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.

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

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

Hello World in LV2

by Olivier Guilyardi

Hi, Looking around the LV2 Trac at http://lv2plug.in/trac/, I don't see any simple introduction on how to create a minimal plugin. Is there any plan for this? I think that a gain plugin tutorial could be a way to show how to say Hello World in LV2. Something very short, which include proper links to reference documentation. Not a long story as "LV2 programming for the complete idiot" which IIUC also happens to be obsolete. In addition to helping the newbie find his way, one advantage of a short and simple tutorial is that it should be easy to maintain when LV2 evolves. And as an alternative or companion to the tutorial, the source code for a minimal (official) example would be great. I mean, the kind of example that you find in JACK source code. Does a such thing already exist? -- Olivier

Re: [LAD] [LAU] cancelling I/O with libsndfile

Issuing large requests, then cancelling as needed > gives a process the lowest possible latency for unpredictable seeks > (caused e.g. by user commands), while keeping CPU usage low (by > avoiding syscall and context switching overhead) Let me put it this way: a) When I designed libsndfile over 10 years ago, I never dreamed anybody would try this. b) In the 10 years libsndfile has been around and the probably hundreds of applications it has been used in, noone has suggested that it would be a good idea if libsndfile could do this. To me that suggests that either you have a completely unique problem to solve or that they are other solutions to your problem that other people use to get around the same problem. My guess is that your problem is not completely unique. > > Reading one frame at a time sounds like a bad idea too. > > 1 frame at a time was an extreme example.

Joining a mailing list usually involves: a) Send a request to join. b) Receiving a "confirm that you want to join" message. c) Sending "confirm that you want to join". d) Receiving a "yes, you are mow a member" message. > and sent a message at that time (which received no > bounces, but no replies either).

All other complaints of this sort that I have received have been from people who couldn't figure out the subscribe procedure or joined from one email address and sent mail to the list from another.

rakarrack & jack session & jack1 & jack2

by Josep Andreu

Hi I have recently added jack session support to rakarrack ... I was check with jack1 ...and session is restored perfectly even if I use a lot of rakarrack instances with others apps .... but ... I have problems with jack2 ... if I use more than one instance of rakarrack ... sometimes works ... but most times some instances of rakarrack are unable to open jack client ... believe me I changed everything to try to fix but I really don't know why that happens .... you know me I'm not a programmer .. :-( If someone can tell me something about how to fix that I will really appreciate :-) I use debian with the lastest svn jackmp installed in /usr/local .. also I have the jack1 debian package installed in /usr .. I dont know if that can be a problem ... anyway the jack2 server runs perfect ... in fact normally I use jack2 because runs better on my computer ... and of course I can open manually all the rakarrack instances I want .... Sorry I'm lost .. :-) Josep -- Josep Andreu <holborn(a)telefonica.net>

[ANN] jack-file 1.0

by Dan Muresan

Hi, jack-file 1.0 is available on github: http://danmbox.github.com/jack-file/ It contains file2jack, a Jack transport-centric audio player that maps files onto the (optionally periodic) transport timeline. It can map one or several files to arbitrary positions on the transport timeline, and if requested it can make the timeline "appear" to loop (without actually moving the transport -- so no playback gaps! file2jack simply sends out a periodic waveform). There is also jacktransportloop, a simple utility to force the transport to shuttle back and forth between two endpoints (this one will, of course, create gaps, but is useful to control other applications). Thanks to all those who have been helped via LAD regarding libsndfile and jack. -- Dan
