[linux-audio-dev] Q 4.6 released

by Dr.Graef＠t-online.de

Q is a multi-platform functional programming language based on term rewriting, which comes with a collection of useful addon modules for system, scientific and multimedia programming. Release 4.6 of Q is now available, along with Q-Audio 1.2 and Q-Midi 1.12. Q 4.6 provides a much improved GGI module and a new ImageMagick module, both very useful for programming graphics in Q. Q-Audio 1.2 features a new module to display audio data in a GGI visual and a sample graphical audio player application. Q-Midi 1.12 sports some minor fixes and a simplified Windows install procedure. Downloads and more information about the Q project can be found on the Q website at http://q-lang.sourceforge.net Enjoy! -- Dr. Albert Gr"af Email: Dr.Graef(a)t-online.de, ag(a)muwiinfa.geschichte.uni-mainz.de WWW: http://www.musikwissenschaft.uni-mainz.de/~ag

[linux-audio-dev] [Fwd: [linux-audio-user] 3-D Audio: To Plug-In or Not to Plug-In?]

by Joern Nettingsmeier

hi everyone! here's a post from david clark to the lau list, which i think might be developer material :) it's a followup to this thread: http://eca.cx/lau/2004/01/0039.html best, jörn -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [linux-audio-user] 3-D Audio: To Plug-In or Not to Plug-In? Date: Wed, 07 Jan 2004 22:32:51 -0800 From: davidrclark(a)earthlink.net Reply-To: davidrclark(a)earthlink.net, A list for linux audio users <linux-audio-user(a)music.columbia.edu> To: linux-audio-user(a)music.columbia.edu On the 3-D audio (Interest in Software?) thread, I had promised to mail out something on a plug-in. It got a little too long, so rather than clog up everyone's mailbox, I went ahead and put it in: http://home.earthlink.net/~davidrclark/linux_audio_users/Plug-in.html If this isn't proper nettiquette for this user's mailing list, someone please do let me know. It would be easier just to email my ramblings. --------------------- Bottom line is: I'm not sure if it makes sense as a plug-in or not. I think I may provide the impulse response function generator and my own convolution engine, then let one of the plug-in gurus see what they can do, if they want to. If nothing happens, it'll be a command-line thingy until I get motivated to GUI it all up. No schedule, but I'd be happy to provide a crude tarball to anyone who wants to try and deal with it at any time. I PROMISE it won't be easy without some instruction. Please email me privately also so that I'm sure to see it.

Installation worked only under winex3, not under wine. Runtime behaviour is the same for both. (I just copied over the YAMAHA tree from winex to wine) The program only starts up if I change the wine audio driver from oss in alsa. With oss it gives errors opening midi for in and out. With alsa the program is fully functional except that there are no midi devices selectable. Does anyone have better experiences with midi under wine or with xgworks in particular? Thanks, Joost Damad (P.S.: screenshot of xgworks at: http://lumatec.be/joost/xgworks.png )

[linux-audio-dev] Which API to use for simple clients?

by Nick Ing-Simmons

I have two Audio related projects that need updating. 1. "rsynth" formant based text-to-speech synthesis 2. Audio::* Perl modules. Both have existing /dev/dsp style backends at present, which have been working fine. But recently (SuSE 9.0 install?) when run under ALSA emulation of /dev/dsp they both started producing segfaults - "after program had exited", (neither valgrind nor gdb can give any info on the fault). So I decided it was time to do a native ALSA backend(s). I have rsynth backend working, and perl Audio:: one almost working. But before going forward I would like to solicit opinions on what is the "right" API to use. The Linux audio world seems to be in a state of flux with these options (please tell me if I missed any): 1. Venerable OSS stuff - Widely available :-) - Some cards have quasi or truely commecial drivers rather than free / opensource ones :-( - emulation via ALSA (at least as shipped by SuSE) seems broken :-( 2. ALSA - Reasonably widely available :-|, and improving - Opensource :-) - Documentation is lacking :-( Everything hinges on the "Configuration Space" concept, but I can't find an explanation of how that works. This is the sticking point with perl code - I can't find how to change the sample rate / channels, so _seems_ I need to close and re-open. 3. JACK - Gets lots of excited "this is cool" kind of coverage :-) - realtime :-) - Callback style not ideal for speech synthesis or play-from-file of my simple apps. complex :-( 4. Enlightenment Sound Demon - Seems to be used by KDE etc. - haven't looked into it further. 5. Network Audio System - Works on many platforms Linux/Solaris/X Terminals :-) - X-like "imake" style rather than configure :-( - Linux version still seems to be based on OSS - so recurse ;-) 6. Presumably there is some kind of telephony API as well, for sending sound to incomming phone calls via modem / ISDN Complexity and callbacks don't scare me - I do perl/Tk after all! But this is a 2nd-string project so I don't want to do a lot of complex stuff for an API that is vanishing - I would rather either use a simple stable interface, or pitch in and help on the "comming" complex API. Suggestions anyone? (I just subscribed to both lists - so reply to your favourite list.)

[linux-audio-dev] xg editor

by Florian Schmidt

Hi, is there any linux app available that lets me play around with my yamaha db 50 xg daughterboard? In windows there was xgedit.exe [non freeware]. I tried to get it to run in wine, but the installer doesn't want to :) So, i'm looking for an XG editor for linux. Any hints? -- music: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/9/florianschmidt.htm

[linux-audio-dev] Session Exchange announcement

by Taybin Rutkin

Session Exchange 0.0.1 is available at: http://www.piratesvsninjas.com/software/session_exchange.py . It lets people easily manage their ardour sessions, specifically, with sharing snapshots across the internet for collaboration. It requires python2.2, pygtk2, and the latest version of twisted-matrix, available at http://www.twisted-matrix.com . It uses a three pane model. The first pane is for the session, the second for the collaborator, and the third for the snapshot. It is fundamentally done, since it exchanges the files correctly. The user interface needs touching up, and it needs to be smarter about which files it transfers. Overall though, I'm feeling pretty good about it. Stay tuned for documentation. Patches and comments welcome. Taybin

[linux-audio-dev] problem with via82cxx sound driver

by Can Ugur Ayfer

Hi All, I've been having some weird problem with my new mainboard which has an onboard VIA ac97 sound card When I set everything for OSS drivers, xmms plays mp3 files like a stuck record player. I can move around the music file but it gets stuck in the first second. When I try the piece of code I have written to use OSS techniques, my simple program which is supposed to play an instrument file with half a second of music recorded, the card plays the sound repeating it indefinitely (until I abort the program). The I switched to Alsa. When I use Alsa xmms plays fine but my piece of code (unchanged, still using OSS calls) repeats the sample 32 times in 2 channels (stereo), 16 times in single channel (mono) Linux is MDK 9.2. I tried the same things on a Dell notebook with exactly the same Mandrake 9.2 (installed from the same network NFS server) but ofcourse a different sound card, everything works fine. Therefore it is certain that the problem is with the sound card driver.
