[linux-audio-announce] Open Sound System v4.0 released

by Hannu Savolainen

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Open Sound System v4.0 Released. CULVER CITY, CA, March 15, 2007: 4Front Technologies is announcing the availability of Open Sound System (OSS) version 4.0 for Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, Open Server6 and UnixWare7. Open Sound System is a cross platform audio architecture that provides drivers for most consumer and professional audio devices and comes with an API that allows applications to be simply recompiled on any of the supported operating systems. New Features: o New and improved transparent Virtual Mixer engine - Allows up to 16 applications to share the same "real" audio device. - Supports recording and full duplex in addition to playback. - Ability to mix stereo and multichannel audio streams up to 7.1/192Khz/32bit. - Supports full 24 bit range without loss of precision during internal computations. - mmap() support for games like DoomIII and Quake4. - Each application has its own independant volume controls. - Supports loop back recording. o Full Solaris Audio Device Architecture (SADA) emulation on Solaris so that legacy Solaris audio apps can run on Open Sound System drivers. o Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) Library emulation support so that popular ALSA apps (the ones that use the ALSA library interface) can run on Open Sound System. o 100% backwards compatibility for Open Sound System (OSS) v3 API. o 64bit internal processing guarantees audio fidelity and precision if the audio data needs to be converted. o New device enumeration and mixer API makes it very easy to manage devices programatically. o Uses up to date native kernel interfaces and installation methods will enable OSS to keep up with changes to the operating systems for the forseeable future. o Updated drivers for all devices supported in the older OSS v3.9x versions. Support for obsolete ISA bus devices has been finally withdrawn from Open Sound System v4.0. The virtual mixer in Open Sound v4.0 will give the user multiple virtual full duplex multichannel audio streams. It is possible to run a full duplex VOIP session, view a DVD in full 5.1 surround sound and play popular video game all at the same time without any complicated device setup and configuration. Open Sound v4.0 brings unmatched device and system management capabilities that make it ideal and easy to setup in virtualized environments.

[linux-audio-announce] Rivendell v0.9.80

by Fred Gleason

On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the release of Rivendell v0.9.80. 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: SAS Router Support. The SAS USI driver has been enhanced so that channel names are now automatically updated from the USI server whenever the Rivendell daemons are started. RDImport Improvements. A 'metadata-pattern=' switch has been added to RDImport that allows metadata to be read from fields within the filename of imported files. Do 'rdimport --help' for details. New Metadata Format. RDImport and RDLibrary will now import metadata from WAV files from Scott Studios systems. RDCatch Error Alarms. RDCatch can now be configured to generate alarms (e.g. via e-mail or GPIO) whenever an event encounters an error. See RDAdmin->ManageHosts->RDCatch. RDAirPlay Log Autoloading. RDAirPlay can now be configured to automatically load and run specified logs at startup time. It can also be set to automatically load and resume execution of whatever log was playing at the time of an unexpected system shutdown (e.g. due to power failure). See RDAdmin->ManageHosts->RDAirPlay. Various Bugfixes. See the ChangeLog for details. Database Update: This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 130, 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. *** snip snip *** Further information, screenshots and download links are available at: http://www.rivendellaudio.org/ Cheers! |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Frederick F.

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] Mammut V0.59

by Kjetil Svalastog Matheussen

*About: Mammut will FFT your sound in one single gigantic analysis (no windows). These spectral data, where the development in time is incorporated in mysterious ways, may then be transformed by different algorithms prior to resynthesis. An interesting aspect of Mammut is its completely non-intuitive sound transformation approach. *Homepage: http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/doc/mammut/ *Screenshot: http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/doc/mammut/mammut.png Changes 0.57 -> 0.59 --------------------- -Added workaround for rare sound corruption bug. -Added the "Redo it!" buttons. (The same as pressing "Undo" + "Do it!") -If playing while pressing a "Do it!" or "Redo it!" button, continue playing after processing as well. -Added the "Random Phases" toggle button in the "Multiply Phase" dialog. Checking this button will freeze the sound. Thanks to Tim Blechman for the idea. -Fixed looping which wasn't turned off if using a different sampling rate. -Added "make install" and "make uninstall" -Fixed animation bug. (should allways be shown now) -Fixed a couple of more int->uint32 time variable cases. Hopefully, the animation stuff shouldn't stall the machine anymore.

[linux-audio-announce] 64 Studio 1.2.0 'Lover's Rock' released

by Daniel James

Hello all, 64 Studio is a GNU/Linux distribution tailor-made for digital content creation, including audio, video, graphics and publishing tools. A remix of Debian testing, it comes in both AMD64/Intel64 and 32-bit flavours, to run on nearly all PC hardware. Our latest development release is based on a snapshot of Debian from the 14th February, so we decided to name it after the song 'Lover's Rock' by The Clash. The iso image can be downloaded here: http://apt.64studio.com/64studio/ Release notes are here: http://apt.64studio.com/64studio/ChangeLog-1.2.0 The 2.6.19-rt kernel package included in this release may cause a kernel oops with certain USB audio hardware. Users of 64 Studio on production systems may therefore prefer to stick with the stable 1.0 release for the time being. Cheers! Daniel James

[linux-audio-announce] Release Announcement, Musix GNU+Linux 0.99

by Marcos Guglielmetti

More info: http://www.musix.org.ar/wordpress/?p=64 Musix Project is proud to announce the release of Musix GNU+Linux 0.99, a new version of the 100% Free Software multimedia Operating System for artists and general users. This is the most stable and user friendly version until now. Since version 0.79, Musix GNU+Linux is focused on multimedia content creation and specially on music, that is: music production, audio edition, video edition, 3D animation, graphic design, image edition, web design… without forgetting the usual software for desktop’s PCs. Hundreds of software packages has been updated to the Debian/Etch’s versions. New additions include the audio/midi sequencer Muse and the sampler/sequencer/synthesizer SpiralSynthModular. The most remarkable programs in Musix 0.99 are: Ardour 0.99.3 (audio sequencer), Rosegarden 1.4.0 (audio/midi sequencer), Cinelerra (video edition), Bluefish (web design), GIMP (image manipulation), Inkscape (vectorial graphic design) and Blender3D (3D animation). System and desktop startup English and Spanish are 100% supported by Musix from the Live-CD out of the box, that means: you don’t need to install extra software packages to use the system in english or spanish. Other languages are only partially supported from the Live-CD out of the box, but we must remark the improvements in language support, specially German and Portuguese, as well as improvements in support for Finnish, Polish, Italian, Catalan and French. The file manager Rox-Filer, supports 22 languages. Since Musix 0.59, the system’s startup is 100% graphical. A “splash screen” was added in order to avoid confusing the new users with the less understandable system messages and the desktop is also started without need of any user action. A bug has been fixed: it was not possible to disable the audio hardware autodetection feature, but now the “nosound” switch works correctly (ej.: musix dma nosound). That can avoid system hangs when trying to load an incorrect driver at startup. Video Since Musix 0.99 we added the Xorg’s video autodetection method as a new “boot argument” (also called “cheatcode”): xorgmusix dma It’s in testing phase: in some computers this method works really better than the Knoppix’s one, also you can obtain 2D and 3D video hardware acceleration without installing or configuring anything. Sound Since Musix 0.59 the soundcard’s autodetection method was changed because the hotplug system was replaced by udev, following general trends of all GNU/Linux distributions. Now the autodetection it’s made by the old alsaconf script, but reformed to act automaticaly. If you want to avoid this autodetection method after installing Musix on your HD, just open a root terminal and type: rm /etc/rcS.d/S50sndconf-musix.sh So the system will boot faster. To enable it againg, type: ln -s /bin/sndconf-musix.sh /etc/rcS.d/S50sndconf-musix.sh Update without re-instalation Musix 0.99 should be able to update a previous version without reinstalling the hole system. You can start the Knoppix’s Installer in graphic or text mode, select the Package-Updater, then mark the packages to be upgraded using Synaptic and apply the changes. Abstract Musix 0.99 tries to offer the greater possible amount of 100% free software multimedia applications for creative users who need to express their works in different multimedia formats. For instance: nowadays for a music group it’s not sufficient with recording a song, perhaps the group needs to design a Web site, to film and to publish a video and to graphically design the cover of his CD or DVD. Musix it’s a complete artistic’s production factory, apt for the use in classrooms at educative establishments, in graphical design or recording studios, in video edition workstations, particular houses, state institutions or companies of any type. Upgraded software packages More than 350 software packages were upgraded from Debian/Etch, lets see just some of them: * Rosegarden4: 1.4.0-2 * Jackd: 0.101.1-2 * Gimp: 2.2.13-1 * Abiword: 2.4.5-2 * Konqueror: 3.5.5a.dfsg.1-6 * Icewm: 1.2.28-4 * Xorg: 7.1.0-12 * cinelerra: 2.1.0-2svn20070221 * KDE 3.5.5 New Software Packages * Inkscape; 0.45-1 (Description: vector-based drawing program) * SpiralSynthModular (An Object orientated modular softsynth / sequencer / sampler) * gnome-cups-manager (CUPS printer admin tool for GNOME) * acpi-support (scripts for handling many ACPI events) * RecordMydesktop y gtk-recordmy-Desktop (Captures audio-video data of a linux desktop session) * Muse (Qt-based midi/audio sequencer) * xjadeo (simple video player with jack sync) * mencoder (MPlayer’s Movie Encoder AVI/ASF/OGG/DVD/VCD/VOB/MPG/MOV/VIV/FLI/RM/NUV/NET) * Kompose (full screen task manager for KDE) * konq-plugins (plugins for Konqueror, the KDE file/web/doc browser) * 3ddesktop (”Three-dimensional” desktop switcher) * Kernel 2.6.17-2-multimedia (64studio’s kernel) * xlibmesa-dri (transitional package for Debian etch, 3D video acceleration) * Foobillard (a 3D billiards game using OpenGL) * Not installed yet into the Live-CD, it needs more testing: http://linux.ilmainen.net/musix/linux-2.6.21-rc2-SMP/linux-image-2.6.21-rc2… Full changelog https://www.musix.org.ar/wiki/index.php/Musix099_tasks Known problems into Musix 0.99 In some equipments it is possible that the printers cannot be configured correctly without installing more software packages, thus we created a script that installs those packages: get-more-print-packages If you want to install them open a root terminal and type: apt-get update get-more-print-packages * In order to compile software (for example: drivers) it’s necessary to install development packages that were removed… open a root terminal and type: restore-dev.sh * Some scripts still exist without translation. * kanotix-update doesn’t works Recommendations for the download It is recommended to use a download manager as far as possible, since it helps to manage recources better. You can use graphical ones like kget or gwget, or “wget -c” from a text console (terminal). -- Marcos Guglielmetti * Director del desarrollo de Musix GNU+Linux, 100% Software Libre * CD Donwload: (http://www.musix.org.ar/en/) * Colabora: http://www.musix.org.ar/wiki/index.php/Musix099_tasks * Videos, programas y otras cosas en: ftp://musix.ourproject.org/pub/musix/ * Reporte de errores a: https://www.musix.org.ar/wiki/index.php?title=Problemas-Bugs *IRC: #musix channel on freenode * http://autosus.wordpress.com/
