Hi everyone,
Just sent off the first draft of the "Implementation Guide"
for MWPP, in time for the deadline for the next IETF meeting. You
can download it as:
http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~lazzaro/sa/pubs/txt/current-guide.txt
See below for the abstract. A few sections in the main body,
as well as the Appendices, remain to be written, but I decided to send
it off because the completed parts are in pretty good shape, and early
feedback on the direction the document is taking (as the non-normative
companion to the main MWPP document) would be helpful.
The current plan is to make some minor changes to the
normative MWPP document, in response to comments received since its
September 22 submission, and resubmit it in time for the meeting
deadline for updated documents. So if you're holding onto any
comments on this document, now is a good time to send them along --
this document can be downloaded as:

INTERNET-DRAFT John Lazzaro
October 27, 2002 John Wawrzynek
Expires: April 27, 2003 UC Berkeley
An Implementation Guide to the MIDI Wire Protocol Packetization (MWPP)
<draft-lazzaro-avt-mwpp-coding-guidelines-00.txt>
Abstract
This memo offers non-normative implementation guidance for the MIDI
Wire Protocol Packetization (MWPP), an RTP packetization for the
MIDI command language. The memo provides a detailed description of
a sample MWPP application: an interactive MIDI session between two
parties that send and receive RTP and RTCP flows over unicast UDP
transport. The Appendices focus on special issues that arise in
other types of applications: content-streaming applications, multi-
party applications, applications that use reliable transport such
as TCP, applications that do not use RTCP, and applications that
send several MWPP RTP streams in a single session.

But IMO more boring to look at from a newbie POV. I will give that gif a
make over this week. I'm getting tired of seeing it these days but the
info is still vital.

The aim of the images at the top is to provide one click access to the
most popular sites for information about Linux audio. I really don't
want to move them. They could do with being slightly smaller perhaps.

I don't follow this. What information is four pages down? Do you mean
the introduction for new users or are you talking about the links to the
various howtos?

I've been considering that for a while now. I'm trying to figure out a
nice design. Currently I have an image of a large asterix * with the
links in each slice.

That's true. It is becoming more of a community property these days.
Does anyone else have any suggestions. Keeping in mind that the site is
primarily for new users most of whom expect a graphically dense site at
least until they get into the Linux way.

Hi all.
The amSynth rc1 tarball is available now.
Get it while its fresh at http://amsynthe.sourceforge.net
and be sure to read the README
This release provides some significant improvements:
* nearly 100% performance increase
* smaller and more streamlined gui. much better for those of you who
run at lower res!
* can now select presets file at startup
* libsndfile 1.x support
* gcc3 compile fixes
* others i cant remember right now!
Enjoy
Nick

Hello.
Does anybody of you know where I can find an updated version of the lowlatency patch for 2.4.20-pre ?
I already tried to make it apply but due to massive reiserfs changes I backed it out for now...

It's about due for a redo anyway. The info is still pretty vital. Notice
that there have been almost no questions about how fast Linux latency is
since it was put up.
That's true the link is out of date. But it's the only page I know of
which has so much information on the low latency patch. I can't force
Benno to do the work that he has stated would be done.

I cannot do much about the images provided by other sites.

What is your browser? I have been trying to keep it working with
netscape 4.x, mozilla, IE, lynx.
>Lots of the information on the frontpage should probably be on >subpages.
The aim is to provide access to most of the info with one click and
without having to scroll.

Hi all,
I just read this in the latest kernel traffic:
"George Anzinger announced:
This, patch implements the POSIX clocks and timers functions. The two
standard clocks are defined(CLOCK_REALTIME & CLOCK_MONOTONIC)."
I've got a feeling 2.6 is going to be very good for l-a-d :)

Fixed :)

Is anyone working on this: http://www.ircam.fr/equipes/repmus/OpenMusic?
Apparently they GPL'd the sources, and you can download it, but it's
written in Lisp, and MCL PPC Lisp at that. However, as they put it:
"At the beginning, this will make sense only to people owning the
Digitool compiler. Although we are conscious that this limitation does
not fit clearly into the GPL framework, we think that making the sources
available is an oppurtunity to raise collaborations leading to new
versions of OM that would depend only on open sources compiler,
particularly on linux platforms"
I did speak with some Ircam people at Darmstadt this past summer, and I
don't think they really have the interest in doing the port themselves.
However, Ircam certainly isn't anti-Linux, so they might be
able/willing to help/be persuaded to work on it. (François, and
Norbert, if you're on this list, feel free to comment.)
-dgm
I'm trying to get a picture in my mind as to what is out there. Could
someone please give me a list of Wave editors that are seen as
potentially really good under Linux?
Cheers,
-Lea.
