[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] Alsaplayer 0.99.77

by Dominique Michel

As new administrator for the Alsaplayer project, I am very pleased to announce the latest and long wanted release of Alsaplayer. ********************************************* AlsaPlayer is a new type of PCM player. It is heavily multi-threaded and tries to excercise the ALSA library and driver quite a bit. It has some very interesting features unique to Linux/Unix players. The goal is to create a fully pluggable framework for playback of all sorts of media with the focus on PCM audio data. http://www.alsaplayer.org/ ********************************************* This is a bugfix release. It include all the fixes and security committed by Hubert Chan from Debian. Both the patch committed at alsaplayer-devel list and for Debian are included. They include patches from him and other peoples, and even a new man page from Debian. Another good news is at the cvs will compile again, inclusive the fftscope plugin. Cheers, -- Dominique Michel -- N.B.: Tous les emails que je reçois sont filtrés par spamassassin avant de me parvenir.

[linux-audio-announce] ANNOUNCE: Rosegarden 1.5.0 released

by Chris Cannam

ROSEGARDEN 1.5.0 RELEASED The Rosegarden team are happy to announce the release of version 1.5.0 of Rosegarden, an audio and MIDI sequencer and musical notation editor for Linux. http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/ This release contains a number of new features, notably audio time-stretching support, and many usability improvements particularly in the matrix view. This is also an interesting release from a developer perspective, because the source code has been completely reorganised into a new directory structure with a far more consistent file naming and organisation scheme. Thanks to all involved with the project for their hard work on this tedious business. Finally, we have also changed the build system again, from scons to cmake. Please read the README and INSTALL files before building. Hopefully this should be the last change of this nature for the foreseeable future. Changes: * Add timestretching for audio segments (ctrl-drag the edge of the segment) * Add import and sample-rate conversion helper for arbitrary audio file types * Add helpful context help to status bar in track and matrix editors * Various improvements to the usability and friendliness of the matrix editor: do a better job of remembering settings, make the snap-to-grid behaviour more intuitive and pleasing, make better use of cursor changes, add quick-copy by dragging with Ctrl pressed, fix several bugs * Add tempo tapping to tempo dialog (thanks to FNPave) * Further fixes and enhancements to Lilypond export (thanks to Heikki) * New Invert, Retrograde, Retrograde Invert editing functions (thanks to Heikki) * Make transport window remember its previous location * More helpful warning dialogs on startup if something fails to start properly * Change build system from scons to cmake (thanks to Pedro) * Reorganise code into a new directory structure with a far more consistent file naming and organisation scheme (thanks to everyone) For more information about Rosegarden and what it can do for you, please see http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/ Rosegarden is Free Software under the GNU General Public License.

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] Aqualung 0.9beta7 released

by Tom Szilagyi

The authors are proud to announce the release of Aqualung 0.9beta7. Aqualung is an advanced music player originally targeted at GNU/Linux, today also running on other operating systems such as FreeBSD and MS Windows. We are striving to create one of the finest music players available, with respect to sound quality, stability, features and ease of use. This release is the latest in a series of beta releases on our way to the future stable release of Aqualung 1.0. It adds significant new functionality as well as important bugfixes. The ChangeLog for this release is listed below. Homepage: http://aqualung.sf.net Enjoy, Tom 2007-02-05 Tom Szilagyi <tszilagyi at users dot sourceforge dot net> * Aqualung 0.9beta7 http://aqualung.sf.net This release introduces important new features and bugfixes. Main reasons for upgrading: * CD Audio support, complete with CDDB, CD-Text, etc. You can play Audio CDs directly, or rip them to WAV, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis or MP3 (CBR/VBR, gapless via LAME) complete with tagging, on the fly. * Revamped Music Store Builder: better operation, greater flexibility. * Support FFmpeg library enabling the recognition of numerous formats e.g. AC3, AAC, WMA, WavPack, and the soundtrack of many video files. * Replaygain support for APEv2 tags. * Ability to set looping range when looping a single file. Should be useful for people playing along a recording, trying to learn phrases of a song. * Adding music to the playlist is now a non-blocking, interruptible background operation. * Drag-and-drop files from external sources (Nautilus, Konqueror, etc) into the Aqualung playlist. * Several critical memory leak fixes. * Numerous GUI refinements; fixed some rare bugs in engine, too. * Support for building against the new FLAC 1.1.3 API. * Aqualung operates correctly on bigendian systems (32 and 64 bit). * Running natively on MS Windows. A port of TAP-plugins is included in the installer. See http://aqualung.sf.net/win32 for more. NEW LIBRARY DEPENDENCIES: All of these are optional; Aqualung will build without them, disabling the functionality they provide. * libcdio >= 0.76 is required for CD audio support. http://www.gnu.org/software/libcdio/ * libvorbisenc for ripping into Ogg Vorbis. http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/ * libmp3lame for ripping into MP3. http://lame.sourceforge.net/

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] JackMix 0.2 fresh on the shelfs

by Arnold Krille

taken from http://www.arnoldarts.de/drupal/?q=node/532 : "One step back, two ahead!" After almost two years of silence I managed to put together a new release of JackMix. The name explained: Comparing to jackmix:0.1.0 some experimental features are dropped. On the other hand this release is the first to use scons for the buildsystem and qt4 for the toolkit. Download and installation Download the source here: http://www.arnoldarts.de/drupal/files/downloads/jackmix/jackmix-0.2.tar.gz After unpacking (tar xzf jackmix-0.2.tar.gz && cd jackmix-0.2) call QTDIR=<path to your qt4-dir> scons configure to configure and afterwards call scons to compile the app. Calling scons install will install the binary in the chosen bin-directory but you will probably test JackMix before doing that... If your qt4 is installed in /usr/include/qt4 and /usr/lib/qt4 (as it is on gentoo) you need to add qtlibs=/usr/lib/qt4 to the configuration-command above. I will probably change/extend the qt-check in the future but for now this has to be used. Usage Be sure to have a jackd running, preferable via qjackctl which also has a nice window to connect inputs and outputs like the back of your rack. Next start jackmix. If all is well it will present you with a top-row of controls, a big matrix in the middle and some controls on the right. The top controls are the input gain, the right controls are output gain. The matrix in the middle controls the levels sent from the various inputs to the outputs. If you are tired of the simple potis for each channel and want easier mixing into stereo busses there is help available. Just select the potis you want replaced by using "Select" from the context menu of each control and then use "Replace" in the top-left control you want replaced. If all is working JackMix will choose the biggest possible replacing control (current available controls are mono-to-mono, mono-to-stereo and stereo-to-stereo). You can fill the empty places from the "Edit"-menu. Adding and removing of input- and output-channels is also done from the "Edit"-menu. Please note that if no jackd is running, JackMix will start but not show any controls. You can tell JackMix to create new channels, but nothing will happen. Restart JackMix after starting jackd and go on with your work. Changelog Changes since 0.1: -Using scons instead of autotools/make. -Using qt4 instead of qt3. -Dropped the potis borrowed from the kde-project. They where hard to port to qt4 and the ones from qjackctl are much nicer and where easier to port. - The ability to connect faders is dropped. For future releases this will be replaced by VCA-groups similar to bigger mixing-consoles. Have a nice week, Arnold -- visit http://www.arnoldarts.de/ --- Wenn man mit Raubkopien Bands wie Brosis oder Britney Spears wirklich verhindern könnte, würde ich mir noch heute einen Stapel Brenner und einen Sack Rohlinge kaufen.

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] Das_watchdog V0.3.1

by Kjetil S. Matheussen

Download from http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/ Das_watchdog ============ Whenever a program locks up the machine, das_watchdog will temporarily sets all realtime process to non-realtime for 8 seconds. You will get an xmessage window up on the screen whenever that happens. Das_watchdog is made to be run as a system daemon and does not interfere with normal operations (unless the lock-ups are supposed to happen). Das_Watchdog is inspired by the rt_watchdog program made by Florian Schmidt (http://tapas.affenbande.org/?page_id=38). Changes 0.2.5->0.3.1 -------------------- *Changed scheme for finding correct XAUTHORITY environment variable. (Now works with Fedora Core 6) Hopefully, theses changes should increase the chance of seeing the xmessage and avoid seeing multiple ones. (Theres no correct way to do this, so please send me the output of "uname -a" in case you don't see any window) *Added syslogging. *Added the --version argument.
