Could someone please do a simple test on any Pipewire installation
set up to use/replace Jack (or shed any light on this).
If I run 'pw-record crontest.wav' it works fine, as expected.
If I run 'pw-cat 2> errrrr.txt' ditto, of course.
If I setup a user cronjob with 'crontab -e' to run the commands
(at the start of the next minute or so) the first does nothing,
while the second works.
Cron writes to /var/log/syslog like:
CRON[7694]: (john) CMD (pw-record crontest.wav)
rtkit-daemon[1277]: Supervising 7 threads of 4 processes of 1 users
(second line repeated)

This was my initial idea, however what I think is more likely is that there
is no dbus session for the process to connect to.
Are you running PW as a user or system-wide?

Systemd started off like that as well... and now it has its tentacles
everywhere, and has become a nightmare to configure and for security.
Some questions:
* Will PW run without systemd, polkit, dbus ?
* Will it have a configuration that is fully controlled by the
end user, centralised in one place, and that is protected from
modification by just dropping files in some ***.d ?

If this is going the work the same way as systemd I fear it will be
glorious pain to for the end used to remain in control.

Hi, I'm new to the list.
Most of the mails I've seen so far are people whining about systemd.
Is that normal for this list, or have I just joined at the wrong time? I
really don't need to read about systemd on this list.
Thank you,
Keith

Hi,
it's easy to make a new plugin within only four days ...
... if you can use something else. Big thanks to Chris "Airwindows" Johnson.
B.Angr is a multi-dimensional dynamically distorted staggered
multi-bandpass LV2 plugin. But what the hell does this mean? B.Angr
basically consists of four parameter instances of Airwindows XRegion.
XRegion itself is a distorted multi-bandpass filter plugin. B.Angr fades
automatically or manually between the four parameter instances. The
result is a dynamic and heavily distorted sound. See the preview video.

Hi all,
I have made the second preview of Power Station Industrializer v0.2.7
You can download it here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/industrializer/files/
The main new in psindustrializer-0.2.7-pre2 is selectable discretization
rate for both playback and WAV export. It also contains some fixes and
small improvements. Also, at this stage I announce feature freeze, this
means that I won't add new features until 0.2.7 will be released. So I
invite everyone to test this pre-release.
Industrializer generates synthesized percussion sounds using physical
modelling. The range of sounds possible include but is not limited to
cymbal sounds, metallic noises, bubbly sounds, and chimes. After a sound
is rendered, it can be played and then saved to a .WAV file.
Regards,
Yury.
