What I'm trying to do: control the playing of flac files from Python, and
specifically be able to start playback at some arbitraty point in the file.
I'm writing a music player in Python. It's aims differ from the usual
music player as this being used to manage the music of an online radio
show.
The music source files are FLAC. Sometimes I need to be able to start
playing the file from, say, 5 seconds in (could be any time). I'm
currently using the Python bindings of vlc to manage the playing, but it's
very inexact when trying to start at a specific time spot.
Has anyone had success in playing flac files via Python, and been able to
start playback at some arbitrary point?

Hi! I am the developer of Geonkick synth. In the last period I was not able
to work on this project partly because of some personal issues, and also I
have somehow exhausted the ideas which will make a difference, and which
will not require radical changes in the design. Due to this if someone is
interested in continuing the development, I can move the rights on the
project or move under the umbrella of the projects like DISTRHO (if there
is any interest), thus, becoming a community developed project. I could
just accept contributions but I don't think I'll be able to have time to
manage this. Currently I have completely integrated the Redkite GUI into
Geonkick code. The VST3 was disabled and not kept up with the development,
but there are not many required changes to get it back if someone wants
this. Currently I am working slowly on another project, a sampler player
that wants to use liquidsfz API as the engine with the idea to offer seasly
to use other APIs. I don't know when I'll be able to release the first
version for now.

Dear linux audio developers,
I would like to bring the effort of Andrea Bondavalli to your attention,
who develops an "AES67-linux-daemon".
https://github.com/bondagit/aes67-linux-daemon
This builds on the ALSA RAVENNA/AES67 Driver released by merging tchnologies
https://bitbucket.org/MergingTechnologies/ravenna-alsa-lkm/src/master/
There was not much activity on mergings repository and mailing list
concerning the driver and butler after the initial release, and some
elements still seemed to be missing or were kept closed source.
Now thanks to A. Bondavallis initiative a fully open source
implementation of AES67 on linux, which opens up possibilities for
audio-networking with lots of professional grade audio hardware devices
and computers running different OS seems to be very close.
Unfortunately the developer does not seem to be an active user of the
jack ecosystem, nor ardour or other typical software for
audio-production on linux.
Though with basic alsa tools the AES67-daemon already seems to work
flawlessly, I had no success starting jack or ardour on top of it.
There was some discussion on this topic in the following thread, but to
my impression more research into compatibility with jack, ardour etc.
would be necessary.
https://github.com/bondagit/aes67-linux-daemon/issues/38
Sadly I have not the programming skills to contribute to development
directly, but I would be glad to help with testing different
configurations, already running an AES67 network including a merging
hapi, a dante device with AES67 capability and windows machines running
MAD (merging audio device), the ravenna network manager ANEMAN and Dante
Controller. I would really like to expand this setup to my main linux
DAW and make it the centerpiece of the audio network.
Kind regards

Jack_showtime man page doesn't mention any options available and
the problem I have is the frequency of the lines it outputs.
Over 12,000 lines per second according to a little Perl script.
($ jack_showtime | perl -w line-counter.pl)
I can get to see relevant lines in my program, but it seems
to need all of this (j_s is the jack_showtime QProcess):
j_s->readAll(); // otherwise old news
waitAbit(20); // otherwise blank line
QString dirout = j_s->readLine(); // "
dirout = j_s->readLine(); // A recent relevant line
ui->statusbar->showMessage(dirout, 0); // show it.
Has to be a better way. A jack_showtime option to limit its
verbosity to n lines per second, would be the nicest, if anyone
is around that way, but for now; maybe a script could tame it?
Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks again, John.
Hey hey,
I just released wavetral, a tool to convert between single cycle waveforms and
harmonic spectra in different formats. It supports audiofiles, plaintext
representations (one value per line), Waldorf Microwave II/XT wave dumps. It
can furthermore read Csound ftables as stored by ftsave and ftsavek and it can
write a Yoshimi script, which can be run loccally (runlocal) in the wave
context of the AddSynth voices and PadSynth.
Converting between waveforms means resampling a waveform and converting
between harmonics allows to decrease harmonics or fill higher harmonics with
0s to meet certain requirements.
You can clone the git repo here:
git clone https://github.com/jeanette-c/wavetral.git
Stranglely, when I tried I wasn't on the master branch, so I had to do
cd wavetral
git checkout master
git pull
Maybe it's just my git setup.
Best wishes,
Jeanette

Hey hey,
what is the easiest way to find libfftw3 with cmake? I've seen a few
find_package scripts, but they don't appear to work. The source compiles, but
gets linking problems.
I've seen something in Yoshimi using pkg_check_modules but I don't completely
understand the following mechanism nor am I completely sure which module to
include to get that function.
Could someone please help?
Best wishes,
Jeanette

Hi all,
After a long period of testing, having no negative feedback I decided to
issue the SoundTracker 1.0.2 release. Comparing to the last pre-release,
1.0.2-pre2, this is only the bugfixing release with few small
improvements only. But some critical bugs are closed included that
causing crash sometimes after manipulations with instruments. Here are
main features of the 1.0.2 release comparing to 1.0.1:
* Almost all user actions are logged and can be undone/redone;
* Sample editor has a new compact and comprehensive design;
* PulseAudio output driver is created.
You can find more new features in NEWS file.
ST-1.0.2 can be downloaded here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/soundtracker/files/latest/download
Any feedback is welcome in SoundTracker mailing list:
soundtracker-discuss(a)lists.sourceforge.net
For those who didn't hear about the SoundTracker before: this program is
a score music editor and sequencer with tablature-like notation (such
kind of editors called as "trackers" and originating from the
demo-scene) with some facilities for editing samples and instruments.
Regards,
Yury.
