Hi all,
Just a quick announcement that openlab (the London, UK based group of free
software wielding artists) are appearing on Resonance FM, an arts radio
station broadcasting to central London, and on the web.
We're going to be introducing the concept of free software and giving some
personal accounts on how and why we use it, along with a handful of short
live sessions and prerecorded music.
The show is at 19:00BST on friday.

cheers,

Salem Radio Labs is pleased to announce the release of v0.9.48 of Rivendell,
available at:
http://www.salemradiolabs.com/rivendell/
Rivendell is a full-featured, copylefted broadcast automation system targeted
for use in professional radio broadcast environments. It includes tools for
acquisition, management and playout of audio content.
>From Rivendell's 'NEWS' file:
*** snip snip ***
Changes:
Upload Events in RDCatch. It's now possible to schedule the
automatic export and upload of audio files in RDCatch. The
following upload protocols are supported:
FILE
FTP
SMB
Database Support Cleanups. Added directives to rd.conf(5) to make
it possible for Rivendell to work with RDBMS back-ends other than
mySQL. This feature has not been at all well tested as of yet.
Import Filter for AirForce 'Wings' System. The filter can be used
to import the entire audio archive of an AirForce 'Wings' system
*in situ*, without requiring reencoding of audio and while
preserving much of the library meta-data from the original system.
See the 'WINGS_FILTER.txt' file in the documentation directory for
more information.
New Switcher Device Support. Added support for the BroadcastTools
SS16.4 switcher.
MPEG Cleanups. Many bugfixes regarding the use and handling of
MPEG audio.
RDLogEdit Fixes. Fixed all known outstanding issues with
RDLogEdit.
Miscellaneous Bugfixes. See the ChangeLog for details.
Library Versions:
This version requires that, at a minimum, libradio-0.93.2 and
librhpi-94.1 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.

The first (alpha) release of JAPA is now available at
<http://users.skynet.be/solaris/linuxaudio>
>From the README:
JAPA is a 'perceptual' or 'psychoacoustic' audio spectrum
analyser. This means that the filters that are used to
analyse the spectrum have bandwidths that are neither
constant (as in JAAA), nor proportional to the center
frequency (as in a 1/3 octave band analyser), but tuned
to human perception. With the default settings, JAPA uses
a filter set that closely follows the Bark scale.
In contrast to JAAA, this is more an acoustical or musical
tool than a purely technical one. Possible uses include
spectrum monitoring while mixing or mastering, evaluation
of ambient noise, and (using pink noise), equalisation
of PA systems.
JAPA allows you to measure two inputs at the same time,
compare them, store them to memory and compare them to
stored traces. It offers a number of resolutions, speeds,
and various display options. The dual inputs and memories
will find their way into future JAAA versions as well.
This is a source release. You will also need libclalsadrv,
libclthreads (from the same place), and libfftw3f.
Enjoy !

disconnect-all and a dialog allowing the user to configure
ALSA sequencer connections from inside the program.
* New column showing the source ALSA client and port for
each event.
* New configurable option to show the ALSA client name
or number, applied to the new source column and elsewhere.
Other major features are
* Easy to use KDE graphic user interface
* Based on ALSA sequencer.
* Customizable event filters and sequencer parameters

Jack has finally reached version 0.100.0. In brief, more functions
for getting latency statistics, better thread handling, and a more
verbose way of connecting to the jackd server.
This new function is jack_client_open(). From the documentation:
Open an external client session with a JACK server. This interface
is more complex but more powerful than jack_client_new(). With it,
clients may choose which of several servers to connect, and control
whether and how to start the server automatically, if it was not
already running. There is also an option for JACK to generate a
unique client name, when necessary.
Jack-0.100.0 is available from http://jackit.sf.net, although a new
website is in the works.
***CHANGES***
Rewritten coreaudio driver
Switched to ALSA-1.0 API
Added functions jack_client_create_thread(),
jack_get_max_delayed_usecs(), jack_reset_max_delayed_usecs(),
jack_internal_client_handle(), jack_internal_client_load(),
jack_get_internal_client_name(), jack_internal_client_unload(),
jack_get_xrun_delayed_usecs(), jack_client_open(), and
jack_get_client_name(). See documentation for details.
Removed functions jack_set_server_dir(), jack_create_thread()
Added header file <jack/statistics.h>
ALSA, OSS, and CoreAudio drivers now have -I/-O options for setting
systemic latency.
Added client request type RecomputeTotalLatencies
Compiles and runs on MacOSX 10.4
Change the way threads get RT scheduling. it is now requested by the
thread rather than assigned by the thread's parent. in cases where
capabilities are used, the child is also given capabilities so that
it can release + re-acquire RT scheduling as needed.
Prevent watchdog from killing anything is JACK is freewheeling.
And of course tons of bug fixes.
Sincerely,
Taybin Rutkin

INTRODUCTION
------------
E-radium is Radium and a special version of E-UAE.
Radium is a midi music editor for the amiga and E-Uae is an amiga
emulator.
CHANGES
-------
0.61c -> 0.6d:
-Increased amount of Z3-memory from 32 to 64. Also increased the amount of
chip-mem from 2 to 8 to let there be more time to quit/save after getting
a warning about too little memory. For now, this seems to work...
-Lowered the keyboard repeat rate a bit.
-Fixed make install
-Use standard mouse pointer.
-Upgraded Radium from 0.61c to 0.61d:
-Added scroll-mouse support. Scrolling up is exactly the same as pressing
arrow up, and scrolling down is exactly the same as pressing arrow down.
