Yes, it is a replacement for AC '97. But get this: it supports (drum roll) DVD-Audio and SACD!!! I can't wait!! Look for it in '04. Bearcat M. Sandor

[linux-audio-dev] Azalia

by Steve Harris

Its a replacement for AC97, saw it mentioned in last months sound-on-sound, sounds like it might enable ALSA to support all the azalia cards with one driver (hah!) http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,3973,901691,00.asp http://www.eetimes.com/sys/news/OEG20030221S0043 - Steve

[linux-audio-dev] MIDI files contain strange byte sequences ?

by Benno Senoner

Hi, I'm just writing some MIDI file ( SMF 0/1) loading routines and while the file structure is quite simple I came across some MIDI files (mainly .KAR (=midi + embedded lyric events)) where there are some byte sequences that do not make sense to me. (attaching a short hexdump at the end of mail). Basically I read the MTrk shown below and after the ff 01 TEXT meta event which contains the text 'Reset Volume' there are sequences of 00 07 7f till the next ff 01 text event 'Reset Pan'. But the midi file spec says that after each event (the Reset Volume text) you need to read the deltatime (0 in this case) and then read the status byte in that case 7 means running status active thus another text event should follow. so you interpret ff 7 as META_CUE event of length 127. But this does not make sense since there are no 127 bytes following. That way the midi reader gets lost and aborts. If you look at the data after 'Reset Pan' same problem: sequences of 00 0a 40 till the next event. So I ask if some MIDI expert could shed some light if I missed something. timidity seems to cope fine with these events. (reads the file correctly and plays the lyrics too). many thanks for your hints.

[linux-audio-dev] PLEASE I NEED YOUR ASSITANCE

by xmailer＠yahoo.com

URGENT ASSISTANCE NEEDED You may be surprise to receive this Email from me since you do not know me personally. However, I would like to introduce myself. I am Emmie Kings the son of Doctor. Ebba kings. Who was murdered few months ago in Zimbabwe, as a result of land dispute? Before the death of my father (Dr. kings), he had taken me to Amsterdam and deposit the sum of Fifteen Million United States dollars (US$15,000,000) in a security company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe. The money in question was deposited in a box as Gemstones to avoid much demurrage from the security company. The proposed amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the farms and establishment of new farms on Swaziland. As you may be aware this land problem came into force when Zimbabwe president Mr. Robert Mugabe Introduced the Land Reformed Act of which my father rich farmers and some black farmers where affected. This resulted to the killing and Mob action by Zimbabwe war veterans and some lunatics in the society, a lot of people were killed because of this Land reformed act of which my dad was one of the victims. It is against this background that my family and Iaugustim who are currently staying in Amsterdam decided to transfer my father's money to a foreign account. Since the Dutch law prohibit a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any account or be involved in any financial transaction. As The eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where the money could be transferred. I am faced with the dilemma of investing this amount of money in Holland for the fear of going through the same experience in future since both countries have similar history. Moreover, The Netherlands foreign exchange policy does not allow such investment from asylum seekers. I humbly solicit for your assistance in the following: 1) Pay a short working day visit to Amsterdam the Netherlands so that we see face to face, Have a table talk that would create confidence in me that the funds will be safe in your hands and have an agreement from an advocate, which will be duly and legally sign in his chambers before taken any step in this transaction. 2) Get the entire necessary document regarding this transaction and claim the boxes from the security company, open an account in your name with a local bank here and deposit the money for onward transfer to your designated account in overseas. 3) Make a good arrangement for investment and do invest the money for me, I am willing to give you some percentage for your assistance on this, and I offer you 15%. 5% for any expenses, including your telephone calls and any other expenses that may arise during this process. 80% would be invested and you get your wages monthly for managing the funds. Contact me on the above Email, provide me with your telephone and fax number so we can discuss further and a chance for you to ask me any question you may have in mind, while you maintain the absolute secrecy required in the transaction. Please kindly get back to me with your detail contacts. Sincere Regards, Emmie Kings.

IIRC, sysex events and meta-events cancel any running status which was in effect. Running status does not apply to and may not be used for these messages. If the above rule was applied, you can't assume 0xff as a running status byte and use it for the next messages after the text meta-event, but in this case there is not a status byte for them. If the rule was half-applied, then may be a running status of 0xb1 from the message preceding the meta-event, which makes sense because the text says 'Reset Volume' and 07 is the volume controller number.
