Again its me just another list,
apparently the ASUS 890FX mainboard has a yukon 88e8059 nic, which i
have not verified yet.
the marvell yukon 88e8059 specs say this nic is avb ready.
is there anyone who can verify this?

Dear Friends and fellow L2Ork and Pd enthusiasts,
I would greatly appreciate it if you would please distribute the following announcement.
The spring is in the air, which means it is time for the spring DISIS (http://disis.music.vt.edu) and L2Ork (http://l2ork.music.vt.edu) events. To start the season right, this past Friday L2Ork had a sneak preview performance at Roanoke College. More so, this coming weekend we are having a truly special series of events with the return of the Boys & Girls Club laptop orchestra whom we've been working with this semester. In addition, the spring DISIS event will also include guest artists and scholars Ron Coulter, Brad Garton, Peter Kirn, and Dave Phillips. The upcoming events include:
Thursday April 7 @ 3:30-4:45pm in DISIS presentation by Brad Garton
Friday 10am-1pm lectures in the Arts Armory by Brad Garton, Peter Kirn, and Dave Phillips (free admission)
Friday April 8 @ 7pm in Dumas Center (Roanoke, VA) children's concert featuring Boys & Girls Club laptop orchestra and L2Ork
Saturday April 9 @ 7pm in Squires Recital Salon children's benefit concert (an Arts Fusion event) featuring Boys & Girls Club laptop orchestra and L2Ork followed by a hands-on laptop orchestra demo session for kids and families ($5 general, $3 children/students/seniors, with all proceeds benefiting Boys & Girls Club)
Saturday April 9 @ 8pm in Squires Recital Salon benefit concert (an Arts Fusion event) featuring Ron Coulter, Brad Garton, Peter Kirn, Dave Phillips, and L2Ork ($5 general, $3 children/students/seniors, with all proceeds benefiting Boys & Girls Club)
This year we've also partnered up with the Virginia Tech Kids' Tech University program to expand our outreach to young audiences. For additional info on the upcoming events, please visit our Events page or our Facebook Event page (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=136468179758733). To keep up with the latest updates, join us on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=117918141555131).
As if that weren't exciting enough, earlier this weekend we've made yet another public release of pd-l2ork (http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/?page_id=56) with even more cool features and fixes (changelog: http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/data/pd/Changelog). Our site has been also updated with the new promotional materials and photos. Yet, in the spirit of Steve Jobs' keynote speeches we've left the best for last. Stay tuned for more exciting updates soon ;-)

I have a couple of sound adapters labeled
Sek'd Prodif 96
They are known to be a good card. However I have been
unable to find any drivers for Linux for these. I have
not been able to find a Users Manual either.
Does anyone have any information regarding these cards?
I would like to use them on either an OpenSUSE 11.2
or Ubuntu 10.04 system running Rivendell if possible.

Hi, I'm messing arround with the source of TerminatorX. As it seems, tX
needs a total rewright of the mixer and the audio backend.
Since many programs (Ardour, Qtracktor) have built mixers, I was
wondering from which project I could 'borrow' the mixer component.
I need a mixermodel which is strictly C++, which idealy has jack support
built in, possibly multithreaded, GUI-Independant and easy to handle.
I started to wright my own mixermodel, but then I thought how stupid it
is to reinvent the wheel. It would really be nice something like a
libmixer with jack, lv2, ladspa and VST support.

Having written a host myself. This is great advice when writing for ANY
plugin standard.
I go as far as to reject (different) plugins with duplicate URIs to promote
this practice

Announcing the _*Linux Audio Musicians Best of 2010 mix*_
Download and view the full playlist of 116 tracks here:
http://djcj.org/audio/lam/
Listen to the continuous radio stream here:
http://radio.linuxaudio.org/lam2010.ogg.m3u
****************************************************************************
Congratulations!!! to the Artists and Bands that made 2010 a bumper year
for well produced and unique music from the Linux Audio Community. This
mix is the biggest yet with over 100 tracks included and over 12 hours
of music to listen to. A hefty selection of guitar music and rock
productions are included in this years mix to complement the large range
of electronica. The variation of styles and genres is superb and as
expected there was lots of off the wall and challenging music produced
during the 2010 period also.
The playlist has been ordered in terms of Genre/Style to make it easier
to separate the tracks out for those with specific tastes and to ensure
the radio stream flows nicely.
If you feel that there is a track missing please feel free to contact me
with details. This is a snapshot of the year so lets make it as complete
as possible.
Enjoy!

Hello all,
Yesterday my main home system decided to 'meet its creator'.
The power supply sort of exited in a funny way, producing
unhealthy odors and some noises. I can still start the HW
using a spare PS, but the / filesystem seems beyond repair,
with fsck freezing the machine when trying to fix it - never
seen that before. Strangely enough I can still mount it and
was able to copy some directories from it that were more
recent than the last backup. I wonder if it's just the
file system being damaged or the disk HW itself.
Anyway after 8 years it's probably time for some new HW, and
I've been considering one of the 'Shuttle' boxes. Florian
Faber already recommended them some time ago, but I wonder
if anyone out there can report on them, or offer some advice
as to which series to prefer, what to avoid, etc.
TIA,

Hey guys,
I'm wondering how to approach creating a MIDI map to all controllers
available in the GUI. Needless to say I can hard code in a MIDI CC, and from
JACK's process callback call the function that I want to map that control
to, but that's a little rigid.
I like Ardour's one-click map idea, and I'm wondering how its implemented.
Here's what I concluded so far:
On mouse_3 down, pop up dialog, send message to JACK process to keep next
MIDI input stored somewhere. That's the CC to map
Where I'm getting stuck is how to make each CC point to a different
"parameter" in the software, or a different function in the code. Function
pointers come to mind, but somehow I don't like that idea much. Creating a
generic interface to map every control in the entire engine might work, but
I think that may be a little overkill?
I'd be interested to hear how various projects handles this internally, if
anybody wants to chip in?
Cheers, -Harry
