Feel free to forward around] Torino, 07/01/2007 Due to unfortunate circumstances that we are still investigating, the domain name "agnula.org" has been "hijacked" by an organisation with no connection whatsoever to the former members of the AGNULA project consortium or or to the current persons that have been and are contributing to the AGNULA project. The domain name "agnula.org", and all subdomains thereof, now point to a web page which does not contain any reference to the AGNULA project. As a temporary measure, the "agnula.info" domain name has been registered and all the services have been configured to use such domain. We therefore urge all users to replace all instances of "agnula.org" with "agnula.info" until further notice. For example: - the website is now http://www.agnula.info/ - the mailing lists are not on http://lists.agnula.info/ and mail should be sent to users(a)lists.agnula.info, developers(a)lists.agnula.info, etc. We are still in the process of fixing all the necessary references.

[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.

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] rtsynth 1.9.5 alsa+jack (x86 binaries only)

by Stefan Nitschke

I am happy that i can announce a new version of RTSynth for both ALSA and jack available at www.linux-sound.org/rtsynth Please note: This is (as usual) a binary distribution for x86 systems only. Recent changes: - Fixed a bug with real time scheduling on newer Linux kernels (2.6.x). - Jack version: Added support for dynamically loadable jack driver module. Full source code of the module is provided. - Added new command line option "-p" or "--polyvoice". If this option is given RTSynth will use 3 oscillator/filter units per midi note. This results in somewhat smoother but not necessarily better sounds. merry Xmas, Stefan _________________________________________________________________ Don't just search. Find.

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] das_watchdog V0.2.5 and jack_capture V0.9.3

by Kjetil Svalastog Matheussen

Download from http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/ das_watchdog 0.2.5 ================== 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. Changes 0.2.4->0.2.5 -------------------- *Let the test thread run with SCHED_FIFO priority using the lowest priority. Should hopefully stop all the unnecessary reports. (This change has been tested quite thoroughly) jack_capture v0.9.3 =================== jack_capture is a program for recording soundfiles with jack. Its default operation is to capture whatever sound is going out to your speakers into a file. This is the program I always wanted to have for jack, but no one made. So here it is. Note: Anyone using 0.9.2 should upgrade to 0.9.3! 0.9.2 will most likely hang during startup. :-( (I'm going to start testing my software before releasing from now on, this one was very embarrasing.) Distros: If there is a system for doing so, you should mark 0.9.2 as unusable. Changes 0.3.9 -> 0.9.3 ----------------------- *Fixed horrible deadlock in 0.9.2. Bug found by Ken Restivo. *Fix for a potensional deadlock. *Added the --silent/-s argument. *Some smaller fixes. *If recording to wav (the default) and the the 4GB limitation is reached, automatically close the file and continue writing to a new file with an autogenerated name. *Added the --version/-v argument. *Changed default number of zeros in the autogenerated filename to 1. *Better error output. *Autogenerate code to check if various formats are supported by sndlibfile. *Bumped version up to 0.9. jack_capture should reach a 1.0 state quite soon. *Changed the name of --recording-time to --duration to match -d.

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] Ecasound 2.4.5 released

by Kai Vehmanen

Hello all, Ecasound 2.4.5 has been released! Releases notes follow: 1. Summary of changes --------------------- Native support for FLAC files has been added using the sndfile library. New debugging tools for ecasound scripting and ECI applicatin development have been added. Bugs related to ecasound process return values, memory corruption in ECI apps, handling of 24/32bit big-endian audio files, robustness of mp3/ogg/flac/aac support, managing loop devices, parsing user input, and build errors on cygwin, have been fixed. A set of new processing ops for channel routing and mixing has been added. 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 since last release ----------------------------- * Full read/write support for flac files with support for seeking. Requires libsndfile 1.0.12 or newer. * Some bugs in setting the ecasound return value have been fixed. Ecasound now properly signals errors like insufficient write permissions, or running out of storage space during processing, via non-zero return values. The possible return values are now also documented in ecasound(1). * A new debugging mechanism controlled by ECASOUND_LOGFILE and ECASOUND_LOGLEVEL environment variables. This is meant especially for debugging ECI applications, and scripted uses of ecasound. You can test this for instance by issuing: sh> ECASOUND_LOGLEVEL=ecalog.txt ecaplay *.wav And look at 'ecalog.txt' afterwards. This mechanism for ECI debugging really should have been there from the start. See ecasound(1) for more details. * A set of new audio operators have been added for channel routing/mixing: -chcopy (alias for -erc), -chmove, -chmute and -chmix (alias for -erm). See the full documentation in ecasound(1). * The in-tree sources for readline-4.0 have been removed from the package. Originally, some time around 1999, readline was included to the package due to numerous problems with Linux distros of the time that came with old versions of readline. This however no longer is the case. Nowadays, pretty much all non-ancient systems have at least readline-4.0, and most have already readline-5.0. Ancient machines are however still supported. To this end, ecasound now provides an option to compile with readline disabled. * Various bugfixes including: severe memory handling error in ECI C implementation, bugs in processing 24/32bit big-endian audio files, problems with interactive mode commands operating on controllers, handling loop devices when saving chainsetup state, batch processing of setups with mp3/ogg/flac/aac outputs, build errors on cygwin, ... * Sourceforge.net bug items affected: #1415814, #1531042, #1456510 Full list of changes is available at: - http://www.eca.cx/ecasound/history.php 4. Interface and configuration file changes ------------------------------------------- None in this release. 5. Contributors to this release ------------------------------- Patches - Accepted code, documentation and build system changes * Stuart Allie (2) Segfaults in processing 'ctrlp-*' commands. Problem in saving chainsetups with loop devices. * Pedro Antonio Fructuoso Merino (2) Patch to fix segfault when parsing escaped user input. Patch to fix audible glitches from loop devices when seeking. * Aaron Heller (1) Patch to fix bugs in big-endian support. * Chris Head (1) Patch to ecasignalview build errors on cygwin. Bug Hunting - Reports that led to bugfixes (items closed) * Zrajm Akfohg (1) Bug in ecasound process return values. * Florian Ladstaedter (1) Invalid headers in created flac files. * Pedro Antonio Fructuoso Merino (1) Seg.fault when removing loop devices. * Koen (kbr at patat dot .org) (1) Segfault when parsing escaped user input. * Kurt Konolige (1) Bug with 'rw 0'. * Brad Bowman, Stuart Allie, Joel Roth (1) Severe memory handling bug in libecasoundc (ECI C API) 6.
