Hi,
A fresh new release from the FreeBoB project is available. It is only a
maintenance release. It fixes a few bugs which were reported. If you
don't have problems with the your current version of libfreebob, there
is no reason to update to this one.
Available through the SourceForge release system at:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=117802
Have fun recording!
The FreeBoB Team
PS: Expect FFADO soon...
I'm pleased to announce the release of FluidSynth 1.0.8.

All we composers really have to work with is time and sound - and
sometimes I'm not even sure about sound.

Call For Presentations
==================
Just a reminder that the Call for Presentation submissions for LCA
Multimedia is slowly approaching its deadline.
Please send your abstracts to lca-mm(at)annodex.net or myself for a submission.
LCA Multimedia is a miniconf, part of linux.conf.au, the annual
Australian Linux & open source developers' conference.
When: 28th January 2008
Where: Melbourne University, Linux.conf.au
Dates and Deadlines:
* Sept 2007 - Call for Presentations distributed
* 30th Nov 2007 - Deadline for submissions
* 15th Dec 2007 - Programme published
* 28 Jan 2008 - Miniconf
http://www.annodex.org/events/lca2008_mmm/
The aim of this mini-conf is to allow Linux audio and video developers
and users to meet and share ideas, and also to discuss
multimedia-related issues with the developers of the kernel,
networking and desktop systems. For all users, it will be a great way
to see and hear the variety of tools available and to contribute.
Presentations may be Full length (50 min), Half length (25 min) or
Lightning talks (10 min).
Full and half length presentations include time for audience
interaction. Facilities will be a lecture with data projector.
Lightning talks are short talks/presentations that last no more than
10 minutes. This is a good opportunity to introduce a new project or
tool. Slides have to be submitted beforehand to allow a quick
progression of talks.
Topics
Examples of topics for presentations include (but are not limited to):
* audio and video applications on Linux
* Linux for digital audio workstations and musical instruments
* video editing and postproduction on Linux
* low latency and reliable audio and video in the Linux kernel and userspace
* systems for connecting music, processing and control hardware
* media frameworks: gstreamer, xine, ffmpeg, etc.
* core Linux audio subsystems: Jack, ALSA, LADSPA, OSS, libsydneyaudio etc.
* software synthesis and sequencing applications
* recording, editing and mastering applications
* audio and video file formats and codecs
* streaming and network services for audio and video
* telephony and speech technologies
* video conferencing
Presentations must relate to Free and open source software and/or open
standards.

Hi all,
After years the developers of SuperCollider decided to start making official
releases, which has led to release 3.1!
You can download it here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=54622
A lot of changes and improvements have been made over the last few
weeks leading up to this release. If you haven't upgraded in a while,
now would be a good time to do so!
If you are a package manager for a distribution, it is suggested to use the
new released version to update the package (this will make it easier on the
user emaillist to help with questions).
sincerely,
on behalf of the SuperCollider developers,
Marije Baalman
Amuc (the Amsterdam Music Composer) version 1.5 has been available for some
monthes already, but here is the official announcement.
http://members.chello.nl/w.boeke/amuc/index.html
Amuc is a light-weight tool for composing and playing music. 'Light-weight' in
the sense of not needing graphical or other toolkits. It is very fast and
offers useful features to help the inexperienced composer. Now it also
incorporates a pitch extractor, translating a wave file to notes. Listen to a
fast solo by John Coltrane on saxophone, followed by the extracted tune with
a simple accompaniment, and then with a synthetic bass gitar and sampled drums:

a2jmidid is daemon for exposing legacy ALSA sequencer applications in
JACK MIDI system. It is based on jack-alsamidi-0.5 (jackd alsa seq midi
backend) by Dmitry Baikov. The main purpose is to ease usage of legacy,
not JACK-ified apps, in JACK MIDI enabled systems.
New in this release is addition of configure script (autotools) that
enables compatibility with different JACK MIDI API variants.
Planned features/improvements:
* One JACK client per ALSA sequencer client
* More control on what ports to bridge (currently bridging is fixed to
non-hardware ports).
* Real daemonization with log file, init.d script, etc.
If someone wants to contribute please, contact me, or send patches, or
request inclusion (Gna! a2jmidid project). As usual, packagers are more
than welcome too.
