Hi!
Requirements in order of importance, highest first:
- not likely to get us into legal trouble
- no too obvious negative interpretations/associations
("too obvious" because it's too hard, internationaly, otherwise)
- no conflict with established open source projects
- easy to search for
Pretty much every 3 letter combo is in use by some company or
institute. Few are pronounceable. It's similar with 4 letters.
Suggestions with few (and not relevant looking) or no Google hits:
splugs - …
[View More]stream processing plugins
sppib - stream processing plugins in bundles
laspib - linux audio ...
buspp - bundled stream processing plugins
streamins - streaming/stream-processing plugins
sprocins - stream processing plugins
[Streaming because there are continuous i/o streams of data
as far as I understand, while there's no limitation to
audio/float anymore. Corect me if I'm wrong.]
Cheers,
Thorsten Wilms

Changed name of the port shortname property to "symbol", which hopefully
implies more the right thing.
Added Rate before Control and Audio port names to hopefully make thier
menaing clearer for people who may not come from a LADSPA background.
This is just fiddling really, so I think it's starting to settle down.

I've had this request on a non-Linux list:
Can you provide more feedback (about) ... multimedia players capable of
decoding Dolby AC3, DTS, DVD-Audio, etc. on a Linux machine?
What about software players running on a CAR-PC and surround-capable?
I know very little about the whole field of multimedia players
for proprietary formats on Linux. Can someone fill in the gaps ?
- which apps are available ?
- are they open-source ?
- what interfaces (ALSA, JACK, OSS, ...) do they have ?
- do …
[View More]they require Windoze emulation ?
- what is their maintenance state ?
- etc.
Many thanks,

Hi,
I saw this thread earlier on this list about the Edirol UA-101 external
audio interface: http://lalists.stanford.edu/lad/2005/09/index.html#162
I'm trying to use the same device, but strangeley enough, it doesn't
even get recognized. Looking at both the kernel sources and at the
alsa-driver sources, I see the following comment:
./sound/usb/usbquirks.h: /* TODO: add Edirol UA-101 support */
how did you guys make it work?

Removed the :logarithmic hint, I agree with Paul, its not
fit-for-purpose as specified.
I'm now using the DOAP schema (http://usefulinc.com/doap) instead of Dublin
Core for software information, much more appropriate.
Fixed a load of typos in the schema and examples.
Dave R. doxygen-ised the .h and added some text about choosing URIs.
I removed the references to run_adding() (I think I got them all).

To close this thread for now.
Thank you all for your kind and useful responces.
However, it turned out that the main showstopper is visa.
We can't get it for such a long time (a month), as it would be our first one.
Things get even more complicated, since my girlfriend right now is not
a student and does not have a job. They say we should build our
"Shengen history" and after one-two (more - better) short and regular
tours we can hope to get month-long visa anywhere we want.
Taking this into …
[View More]account, we have to postpone our Trip to the next
year and try to make two tours to shengen this year.
It's a pity, since tours via travel agencies are about twice as
expensive, but they are our only legal gates to europe.
Moveover, the choice of the first place to visit is also restricted.
We wanted to make London-Paris tour, but GB has very strict rules and
rules us out. Possibly, it will be France and/or Italy as the most
permissive ones.
Will try to match our DreamTrip with the next LAC.
Kind regards,
Dmitry.

How about both recursive and a girlie name?
BELLA = BELLA Effects Layer for Linux Audio

Richard's preferred name of "PEA" (AKA anything that's not LADSPA2) got me
to thinking. What about abstracting it up one level and calling the
directory + .so files + manifest thing a POD (Plugin Object and
Description). Theres nothing particularly audio specific about the high
level construct, its "just" that we don't have a concrete ABI for dealing
with sills, video etc.
This means that what we think of as a "LADSPA2" plugin would be a
"LADSPA POD". The directory would have a .pod extension.

POD seems like a nice word to me, plenty of scope for puns, short and "pod
plugin" on google doesn't come up with anything much. The only audio
related things for "pod" I could see are: a guitar effects processor called
a PODxt (there was a POD historically), an audio I/O device called a
Firepod, and the documentation for the LADSPA Perl module. Perl docs
are the only non-coincidental hits for "LADSPA POD".
I could juggle the description stuff around the seperate pod-ness from
ladspa-ness, it's not hard, but also not neccesary.
There is a small name clash with Perl, which uses .pod for it's
documentation format, but I dont think that's really an issue, our .pods
will be found in POD_PATH (eg. /usr/lib/pod/, ~/.pod/) and be will be
directories.
Thoughts?

Not much honestly. Digi was demo'ing the new version of PT but they are just
playing catchup with the innovative companies at this point. The coolest
thing at the show was definitely Ardour, which we were using as a playback
and recording machine for our mixing consoles.

There are infinite ways to do …
[View More]this and none of them make the music sound
better than stereo. OK I guess "better" is subjective but there's certainly
no "correct" way to do it. You can easily derive a center/sub channel but
most systems do something hideous when it comes to the rear channels.
