[LAD] Whitespaces in jack client/port names / jack_connect

by Philipp

Hi, I have issues with jack client names that contain whitespaces. Example: $ jack_connect MPlayer [19079]:out_0 system:playback_2 ERROR [19079]:out_0 not a valid port Any idea how I can make this work? I tried: $ jack_connect "MPlayer [19079]:out_0" "system:playback_2" ERROR MPlayer [19079]:out_0 not a valid port $ jack_connect 'MPlayer [19079]:out_0' 'system:playback_2' ERROR MPlayer [19079]:out_0 not a valid port So I wonder whether spaces in jack client names and ports are even allowed, since imho jack_connect is a rather fundamental tool, and either the tool or those clients are broken. -- Philipp -- "Wir stehen selbst enttäuscht und sehn betroffen / Den Vorhang zu und alle Fragen offen."

It is a configuration mistake in this release which doesn't show up in F12, which is what I'm still using. Apparently, Fedora13 wants it to link with "-lm", but F12 links happily without "-lm" ...So I never saw this misconfiguration when I tested my distro build on F12... As a quick fix, you should be able to link successfully by adding "-lm" to the end of the linking command: gcc -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/pixman-1 -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/libpng12 -I/usr/include/alsa -g -O2 -o envy24control envy24control.o levelmeters.o midi.o mixer.o patchbay.o hardware.o driverevents.o volume.o profiles.o config.o -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lgio-2.0 -lpangoft2-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lpangocairo-1.0 -lcairo -lpango-1.0 -lfreetype -lfontconfig -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lasound -lm The correct approach is to add "-lm" to the configuration files (i thought i had, but mistakenly modified the generated file rather than the configuration input files -- and "make dist-gzip" didn't of course include my modification) ... I will need to fix this build-blunder in the next release. Sorry. If anybody has a suggestion on the most portable/reliable way of doing this, please let me know. I believe adding a line to configure.in-gtk2 like ENVY24CONTROL_LIBS="$LIBS $ALSA_LIBS $GTK_LIBS -lm" would do the trick, but you never know what happens to a simple line of script out in the wild :-). Is the above an accepted&proper way of adding "-lm" to an autoconf file? -- Niels http://nielsmayer.com

[LAD] guitarix-0.11.1 Bug fix release

by hermann

On behalf of the guitarix team I'm proud to announce Guitarix Version 0.11.1 Bug fix release Guitarix is a simple Linux Rock Guitar amplifier and is designed to achieve nice thrash/metal/rock/blues guitar sounds. Guitarix uses the Jack Audio Connection Kit as its audio backend and brings to the jack audio graph a mono amplifier input/output port, and a FX mono input with two (stereo) output ports. Guitarix provides a jack midi input port to connect a midi controller (midi learn) and a (3 channel) jack midi output port, feed by a (scalable) mix of the tuner and a beat-detector. Release 0.11.1 comes with following changes : * fix Bug Echo/Chorus/Delay/Slooper don't work * add pre/post processing switch to all mono Effects We put the Guitarix widgets into a library, with the goal of making them usable independently from Guitarix. You can build it as shared library and there's a c++ (gtkmm) wrapper, a python wrapper and glade support. Check it out and look for examples in those directories, or just build a nice looking display with the glade editor, and of course ask in our Guitarix forum (it's still alpha). As a side note, Guitarix is now in debian(sid/squeeze/Experimental) , have fun _________________________________________________________________________ guitarix is licensed under the GPL.

Hi There, Working on new version of APODIO http://www.apodio.org & wiki of the work in progress http://www.apodio.org/wiki (please add ideas there if you feel like!!) I compiled monobristol (bristol GUI) and met the same problem as falktx which to be around here. the erro when starting monobristol is : Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object at MainWindow..ctor () [0x00000] at monoBristol.MainClass.Main (System.String[] args) [0x00000] I followed this message : http://old.nabble.com/Is-anyone-using-monobristol-0.60.1--td29132285.html (which seems to be the same everywhere) I uptaded it with the repository of kxstudio... but same error... did I missed something? I used ubuntu 10.04 thanks for the answer Julien -- APO33 space of research and experimentation http://www.apo33.org info(a)apo33.org

[LAD] what does "full range" mean with regard to ambisonics and speakers?

by "Bearcat M. Şandor"

Folks, I'm a recovering audiophile. When i was reading the magazines and reading about over priced (in my now opinion) speakers, the words "full range" tended to mean that a speaker was reasonably flat from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Granted those were unusual. I have read that speakers in an ambisonic set up should be "full range". I'd like to set up a ambisonic speaker system (8 channel to start), and the prospect of 8 full range channels is daunting. Since it seems they would be stand or wall mounted (at least some of them) that means monitors and subwoofers. Since all channels must be the same, that means 8 subwoofers...somewhere in the room. So what does "full range" mean usually and what does it mean in terms of talk on this list? Thanks, Bearcat

I just saw the announce on http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/ "We are looking for front-end developers, web-designers and wiki-administrators to join in." What kind of help do you need? I mean, different from editing wiki content. I could help with little graphics or web-design.

[LAD] Clipping outputs

by Gabriel M. Beddingfield

Hi guys, Is it necc. for me to clamp my audio outputs to [-1.0, 1.0]? Somewhere I got it in my head that I need to clip my output signal (float*) to the range [-1.0, 1.0] before sending my audio signals downstream. However, this is a big time waster. When I review other projects for efficient ways to clip... I can't find any.[1] Looks like nobody's doing it. Thanks, Gabriel [1] I found one in ardour, but it looks like it's just for float->int conversion, and (possibly) not even utilized within ardour.

[LAD] entailments of probabilistic processing chip for DSP and audio processing?

by Niels Mayer

http://www.technologyreview.com/read_article.aspx?id=26055&a=f A computer chip that performs calculations using probabilities, instead of binary logic, could accelerate everything from online banking systems to the flash memory in smart phones and other gadgets. [...] The electrical signals inside Lyric's chips represent probabilities, instead of 1s and 0s. While the transistors of conventional chips are arranged into components called digital NAND gates, which can be used to implement all possible digital logic functions, those in a probability processor make building blocks known as Bayesian NAND gates. Bayesian probability is a field of mathematics named after the eighteenth century English statistician Thomas Bayes, who developed the early ideas on which it is based. [...] Lyric has been working on its technology in stealth mode since 2006, partly with funding from the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. DARPA is interested in potential defense applications that would involve working with information that isn't clear cut--for example, radio signals distorted accidentally or otherwise, and machine vision systems that try to recognize actions or objects in images. "They're interested in some James Bond-type applications," says Vigoda. Niels http://nielsmayer.com

Yes I added the resize the following day. The CPU usage of the graphics has been bothering me. It was using Cairo which can do some funky stuff, but it comes at a price. My latest commit has removed the Cairo code and replaced it with GDK. GDK is 'closer to xlib' and is less funky, but performance is much better. This version is using two boundaries fed by a single pattern. I need some ideas about the user interface. The way you can manipulate the boundary box positions and dimensions around is good. But I'd like the user to also be able to change the scale and key of the events placed within the boundary with as much ease. Being able to make selections will be important too. Though I imagine there's going to be a whole lot of icons with boxes on them! An icon to make selections An icon to define a boundary An icon to redefine a boundary (repositon+redimension in one foul swoop) An icon to define a block (a block blocks events from being placed where it is) very boxy indeed. Cheers, James.
