[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] Ecasound 2.3.4 released

by Kai Vehmanen

Hello everybody, it's again time for a new Ecasound release. Full details follow: --- 1. Summary of changes Serious bugs in multitrack sync code, ECI C implementation and big-endian platform support have been fixed. Support has been added for input and output of FLAC, AAC and M4A files. Improvements have been made to both FreeBSD and Mac OS X support. Many minor improvements to ECI implementations and user documentation. --- 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 * FLAC support added. The 'flac' tools is used for both encoding and decoding. * AAC/M4A/MP4 support added. The 'faad' and 'faac' tools are used for encoding and decoding. * Improved support for both FreeBSD and Mac OS X. Ecasound should now compile out-of-the-box on recent releases of these systems. * A critical bug was fixed in multitrack-offset calculation code. This bug was triggered by ALSA devices that limit playback period count to two (for example rme9652 and cs4281). * Minor fixes to both mp3 and ogg input support. * Many improvements to the C ECI implementation: Bug which caused losses of sync between clients and the engine was fixed. Float return values are now returned with higher precision. These improvements affect all ECI implementations that are based on libecasoundc (Perl, Python, PHP interfaces). Full list of changes is available at <http://www.wakkanet.fi/~kaiv/ecasound/history.html>. --- 4. Interface and configuration file changes None. --- 5. Contributors Patches - Accepted code, documentation and build system changes Jesse Chappell (5) -- Bugfix to sync-loss problem in C ECI impl, improvements to libsndfile support and other bugfixes.

Snd-ls ------- Snd-ls is a distribution of the sound editor Snd. Its target is people that don't know scheme very well, and don't want to spend too much time configuring Snd. It can also serve as a quick introduction to Snd and how it can be set up. SONO - MAKES A PRESENTABLE SCORE FROM YOUR ELECTROACOUSTIC PIECE ---------------------------------------------------------------- This little program takes a soundfile of any length and writes a Postscript file with a 'score', including sonogram and oscillogram. This can be printed directly on your laser. Sono was written for SGI computers. --

[linux-audio-announce] [ANNOUNCE] SRC support for XMMS OSS output plugin

by Jussi Laako

Hi, I have made a patch which adds support for samplerate conversion to XMMS's OSS output plugin. Samplerate conversion is done using Erik de Castro Lopo's libsamplerate aka Secret Rabbit Code. Why? Because there are soundcards which support only single samplerate in hardware (usually 48 kHz). To get best possible sound quality out of these, you'll need high quality samplerate conversion when playing 44.1 kHz files/streams. All comments on this are welcome. Patch is available from: http://www.sonarnerd.net/linux/xmms-rabbit.patch -- Jussi Laako <jussi.laako(a)pp.inet.fi>

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] QjackCtl 0.2.12 released!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hi everyone, While lurking on CVS, here comes another step to this jack-audio-connection-kit Qt/GUI frontend: QjackCtl has been released: 0.2.12 is now public! Taken from the changelog: - Fixed some old and slow memory-leak due to redundand and repetitive call to jack_port_by_name() (discovered and solved, thanks to Jesse Chappell); some other free() and configure fixes were also applied. - Shiny display effect toggling has immediate feedback on setup dialog. - Added new usx2y driver support (EXPERIMENTAL). - New scaled connections/patchbay icons were added; meanwhile, all inline XPM icons were removed and brainlessly converted to PNG format. - New setup options as for the connections/patchbay view apprearence: larger icon sizes and font selection are now possible, to better ease manipulation on a touchscreen (feature requested for Lionstracs' Mediastation). - Connection line width follows icon size in discrete proportion. - "Other" setup options moved to a new dialog tab, "Misc"; new extreme item values, 32 and 16 frames, added to the drop-down list of the Frames/Buffer setting (as suggested by Mark Knetch). As usual, grab it from: http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net Cheers, and enjoy, -- rncbc aka Rui Nuno Capela rncbc(a)rncbc.org

[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] QSynth 0.2.2 released!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hi everyone, After a great long time, and lurking on CVS, here comes another step to this fluidsynth's Qt/GUI frontend: Qsynth has been released: 0.2.2 is now public! Taken from the changelog: - Minor configure fixes. - Meanwhile, XPM icon(s) were brainlessly converted to PNG format. - Engine panel settings are now properly saved on stop/restart. - Icons were added to the engine tab selector context menu. - Master gain front panel control gets rescaled and now ranges from 0..200, with midpoint at 100 (unit gain). - Added Mac OS X build instructions (README-OSX, by Ebrahim Mayat). - Soundfont bank offset option gets its trial time (EXPERIMENTAL); please note that fluidsynth 1.0.5 is needed to build on this feature, which is being properly detected and only enabled at configure time. - Output level peak meters are now featured as an option (EXPERIMENTAL), which must be explicitly enabled on setup for those to show up; in addition, overall GUI refresh cycle period has been reduced from 200 to 100 msec. - Top level sub-windows are now always raised and set with active focus when shown to visibility. As usual, grab it from: http://qsynth.sourceforge.net Cheers, and enjoy, -- rncbc aka Rui Nuno Capela rncbc(a)rncbc.org
