MadJACK is a MPEG Audio Deck for the Jack Audio Connection Kit with
an OSC based control interface. It was written as a backend for DJ
music playback and is released under the GPL licence.
http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~njh/madjack/
It aims to achieve the following:
- Lightweight
- Talk natively to JACK
- Easy to script / remote control
- High Quality audio
- Skip free playback
- Responsive / Low Latency
- Reliable / Not Crash
It does not do the following:
- Decode metadata/ID3 tags
- Queue up multiple tracks
- Have playlists
Hope somebody else finds it as useful as I do!

A PATH problem in the init script that was causing RDCatch Upload
and Download events to fail.
Problems with RDAirPlay starting a Hard Timed event reliably under
certain situations.
See the ChangeLog for a full list.

This version requires that, at a minimum, libradio-0.94.0 and
librhpi-0.94.4 be installed. If installing from RPM, the version of
the currently installed libraries can be determined by doing:
rpm -q libradio
rpm -q librhpi
Database Update:
As always, be sure to run RDAdmin immediately after
upgrading to allow any necessary changes to the database schema to
be applied.

ideas, and also to discuss audio/video-related issues with the
developers of the kernel, networking and desktop systems. For all
users, this will be a great way to see and hear the variety of tools
available. Suggested topic areas include:
* Linux for Digital Audio Workstations and musical instruments
* Video for Linux
* low latency and reliable audio in the Linux kernel and userspace
* Networked & distributed audio-visual applications on Linux
* systems for connecting music, processing and control hardware
* core Linux audio subsystems: Jack, ALSA, LADSPA, etc.
* Linux media frameworks: gstreamer, vlc, xine, etc.
* software synthesis and sequencing applications
* recording, editing and mastering applications
* audio & video file formats and codecs
* streaming and network services for audio and video
* telephony and speech technologies
* multicast video conferencing on Linux
* usability of music and audio applications
* audio & video on Linux devices, e.g. mobile phones, set-top box, IPTV
* audio/video podcasting on Linux
* video editing on Linux
* Linux Radio applications

* Linux games
Presentations must relate to Free and open source software and/or open
standards.
Hi,
Just to let you know about this small-fix release on QjackCtl, that only
affects the MIDI connections (re)nomenclature:
- ALSA sequencer client/port name aliases are functional again; all
actual MIDI sequencer client/port numerical identifier prefixes are also
back in business.
Apparentely, this has been missed for quite a while, almost since
0.2.16. Only noticed this late week, thanks to Domenico Culturato.
You can pick it out from the usual place:
http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net
Enjoy,

Changes:
RDLibrary Useability Tweaks. When new carts are created in
RDLibrary, they are now considered to officially exist upon clicking
the 'OK' button in the Add Cart dialog, in contradistinction to the
old policy where they didn't 'stick' until 'OK' was clicked in the
Edit Cart dialog. The old way tended to be confusing for many
opertors, as clicking 'Cancel' in the Edit Cart dialog would result
in any recorded audio being deleted. Also then creating a new
cart, RDLibrary will now create a single empty cut within the cart
by default.
Various Bugfixes. See the ChangeLog for details.
