For all here who don't follow the kernel lists..
Thomas Gleixner has announced a new version of the real-time patch:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/19/309
Even though most of the pro-audio-relevant preemt-rt patches are already
mainline since 2.6.39, this is still very interesting mostly because:

..and this latency plot is stunning:

Hi everyone,
I want to give hdsp mixer OSC support for fader-, pan, mute and presetcontrol in both directions and input metering.
the OSC client shall be another hdsp mixer instance on the remote machine.
I wanted to know, where i can find the sources?
And if someone has some hints to do that...
Bye Ck
Hi,
Are the proceedings from the LAC printed in any journals? I know Dave did
a report this year but I'm not sure if that counts as published
proceedings when it comes to making things official.

That's an interesting feature of that tool. I was not aware of that
functionality. It appears to work on the time domain not the
amplitude/phase of the signal. I assume as it uses a similar code base to
librubber band to achieve that functionality.
IIRC, It is still not quite doing what the original request appeared to
be asking for. i.e. down tuning an existing signal. ( He didn't require
time adjustment )
Would it just be a case for a pitch shifter with a automation fade curve
sone in Ardour/qtractor, etc...?

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

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
