Hi everyone.
for a project, we need to be able to play sound (at first look wav file), and
we made several tests ; with a created stereo sound, we try to use alsa but
the results doesn't fullfill our needs :
sound played at the time, T, we want, and finished at the date, D=T+sound
duration.
(thi is a software with strict time constraints)
The sound was always troncated (even with finished software such as xmms,
amarok), and even randomly truncated, (sound created with audacity, and
exported as WAV 16/32 bit etc).
When we use OSS, all seems to be perfect.
But, it seems that OSS is nowadays "deprecated", and consequently we shouldn't
use OSS. What we can do ? Are our alsa results due to misconfigurations ?
For the brave: an alpha release of Aliki (Room Impulse
Response Measurement) is now available on:
http://users.skynet.be/solaris/linuxaudio
along with a manual that should get you started.
This is basically the code used at the LAC2006
workshop, cleaned up a but.
As said, ALPHA, incomplete, probably lots of bugs.

Vmwaredspjack
=============
This is the vmwaredsp program, made by Petr Vandrovec, which makes vmware
work with esd or arts. This version adds jack support as well.
(Unfortunately, jacklaunch (which is a similar program) doesn't work with
vmware, but I think Gunter is working on it... :-) .)
The program isn't always working that well, but if used with care
(don't trust the output too much) and proper tuning, you can use
professional windows audio software in vmware using jack for audio
communication.

Snd-ls v0.9.7.6
===============
Snd-ls is a distribution of Bill Schottstaedt's 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.
Changes 0.9.7.1 -> 0.9.7.6:
---------------------------
-Proper debug output in case startup fails.
-Fixed bug in jack audio.
-Temporary remove the fft menu because its not working with the 26.9.2006
version of Snd. Bug found by Dragan Noveski.
-Check for the existence of the sndfile.h header file before compiling.
If it doesn't exist, snd-ls will refuse to run. Problem reported by
Krzusztof Gawlas.
-Make sure snd starts up even if no file was loaded during startup. Bug
found by Dragan Noveski.
-Really apply the workaround for the menu problem.

Jack_capture V0.3.8
===================
jack_capture is a small program to capture whatever
sound is going out to your speakers into a file.
This is the program I always wanted to have for jack, but no
one made. So here it is.
Changes 0.3.7 -> 0.3.8:
-----------------------
*Added the --recording-time option to stop recording after a certain
number of seconds.
*Quitting with CTRL-C/SIGINT writes remaining buffer to disk before
ending program.

Hi Fons.
Can you please tell us more about Aliki?
I am using Denis Sbragion's DRC program to generate an impulse response
file, and his suite of graphing tools to generate various views of the
measurement.
What is the output of Aliki? Just an impulse response file? In what
way is your method different than DRC? Does Aliki use ALSA or JACK for I/O?
I'll have a look at the code tonight but I was hoping you could fill me
in on the "big picture".
Thanks,
Ben Loftis
Hi,
do you know any good clock/sync tutorials out there?
Or do you have any good hints on this?
I hope you can help me.
