Hi LADs! a new free software is born: IceStream - https://sourceforge.net/projects/icestream/ it's a beta version, we are writing the known bugs & todo, some parts are in french but it is already possible to use it to mix audio streaming, to start an icecast from gui and the to send an audio stream to it or elsewhere. Thanks to mplayer, ices, icecast, vorbis and jack. It works with jackd server and use only ogg for the moment (we don't use mp3 anyway here). Of course, we are looking for beta-tester and more people are also welcome to help, support, develop and more if you want!! mailing list on its way and forum already in place : https://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/icestream/ bug tracker to come ;-) cheers Julien -- APO33 space of research and experimentation http://www.apo33.org info(a)apo33.org

[LAD] LV2 Core: waf configure fails

You do need to use the >included ./waf Using ./waf didn't solve the problem. I'm doing it from the core.lv2 directory because I'm creating packages for Ubuntu. If I come back to the SVN revision 273, it works fine. Since 274, I can't do "./waf configure" from the core.lv2 directory. (doing it from the trunk directory works though...) Hope that helps, Aurélien

[LAD] AlsaModularSynth and LV2

by Aurélien Leblond

Hi everyone! I have been using AlsaModularSynth for the past several years and I just love the sound of its internal modules... But AlsaModularSynth is a bit old looking, and it doesn't support LV2... On the other hand, Ingen looks brilliant, but I have never been able to recreate what I was able to do with AMS... I always had some weird issues to set a simple VCO/VCA/VCF setup... I see two solutions to that problem : - integrate LV2 to AMS... - extract the AMS internal modules and create LV2 plugins from them... >From the quick study I have done of the AMS source code, that second solution seems "quite simple" (as quite simple can be!), but I have few questions before I start on this quest : - first of all, would porting the AMS modules to LV2 change the sound? - is it actually possible to do it? Or did I miss something? - what is the future of Ingen? Altough it has be around for a while, it is never available in official repositories of Ubuntu for example... Is Ingen more meant to be testing LV2 plugins or can it be uses as a proper modular synth? I believe only Ingen and AMS have this modular way of creating synthesis? - hmm, anything else I should consider? Thanks in advance for the help, Aurélien

[LAD] Just released libsndfile-1.0.25

by Erik de Castro Lopo

Hi all, I've just released version 1.0.25. Main thing is a fix for Secunia Advisory SA45125, a heap overflow in the PAF file parser. Since the heap was getting overwritten with zeroes, there is little that an attacker can acheive other than causing a program that uses libsndfile to segfault. Secunia suggest remote system access is possible: http://www.securelist.com/en/advisories/45125 but I call bullshit. Secunia also join my shit list for going public with this a week early that they originally stated, meaning I had to rush this release out. The rush of the release means the windows builds have not been tested as thoroughly as I would have liked. As usual, its available from: http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/#Download Cheers, Erik -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Erik de Castro Lopo http://www.mega-nerd.com/

That might be possible. Eventually. The current behavior, to me, feels strange and unexpected, though: Opening a running session (twice) opens another set of windows. What's that ? Do I have a "doubled" session now ? It is very opaque, unclear, which window belongs to which session. Is that how it should be, is that what we'd want ? I'm adding a new section to the wiki page, "(Multi-) Session Handling". -- E.R.

[LAD] Feature requests: add JackSession support

by rosea grammostola

Linux Audio Developer, May I make a feature request here for your Linuxaudio application(s)? Could you please add JackSession support? It makes working with JACK standalone applications a lot more user friendly. There are some apps who support it already and they work fine, like Yoshimi, Qtractor, Pianoteq, Ghostess, Guitarix, Jack-Rack, Ardour3, Bristol, Seq24, Jalv, Ingen, Connie, Specimen and probably more. It is possible to use applications without JackSession-support in a session (via so called infra clients), it starts the applications, make the connections, but doesn't save the state. So obviously it would be far more useful if those applications would get JackSession-support also. Qjackctl is able to work as Session Manager, so is Pyjacksm (and likely Patchage in the future). According to comments on IRC by Paul Davis, it's very easy to add JackSession support to your application. "Its really easy, just handle 1 more callback from the server. Torben's walkthrough shows what is necessary." Torben's walktrough: http://trac.jackaudio.org/wiki/WalkThrough/Dev/JackSession Thanks in advance, \r

[LAD] Jack Session Manager: feature request

by rosea grammostola

Hi, It is very promising that devs like Torben, Paul Davis, Rui and David Robillard (to name a few), are 'backing up' Jack Session and that the Jack Session API is in the Jack API. This will give the community a very good chance that many apps will get JackSession support soon (or later). However, it's still reasonable to expect that not all LAD applications are going to be patched with JackSession support. In other words, there are and will be apps which might be useful (for one or more of us) to use in a session but which won't have JackSession (JS) support. From a users perspective, it would be very useful to be able to use that application (without JS support) in a session in some way nevertheless. At the moment one Session Manager (SM), Pyjacksm (Qjackctl will follow soon, and also Patchage I expect) makes this possible by manually adding 'infra clients' to a configuration file, .pyjacksmrc. See example below. Infra clients are designed for applications without a state, like a2j. But it is also possible to use apps without JS support as infra client. Amsynth is an application without JS support and in this way I am able to load amsynth, with project A. The SM makes sure that Amsynth is started and that the Jack connections are restored (that's the only thing the SM can do for you for apps without JS support). But I don't want to use Amsynth with Project A always (Session 1). I might be working on a totally different project and want to make a session for that also (Session 2). This time I want to load amsynth as: amsynth -b /home/user/projectB.amSynth.presets (I don't use Session 1 and 2 together in this example). To be able to load Session 2, I have to edit my .pyjacksmrc file or make symlinks. *Feature request*: It would be nice if the SM could provide me a way to load a different configuration file. For example: JackSessionManagerX --load configurationfileSession2 Thanks in advance, \r .pyjacksmrc: [DEFAULT] sessiondir = ~/linuxaudio/JackSession [infra] a2j = a2jmidid -e amsynth = amsynth -b /home/user/projectA.amSynth.presets configurationfileSession2: [DEFAULT] sessiondir = ~/linuxaudio/JackSession [infra] a2j = a2jmidid -e amsynth = amsynth -b /home/user/projectA.amSynth.presets

Re: [LAD] audio format abadie.jo

Pierre, I suspect it was intended to send it to the list? -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: pierre jocelyn andre To: Ralf Mardorf Subject: Re: [LAD] audio format abadie.jo Date: Thu, 7 Jul 2011 08:06:36 +0200 Oui c'est exactement ça " He's looking for help with the C language, testing, and creating a new generation of audio card", sauf que je ne demande pas d'aide, je donne des bases pour pouvoir développer. Chacun est libre de modifier, de garder ou de donner ses sources. La seule limite est dans la licence que j'ai fixé.
