackaudio.org/ * CMake http://www.cmake.org/ If you are running Ubuntu Karmic or Ubuntu Jaunty, you can install the .deb packages like this (from the command line): $ sudo dpkg -i stretchplayer*_0.502_karmic_i386.deb Anyone else will need to build from source. Please read the INSTALL.txt file that comes with the taarball. Peace, Gabriel M. Beddingfield 2010-07-11 [1] With this release, Stretchplayer works OK (but not great) with an 800MHz Celeron processor. Before this release, it was unusable on this system.
