Hi, I had a thought that maybe the network sound card should not be using ethernet but instead wireless 802.11n. The ralink rt2870 chipset is well supported at full 300Mb/s on Linux and has open source drivers. I think this would open up a lot of opportunities with a wireless sound card. I'm not sure how many are on the market right now but I haven't heard of any yet so there is a big opportunity there to fill a gap. Cheers. -- Patrick Shirkey Boost Hardware Ltd

ALSA autoconnect

by Jens M Andreasen

Suppose you wanted a soft-synth to be instantly playable at startup (given the option: '--autoconnect') then what would be the ALSA functions for: 1) Saving the current "live" connection at exit (if any.) 2) Restoring the above (saved information.) /j

[ANN] jack_capture V0.9.36 and Ceres V0.48

by Kjetil S. Matheussen

Download from: http://archive.notam02.no/arkiv/src/?C=M;O=D jack_capture ============ jack_capture is a program for recording soundfiles with jack. Its default operation is to capture whatever sound is going out to your speakers into a file, but it can do a number of other operations as well. 0.9.32 -> 0.9.36 * Add support for OGG (requires sndlib>=1.0.18) * Check if file format is supported by sndlib before creating file * Added auto-support for WVE, MPC2K and RF64. (untested) * Reset terminal colors when exiting. * Check dependencies for various programs in the Makefile * Tried to make it even more clear (if that's possible) that 'jack_capture --port system:playback_1 --port system:playback_2' does exactly the same as the default. * Added untested patch from Orcan Ogetbil to make jack_capture compile on a ppc64 platform. In case jack_capture is ran on a ppc64 platform, a warning is printed during runtime. * Clearing up licenses * A fix for open() from Florian Faber. * A couple of gui fixes from Orcan Ogetbil. Ceres **************************** Ceres is a large program for doing various sound effects in the frequency domain and displaying sonograms. The program has been developed for about 13 years, and is mainly made by Øyvind Hammer with contributions from Jonathan Lee, Stanko Juzbasic and many others. 0.46 -> 0.48: -Various fixes to make it build with fc11 -Include openmotif to make it easier to build -Various makefile fixes

High-res PPQn

by Niklas Klügel

Hello list, I recently wrote a sequencer for multi-touch/collaborative music composition as part of my thesis. I currently set the PPQ to 128 which ought be enough for demonstration purposes and early testing. Now, I am wondering how to support higher PPQN efficiently. Some of you guys might have an experience in doing that; I've seen that renoise supports up to 4096 PPQN and DigitalPerformer uses some kind of variable clocking. Have you heard or implemented of techniques that are smarter than just cranking up the _fixed_ clock resolution? As timestamps I currently use 64bit ints, I guess I could encode the timing as (tick, +subdivisions) and poll the timing for the next event(s) and set the clock accordingly. Would that be worth it? Any general opinions about the max PPQN? thanks, so long... Niklas

Indeed this Gui didn't cover the full advance of jconv/jconvolver, but may be the one or other found it useful. Additional jcgui provide master gain, left/right gain, balance, left/right delay and tone bass/middle/high controllers.

FFADO 2.0 released

by Pieter Palmers

The FFADO team is proud and happy to announce the release of FFADO 2.0.0. As the release candidates have been around for almost one year now without a significant amount of bug reports we feel confident that the current code-base has matured. Around the end of november the 1000-th device was registered as being used with FFADO, which seemed to be a nice number to triggered the release. Furthermore on December 2 the Linux kernel version 2.6.32 has been released. This version fixes the new kernel FireWire drivers such that they are compatible with FFADO. So once the distributions pick up this kernel the old/new kernel stack confusion should be history. Thanks go out to the vendors that provided us with gear to support for the 2.0 release: Echo Digital Audio, Edirol, Ego Systems Inc, Focusrite, Mackie and Terratec. Kudos for their early-bird support! Special thanks also go to BridgeCo and TC Applied for providing us with their development platforms and for helping with vendor contacts. Their support makes that FFADO covers the most widely used platforms for FireWire audio and that we can quickly implement support for new devices. Looking ahead to the 2.1 release we can announce that we have implemented (basic) support for additional devices from Focusrite, Behringer, Stanton and TC Electronic. We plan to move to beta-testing 2.1 fairly soon as development on it has been ongoing for more than a year now. Additionally, work is being done on the RME devices, but its not yet known when that will be finished. Support for some other vendors is in the pipeline, so stay tuned for more announcements. A second major development is the move of the streaming infrastructure to kernel space. A kernel-space implementation will bring significant improvements with respect to reliability and efficiency. Furthermore it will allow to expose an ALSA interface, meaning that the scope of FireWire audio on Linux is extended significantly. Thanks to the Google Summer of Code and the Linux Foundation, work on this has been done during the summer. The code is not yet ready for use, but things are moving. More information can be found here: http://www.ffado.org/?q=release/2.0.0 For the eager, a direct download link: http://www.ffado.org/files/libffado-2.0.0.tar.gz On behalf of the FFADO team, Pieter Palmers

OSC: Divide & Conquer, or build a Stronghold?

by Harry Van Haaren

Hey all, I've been keeping myself busy lately, mostly with Python and OSC, and I'm using multiple clients/controllers to send messages to a sampler with an OSC interface. >From this experience it seems to me a good idea, to have a kind of "central" place where all Audio programs "Announce" thier OSC port & program name & version, so the linux-audio-desktop can be a little more "coherent" for lack of a better word.. ;-) We could create a kind of "Master OSC Host" which would keep track of which clients are running, and which ports they are using. This would be easiest to do if EACH client, would "register" itself on an agreed port. So if a client wants to read some information, they could query the "Master OSC Host" with a standardised set of questions about the current state of QTractor/Ardour/<Any OSC capable program>. This would mean that any program that wants to find out which Jack B:B:T or Frame were on or if there's been XRuns, wouldnt have to be a JACK client, because its been abstracted to the "Master OSC Host". I think this method would allow better inter program operability, as any "useful" information that one program could share, other could read. This would be most effective, if we also requested that programs followed a specific naming convention for features that each program has. EG: Save : /<prog_name>/save_state Load: /<prog_name>/load_state etc I'd like to get the communities feelings towards an initiative like this, feedback/criticism/opinions welcomed! -Harry Haaren

Request: Native Linux vst Host

by Josh Lawrence

Hi devs, I would like to make a humble request: I would like to have a simple, stand-alone application for hosting native Linux vsts (.so). It would have very simple gui requirements (gtk?), be simple to use, and multichannel like ghostess is, able to load a plugin per channel. it would support jack midi. I would be willing to donate to such a project...I know $100 USD isn't enough to feed anyone's kids, but I would be willing to give that amount (today, to a registered paypal acct) to see this simple app written by someone who has a track record of doing good projects (Nedko immediate jumps to mind, but I'm sure there are others). is there someone who would like to do this? (energyXT hosts native plugins, as does renoise and ardour, but I just want an app that can be called up live. jost exists, but I've never been able to get it to play for more than a few minutes without crashing...maybe something else exists that I'm not aware of?) -- Josh Lawrence http://www.hardbop200.com
