hi everyone !
i'm just sitting in train up the beautiful rhine valley on my trip back
from this year's linuxtag, where we had a joint booth for the alsa
project and the linux audio developers.
it has been great fun, and i think we made some impact :)
the linuxtag page at http://www.linuxdj.com/audio/lad/eventslt2003.php3
has some more information, and will be updated with more photos and
recordings as i get them. if any of the booth participants has something
to add, i'll be glad to include it.
thanks to frank neumann who organized our booth for the third time, and
kudos to the linuxtag organizers and especially martin "joey" schulze
for creating a unique and very inspiring linux event.
i'd also like to thank all the LAD folks who lurked on #lad ready to
answer questions from booth visitors, but due to network failures and an
extremely crowded booth, this did not happen as planned.
we'll be back next year.
regards,
jörn

And that was it!! What braindamaged compiler authors!
In the code
k = -1;
for (;;) {
if (k != nums[1]) {
k = nums[1];
fprintf(stderr,"%i\n",k);
}
fprintf(stderr,"g");
}
The whole if was apperently optimized away. The code printed only one
number and a lot of "g"s. Of the two choises (1) nums[1] is updated
elsewhere, (2) it is unnecessary code, coder just tries to be clever,
the compiler authors selected the latter.
Here is my suggestion to C standard: replace the "volatile"
with "goaheadandoptimizetheseawayiwerejustwastingmytimeincodingthese
theydonotmeananythingactually".
Instead of forcing legitimate coders to write volatile everywhere,
those fools who write unnecessary code should be forced to add
the proposed qualifier.

No, it is not hosted by Microsoft, but we know why they hired him.

Of course I can't make them happen again. In that session I was doing
a lot to try and muck things up - changing zoom, recording overlapping
regions...that seems to be in line with canvas problems. I can still
make the recording dropout rather easily and receive and xrun, but that
seems to answer my question - its seems to be a performance issue
trigering something as opposed to the xrun being a result of a bug.
I'll try again later.

Hi,
I am trying latencytest-0.42-png.tar.gz for measuring latency on my
Apple G3 (Debian/Sid PowerPC). Of course I am enabling USE_GENERIC_TIMER
and tuning my hard disk using hdparam before tests. But, results show a
very poor performance. Indeed, any X11 stressing involves a raise of the
latency and lots of dropouts.
I can't blame hardware. Apple hardware is top-class, and this same
machine features under 1,5 ms of latency using CoreAudio on Mac OS X.
So, whether the PowerPC kernel or X11 are not fully optimized, or the
latencytest application is not reliable on non-Intel platforms.
Any ideas?
Sorry for crossposting... ;)
