First version of jackpanel (0.0.1) released

by Hans Baier

The first roughly usable version 0.0.1 of jackpanel (http://www.hans-baier.de/wordpress/jackpanel) is available. jackpanel is a graphical frontend for the JACK audio server, emphasizing simplicity, good look and feel and GNOME integration. Realtime switch, latency and samplerate can be changed with one or two mouse clicks. It comes in two flavors: A GNOME panel applet and standalone. X-runs are displayed and can be reset with a mouse click. Before starting up, make sure you have a valid .jackdrc (eg. generated using qjackctl). It will be imported on first startup. Would be nice to hear some feedback, be sure to file issues to the tracker mentioned on the project homepage. Kind regards, Hans P.S.: Jackpanel currently is not goot at configuring, but running jack. You might use qjackctl for a first time setup. After that you can use gconf-editor to manually change settings. I wrote it primarily to have JACK run when GNOME starts and to monitor its status as well as change the most important settings with one or two mouse clicks. JACK server configuration will be added later.

[ANN] Ecasound 2.6.0 released

by Kai Vehmanen

Hello all, Ecasound 2.6.0 has been released! Releases notes follow: 1. Summary of changes --------------------- New interactive commands have been added to query and manage JACK port connections. More options are also now available for setting up ecasound's own JACK ports. Severe bugs in 'playat' and 'select' objects have been fixed. A refactored ECI C implementation fixes bugs and provides improved performance for ECI apps. Many minor bugs have been fixed. 2. What is Ecasound? -------------------- Ecasound is a software package designed for multitrack audio processing. It can be used for simple tasks like audio playback, recording and format conversions, as well as for multitrack effect processing, mixing, recording and signal recycling. Ecasound supports a wide range of audio inputs, outputs and effect algorithms. Effects and audio objects can be combined in various ways, and their parameters can be controlled by operator objects like oscillators and MIDI-CCs. A versatile console mode user-interface is included in the package. Primary platform for running Ecasound is GNU/Linux. Ecasound can also be run on many UNIX-derived systems such as FreeBSD, Mac OS X and Solaris. Limited support for Windows is available through Cygwin. Ecasound is licensed under the GPL. The Ecasound Control Interface (ECI) is licensed under the LGPL. 3. Changes in 2.6.x series -------------------------- - Basic support for monitoring and modifying JACK port connections, from Ecasound's interactive mode, has been added. See the ecasound-iam(1) man page and the related mailing list thread at: http://www.eca.cx/ecasound-list/2008/09/0061.html - The syntax for specifying JACK inputs and outputs has been refactored. Note that old syntax is still supported as well, although marked as deprecated. See ecasound(1) manual page and the related mail thread at: http://www.eca.cx/ecasound-list/2008/09/0066.html http://www.eca.cx/ecasound-list/2008/09/0076.html Closes sffeat:1415822 sffeat:2134183 https://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=1415822 https://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=2134183 - Important bugfixes to "playat" audio object implementation. Same bugs can also be triggered with "select". See http://eca.cx/ecasound-list/2009/01/0089.html - The standalone ECI C implementation has been refactored, fixing bugs and giving a small performance boost to ECI applications using it. Note that this code is used by most ECI language bindings. Closes sfbug:1412409 https://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=1412409 - Numerous small improvements and bugfixes. Affected bug items (not mentioned above): https://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=2527049 https://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=2505551 Full list of changes is available at: - http://www.eca.cx/ecasound/history.php 4. Interface and configuration file changes ------------------------------------------- Interactive mode commands 'ai-wave-edit', 'ao-wave-edit' and 'c-mute' (replaced by 'c-muting') have been deprecated. They still work in this release, but will be removed in a future release. JACK audio object syntax has been updated. Object keywords 'jack_generic', 'jack_auto' and 'jack_alsa' have been deprecated. They still work in this release, but will be removed in a future release. Object keywords 'jack' and 'jack_multi' should be used instead. The somewhat misleading options '--daemon', '--daemon-port', etc have been deprecated, and more appropriately named options '--server' and '--server-tcp-port' have been added. Formatting of the string returned by interactive mode command 'cs-status' (aliases 'st' and 'status'), has been updated. Largefile (LFS) support (+2GiB files) is now enabled by default, without need for specifying '--with-largefile' to configure. The default autoconf macro AC_SYS_LARGEFILE is now used to check whether the system is LFS compliant (practically all systems are nowadays). The old '--with-largefile' configure option is still there, but no longer has any effect. For background information, see: - http://www.suse.de/~aj/linux_lfs.html - http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/autoconf/System-Services.html 5.

[ANN] Aqualung 0.9beta10 released

by Tom Szilagyi

Hi all, On behalf of the developer team, it is my pleasure to announce the latest release of Aqualung, an advanced cross-platform gapless music player. This release is the result of a year's work, much of which has been done by our newly joined developer Jeremy Evans. Please see the ChangeLog below for the highlights of this release. As usual, the platform independent source tarball and the self-extracting installer for Microsoft Windows, as well as up-to-date documentation is immediately available from the project website: http://aqualung.factorial.hu Thanks, Tom 2009-02-08 Tom Szilagyi <tszilagyi at users dot sourceforge dot net> * Aqualung 0.9beta10 http://aqualung.factorial.hu * Add programmable title format support. This commit embeds a Lua interpreter inside of Aqualung for the purpose of allowing the user full control over the title format. It allows the user to use any metadata field that Aqualung recognizes, as well as a few fields from the file info in order to compose a title field. See the documentation update included in this release for usage information for this feature. * Loop playback enhancements: New key bindings '<' and '>' for adjusting loop range start and end (respectively) to the current playing position. Active only when track repeat mode is on and a track is currently playing or paused. Added tooltip showing loop range in percentage and time (if there is a track loaded). Tooltips must be globally enabled for this feature. * Allow the systray to be disabled even if support is compiled in. * Add support for saving single playlists in M3U format. If the playlist file name ends with .m3u, it will save in M3U format (one filename per line) instead of the Aqualung XML format. This only affects the logic around saving single playlists; if you save all playlists at once, it will always use the XML format, because the M3U format does not support multiple playlists. * Add support for sndio backend, bringing the total number of backends to five. libsndio was recently introduced in OpenBSD as a simple audio API that supports OpenBSD's builtin sound server, aucat. * Add playlist context menu option 'Roll to active song'. * Optionally combine Play and Pause buttons into a single button. * Fix gapless MPEG audio playback (correct offset calculation) when ID3v2 tag is present. * Export can now copy files instead of reencoding them using the new target format "Copy". * A subset of input files can be forced to be copied instead of being reencoded. There are two criteria for this: when the source file is already in the target format, and when the source file matches any of a comma-separated list of wildchards (similarly to the builder exclusion list). Both options can be enabled/disabled from the Export dialog. * Handle HTTP/1.0 responses. * When updating all feeds, insert 1 second delay between individual feeds. * Added right-click menu items for adding only new podcasts to playlist. * Music Stores can now use relative paths instead of absolute ones, allowing users to mount the same collection on different mount points (just one use case). Implementation is based on the patch by Russell Johnston, big thanks for both the idea and the contribution. A checkbox for toggling this feature is added to the Edit Store dialog (accessible via the right-click menu of stores). * All filenames use the GLib filename encoding instead of locale encoding. This is the proper and official way of doing it; if you have issues using filenames with special characters, consider setting the G_FILENAME_ENCODING or G_BROKEN_FILENAMES environment variables. If you are using an UTF-8 locale (a very wise choice), you have nothing to worry about. * Add extra check for mad.h presence to configure. * New store builder option to automatically remove non-existing files from the store. It is disabled by default. * Added new Swedish translation by Niklas Grahn. * Numerous minor bugfixes.

[ANN] JACK 0.116.2 + D-Bus

by Nedko Arnaudov

Tarball containing D-Bus patched jack 0.116.2 is available here: http://nedko.arnaudov.name/soft/jack/dbus/ http://nedko.arnaudov.name/soft/jack/dbus/jack-audio-connection-kit-dbus-0.… http://nedko.arnaudov.name/soft/jack/dbus/jack-audio-connection-kit-dbus-0.… D-Bus modifications add optional autodetected support for the D-Bus based server control system. D-Bus is object model that provides IPC mechanism. D-Bus supports autoactivation of objects, thus making it simple and reliable to code a "single instance" application or daemon, and to launch applications and daemons on demand when their services are needed. * Simplified single thread model for control and monitor applications. Various D-Bus language bindings make it trivial to write control and monitor applications using scripting languages like Python, Ruby, Perl, etc.. * JACK has log file (~/.log/jack/jackdbus.log) that is available for inspection even when autoactivation happens because of first JACK application is launched. * There is real configuration file used to persist settings that can be manipulated through configuration interface of JACK D-Bus object. * Improved graph inspection and control mechanism. JACK graph is versioned. Connections, ports and clients have unique (monotonically increasing) numeric IDs. * High level abstraction of JACK settings. Allows applications that can configure JACK to expose parameters that were not known at compile (or tarball release) time. Currently there are some minor differences between jack1 jackdbus and jack2 jackdbus: * There is no parameter constraints support (no enums and no ranges) * No get client pid function (probably affects lash) * Settings file (in ~/.config/jack/) is conf-jack1.xml instead of conf.xml, because jack1 and jack2 settings and not really compatible. When configured with D-Bus support, jack_control is installed. jack_control is simple commandline interface for jackdbus. Other tools that can communicate with JACK through D-Bus: * LADItools (tray icon, configuration, etc.) * Patchage (and lpatchage too) * LASH 0.6.x (may not work properly with jack1 jackdbus implementation) -- Nedko Arnaudov <GnuPG KeyID: DE1716B0>
