[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] GLASHCtl 0.2

by Lars Luthman

GLASHCtl is a control applet for LASH. This is the first release. Other than my code it contains eggtrayicon.h and eggtrayicon.c (by Anders Carlsson and Jean-Yves Lefort), taken from libegg, and the LASH icon (by Thorsten Wilms) from the LASH project. A patch from Florian Schmidt, adding session renaming and directory switching, has also been applied. Get it at http://dino.nongnu.org/glashctl Attaching README: GLASHCTL ======================================================================= This is a simple applet for controlling the LASH Audio Session Handler. When you run it it will appear as a small LASH icon in your "notification area" or "system tray" (if your desktop manager is compatible with freedesktop.org's "System tray" standard, http://www.freedesktop.org/Standards/systemtray-spec). This is typically somewhere in the panel in KDE or GNOME. BUILDING IT ============================================================ To build this program you will need the following libraries: * libgtkmm (2.6.4 or newer) * libvte (0.11.15 or newer) * liblash (0.5.1 or newer) You will also need to have the LASH server, lashd, somewhere in your $PATH. To build the program with the default configuration (install in /usr/local, compile with -g -O2 etc), simply type 'make' in this directory. If you want to change the configuration, use the configure script (run configure --help for details). When you type 'make' a program called glashctl should be generated, and when you type 'make install' it should be installed on your system. You need to install it before you run it, otherwise it won't find the LASH icon file and will not start. USING IT ============================================================ To use the applet, simply run the program. If you have a standards-compliant system tray on your desktop a small LASH icon (a cardboard box with a soundwave on it) should appear there. It is probably insensitive (greyed out), unless you were already running lashd or have the LASH_START_SERVER environment variable set to 1. If you right-click the icon a menu will pop up where you can choose to start lashd. When lashd has started the icon should become sensitive (show colours), and you will be able to restore audio sessions, and when there is an active session, save it, close it, rename it or change its directory. You can also quit the applet from the popup menu. You can also left-click the icon to open a message window that shows information about the events received from lashd. NOTES ============================================================ The LASH icon was created by Thorsten Wilms for the LASH project (http://lash.nongnu.org). I know that the GNOME HIG discourages using the notification area for permanent icons and icons that have actions other than just opening a window associated with them, but until there is a standard for writing normal panel applets that work in both KDE and GNOME and in other window managers I'll do it anyway.

[linux-audio-announce] fluxus 0.10

by Dave Griffiths

apologies for crossposting (fluxus) act of a flowing; a continuous moving on or passing by, as of a flowing stream; a continuous succession of changes A graphical livecoding environment for Scheme. Builds for Linux or OSX, and released under the GPL licence. Fluxus reads live audio or OSC network messages which can be used as a source of animation data for realtime performances or installations. Keyboard or mouse input can also be read for simple games development, and a physics engine is included for realtime simulations of rigid body dynamics. This release brings a repl (read evaluate print loop) for more interactive Scheme livecoding, better camera control, spotlights, procedural texturing support, more examples and a couple of daft little games thrown in for good measure. http://www.pawfal.org/fluxus/files/fluxus-0.10rc2.tar.gz http://www.pawfal.org/fluxus http://www.pawfal.org/fluxus/docs/index.html scroll on, dave http://www.pawfal.org/dave

[linux-audio-announce] Musix GNU+Linux 0.40 released!

by Marcos Guglielmetti Gmail

http://musix.org.ar/en/software-detalles2-040.html http://musix.org.ar/en/download.html Musix 0.40 released! Thanks to the support of the Ututo Proyect, FSF, Ourproject, and to the usual collaborators, the Musix project has just released Musix 0.40, whose programs were tested for over 2 months, time that allowed us to solve all kind of problems over Musix 0.39, and to make the more relevant software updates. 0.40 can be consider the more stable and functional Musix version until now, and its use is recommendable in the long term. Musix 0.49 will be an extremely updated version, hopping to support new hardware. When Musix reaches version 1.0 at the beginning of 2007, the stability of the system will be optimal, mainly because the package repository of the Debian/testing distribution will be frozen, that is to say, stable, so the users of Musix will not have problems when trying to install new software. Musix counts with its own software package repository that has been growing. It is hoped to incorporate new software nonavailable in Debian, like mplayer or cinelerra (video edition). The Musix project has offered several speeches in different institutions during 2005 and 2006, affirming the commitment with the diffusion of free software among musicians, sound engineers and users in general. == Important programs/packages updated == * Ardour 0.99.2 (some bugs fixed, last stable version) * Hydrogen Drum Machine 0.9.3 * Hwdata 0.177-1 (better hardware detection, specially video) * Freewheeling 0.5.1 (fweelin-0.5.1_0.5.1-1_i386.deb) * Rox-Filer 2.4.1-1 (file manager and desktop icons) * Zynaddsubfx 2.2.1-4 == New programs/packages installed == * Rosegarden 1.2.3 (Musix 039 and 040 are the only distros with this new version!) * Mixxx 1.4.2-1 (Digital Disc Jockey Interface) * Cecilia 2.0.5-2 * Csound 4.23f13 * guidedog 1.0.0-3 (routing) * guarddog 2.5.0-1 (firewall) * jackeq 0.4.0-2 (simple EQ for JACK) * echomixer - control tool for Echoaudio soundcards * envy24control - control tool for Envy24 (ice1712) based soundcards * hdspconf - GUI program to control the Hammerfall HDSP Alsa Settings * hdspmixer - advanced routing features control of the RME Hammerfall DSP * rmedigicontrol - control tool for RME Digi32 and RME Digi96 soundcards == Removed Packages == * libncurses5-dev and its dependencies * libx11-dev and its dependencies * kernel 2.6.15.2 == Others changes == * Spanish Documentation about Ardour * kernel 2.6.15.2 was replaced by 2.6.11 of Musix 0.31 to achive more compatibility with SATA disks * The others kernels of Musix 0.40: 2.6.15.4, 2.6.13, 2.6.15.3-rt still remain * Several scripts were created and improved to make more easy the use of the system * A new script that can change the themes for the rox-filer desktop * Isolinux screenboot was modified (logo.16) * Wallpapers from Jorge Salgueiro were added * Some new presets for Jamin were added from Gilberto Borges (~/.jamin) == Solved problems == Generally speaking, this problems has been solved: * KDM (desktop manager) takes too long to launch, solved * After updated GTK, some desktop icons disappear, solved * After the installation, the system reboots Ok == Known problems in Musix 0.40 == * The new Rosegarden 1.2.3 (Musix is the only distro with this version) crashes when trying to record audio. We will soon inform how to solve it * It is probable that the installation in some SATA hard disks may not possible (test) * It is probable that the no-root users does not inherit the configuration of the Musix's desktop. This is solved with 2 commands in text console (terminal), just type: mkdir ~/.config cp -Rp /root/.config/* ~/.config == Next version, Musix 0.49 == * Musix 0,49 will have the new version of ALSA, 1.0.11 , which solves hundreds of bugs and incorporates new functionalities and support for sound plates * Hundreds of software packages will be updated ( 459 until now) * Kernel 2.6.16-beyond4.1 could be the default one for this version. This kernel already can be installed along with the new ALSA drivers from the Musix repository (apt-get update && apt-get -y install alsa-modules-2.6.16-beyond4.1 linux-image-2.6.16-beyond4.1) * It is hoped to be released in a few days -- Marcos Guglielmetti * Director del desarrollo de Musix GNU+Linux, 100% Software Libre * Descarga el CD de Musix: (www.musix.org.ar) (www.pc-musica.com.ar/musix) * Videos, programas y otras cosas en: ftp://musix.ourproject.org/pub/musix/

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] realtime-lsm 0.8.6 available via SourceForge

by Jack O'Quin

Download links (once SF finishes updating mirrors)... http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/realtime-lsm/rt-lsm-0.8.6-kernel.patch.g… http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/realtime-lsm/realtime-lsm-0.8.6.tar.gz?d… The Realtime Linux Security Module (LSM) is a loadable extension for Linux 2.6 kernels. It selectively grants realtime permissions to specific user groups or applications. This release provides the kernel patch formerly included in Andrew Morton's kernel development tree. This module is no longer available there, so I am releasing it for download via SourceForge. The kernel developers prefer their own rlimits solution for granting realtime privileges. Since that is their responsibility, I defer to their feelings. Since their solution requires PAM updates which have been very slow to appear in end-user distributions, I continue to provide this (simpler) solution via SourceForge for those who need it. There are no new features. You need not update, if an older version still works for you. This patch is not actively being developed, but I will continue to provide support as needed for the many users of distributions still lacking the required PAM updates for the rlimits solution preferred by the kernel developers. This release only supports kernel version 2.6.6 and newer. For older kernels, realtime-lsm-0.1.1 is still available. This LSM was written by Torben Hohn and Jack O'Quin, who make no warranty concerning the safety, security or even stability of your system when using it. But, if you do have problems, please report them on the linux-audio-user(a)music.columbia.edu mailing list -- joq

by Chris Cannam

Announcing Sonic Visualiser, an application for viewing and analysing the contents of music audio files. http://www.sonicvisualiser.org/ Sonic Visualiser contains advanced waveform and spectrogram viewers, as well as editors for many sorts of audio annotations. Besides visualisation, it can make and play selections based on the locations of automatically detected features, seamlessly loop playback of single or multiple noncontiguous regions, synthesise annotations for playback, and slow down playback while retaining display synchronisation. Sonic Visualiser also introduces the Vamp plugin API, for plugins that extract descriptive or analytical data from audio. Vamp plugins for onset, pitch and note detection using the Aubio library are available, as well as plugins for tempo tracking, chromagram analysis, constant-Q spectrogram, spectral centroid, power curve and tonal change detection. There is also a comprehensive SDK for use by developers of Vamp plugins and hosts. Sonic Visualiser is Free Software distributed under the GNU General Public License. The 0.9 release is available now in source code form or as binaries for Linux, OS/X, and Windows. For more information and downloads, please see http://www.sonicvisualiser.org/ For more information about Vamp plugins, please see http://www.sonicvisualiser.org/vamp.html See also the SourceForge page for this project at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/sv1/ Sonic Visualiser was developed at the Centre for Digital Music, Queen Mary, University of London and partially funded by the European Commission through the SIMAC project IST-FP6-507142.
