Hi!
Please, recomend a sound card with the best SPDIF out. Must be supported:
- ALSA support,
- stereo playing back,
- up to 96KHz sample rate,
- up to 24 bit depth,
- coaxial SPDIF out (optical is optional),
- of course, without resampling,
- (most important) minimal jitter.
Assumed using is a stereo playing back with an external DAC.
Preferably, without an overloading (MIDI, multiple analog ins/outs and so on).
Moreover, ADC/DAC may be absent at all :-) USB (rather PCI) variants are
acceptable also.
Thanks in advance!

QLoud is a tool to measure loudspeaker frequency response and (yes!) distortions.
Find it here:

Changes:
- harmonics (distortions) plotting is added,
- as a result, noticeable part of common code was refactored/rewritten.
Direct screenshot link to harmonics plot:

If you have a sound card with good DAC and ADC, you can plot harmonic
distortions for another audio equipment, say, for your power amplifier -
cited screenshot has also harmonics plot for loopbacked sound card.

Andrew, get the M-Audio Audiophile 2496.
It is well supported and does exactly what you need. You can find them
cheap used.
Be aware the Audiophile 192 is NOT supported.

I have had good success running dssi-vst (vsthost)and fst under
kubuntu, however the Native instruments Plugins seem to fail
continually. I have tried simply point both of these apps at the NI
plugin.dll files, but to not avail.
Does anyone have experience or a how-to on how to get these plugins
working?
Any help is very much appreciated.
Greetings:
I've been adding some logos to the top page at linux-sound.org, and I
thought it might be time to make some remarks regarding them.
Some are nice, some are very cool, and some are pretty awful. The logo
for LilyPond really needs an update, and where is Ardour's bitchin' cool
logo ? Some need titles (IMO), such as Aeolus, Common Music, LilyPond,
ChucK, Dino, and Khagan. I'm not a graphic artist, and I'm not going to
go through the process of overlaying titles. If the devs for those apps
are happy with the logos, that's perfectly cool by me, but IMO it's
better to have a title.
Some other logos are in need of an update, e.g. PlanetCCRMA, LAU, and
RTcmix. Is Thorsten our only graphic artist, or does anyone else here
have good graphics skills ?
I'm sure I'm missing logos for other apps. If you have an application
listed on linux-sound.org, please contact me if you'd like to add a logo
to the top page.
Best,
dp

Yes, it seems to be great! But the project would be xx times greater
if there were some screen shots plus a simple example host so that
it'll be easier for us to add FLAM into our own software.
(And in case those things already exist, make them easier to find on
the web-page)

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 0.9.6.2 -> 0.9.7.0
---------------------------
-Updated Snd from 8.0/2.4.2006 to 8.4/13.9.2006. Many important fixes.
-Added --fast-math as default cflags option.
-Various fixes.

Uwe has released Qwt v.5.0.0rc0. As a result, QLoud doesn't depend on any CVS tree now.
v.0.16 is out - INSTALL is changed to be in accordance with Qwt development. Also, min.
smoothing was reduced to 1/1024 :-)
If you already use the app, you can stay with v.0.15 (no bugs were found).
If you have rejected the app because of Qwt CVS-tree dependency - try it now :-)

Hi there!
I am in the process of adding preset management to my project FLAM
(custom GUIs for LADSPAs, flam.sf.net) which, by the way, is already
running under Rosegarden, checkout the SVN repo if you want to give it
a try.
For those interested I include below the specifications I have came up
with regarding preset management.
First I toyed with the idea of using SQLite to store the presets, but
there were some drawbacks to it (adding an extra dependency,
difficulties to manage list order, etc.) I was driven to it by the
wish of providing concurrent access from different instances of FLAM
but, in the end, I decided this feature was not worth the effort and
downgraded it to the possibility of reloading the preset list to get
the most up to date version at a certain point.
Then I gave a look at the preset API provided by lrdf but I don't like
it very much (makes use of uids -for retrieving the presets and for
avoiding triplet conflicts-, resulting file difficult to read by a
person.) OTOH it is somehow a standard (i.e., ardour uses it, any
other app?)
I have also thought of RDF/turtle as per the new LV2 spec but, if I am
not mistaken, raptor doesn't write turtle and, to be honest, all this
subject/predicate/object/ontology stuff seems like a bit of overkill
just to store groups of (int, float) pairs, although this may change
in LV2 if float is not the only type supported anymore.
Another thing I find awkward regarding preset management is that all
kind of ports share a common index space, so you have to pick the
input control ones among them. This makes the programmer resort to
convoluted data structures for what could be expressed, after all,
with just an array. Not really a big deal, but having the list of
input control ports singled out would make preset management easier.
I would be grateful for any advice on this subject.
Cheers,
Luis

- Presets management interface:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
- Keyboard accelerators: Ctrl+[0-9] loads one of the first ten
presets in the list (1-based, Ctrl+0 loads item #10.) Ctrl+Shift+[0-9]
saves the current status of the plugin in the corresponding position
of the list (optional confirmation dialog.)
- Context menu: there is a Preset entry in the context menu with three
submenus: "preset manager," "load" and "save." "Load" and "save" unfold
a list of the available presets to load or save respectively. "Preset
manager" opens or brings to front the preset manager.
- Preset manager is a non-modal dialog that displays a list of the
available presets and the following buttons:
- "Save list" dumps the preset list to the default disk location.
- "Reload list" reloads the preset list from the default list
location. Useful to share changes created in other instances of
that FLAM.
- "Export" exports the selected preset(s) to a user chosen file
in a certain exchange format.
- "Import" imports (adds) to the list the presets stored at user
chosen file in a certain exchange format.
- "Apply/Load/Retrieve/Set/Restore?" sets the plugin ports to the
values stored in the preset (accelerator: doubleclick on the list.)
- "Store/Save/Overwrite?" saves the status of the plugin to the
selected preset (optional confirmation dialog.)
- "New" creates a new preset from the current status of the plugin
with a default name and enters immediately into rename mode.
- "Delete" deletes the selected preset(s) from the list.
- "Rename" changes the name of the preset (accelerator: click a
selected item on the list.)
- "Up" moves the selected preset one position up the list.
- "Down" moves the selected preset one position down the list.
Buttons "Save List", "Reload List", "New", "Import" are always
enabled.
Buttons "Apply", "Store", "Rename", "Up", Down" are enabled when
only one item in the list is selected.
Buttons "Export", "Delete" are enabled when one or more items in
the list are selected.
Every plugin has two presets files (system and user) organized in a
tree following the DSSI recommendation.
