[ANN] QjackCtl 0.3.1 (unstable-qt4) is out!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Greetings y'all, Just one week after a no-regrets migration, here comes this second iteration over the Qt4 framework for the JACK Audio Connection Kit "cutie" GUI front-end that everybody loves or at least ought to :) QjackCtl 0.3.1 (unstable-qt4) is out! The main feature on this release, besides for the bug-fixes, is that it's the very first time ever QjackCtl is made available to build and run on all major desktop platforms: X11/Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. Yes you read it right, Windows, and it is thought to behave consistently on all those. One just have to take advantage from the Qt4 open-source edition and license which in fact is the same as QjackCtl's: GPL2. Yes, there's no turning back. QjackCtl is definitely a Qt4 application, this release marking the departure from the old, aged Qt3 code base, despite this one being tagged as "stable-qt3" anyway. The current branch has "unstable-qt4" on its middle name still, but not for long ;) Being a so-called shallowed bug-fix release, the change-log says some thingies that were shoved out, and nothing about the ones that still are creepin': - The current DSP load percentage activity is now also displayed on the system-tray icon tooltip. - An illusive but nasty Connections/Patchbay item tooltip crash bug has been hopefully fixed (Qt >= 4.3). - Now using QSystemTrayIcon class facility if available (Qt4 >= 4.2) making the system-tray option available on most platforms, notably on Windows and Mac OS X (EXPERIMENTAL). - Usage of QProcess class has been severely refactored, now using QProcess::start() instead of QProcess::startDetached(), giving much tighter control over the started jackd(mp) process. Downside is that QjackCtl lost its ability and option to leave the process detached upon quitting the application. Too bad. - A new eye-candy bit has sneaked in: server mode display, that is the RT indicator, now blinks when server/client is started/active. - Combo-box setup history has been corrected on restore, which was discarding the very initial default (factory) contents. - Now that Qt4 is accessible to open-source Windows appplications, there's some experimental stuff sneaking in for jackdmp support on win32 (http://www.grame.fr/~letz/jackdmp.html). - Connections list items were initially sorted in descending order by default. Fixed. Client items are now naturally sorted, again. As usual, the source tarball might be found here: http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net http://sourceforge.net/projects/qjackctl Cheers && Enjoy, -- rncbc aka Rui Nuno Capela rncbc(a)rncbc.org

again [ot] programming c++ problem (functions adresses)

by Julien Claassen

Hi! Sorry to bother again. But I have the following problem I can't solve. I need to wrap some readline-code in my c++-class. Readline has some function-pointers you can set to a function you wrote yourself. So I did. The sinature of my function ALMOST matches that expected by readline, but it complains about the class part of my signature: my function: char** (Midish_rl::*)(const char*, int, int); Readline expects: char8* (*)(const char*, int, int); I tired writing a wrapper function, but for that I need some object, I just tried: char** wrapper(const char *text, int start, int end) { return my_ui.real_function(text,start,end); } The code is divided between a few files, so I couldn't just a a global object 'my_ui', which was known at all times. Does anyone have an idea how to solve it? Note: I don't want to use any external class-libraries, which might perform the task, because of dependencies. Anyway, there are no standard lib, that do that, not that I'm aware of at least.

[ANN] Qsynth 0.3.1 (unstable-qt4) released!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Greetings, So after the great Qt4 migration, which was almost couple of weeks ago already, here comes the so-called shallowed bug-fix release of this "cutie" FluidSynth GUI: Qsynth 0.3.1 (unstable-qt4) has been released! As said, some bug-fixes have popped in and others are still hidden in the closet. Notable changes were: - Now using QSystemTrayIcon class facility if available (Qt4 >= 4.2) making the system-tray option available on most platforms, notably on Windows and Mac OS X (EXPERIMENTAL). - Combo-box setup history has been corrected on restore, which was discarding the very initial default (factory) contents. - One programming error has been corrected, which was affecting the editable preset combo-boxes usability. - Soundfont context menu is now available again even when the setup dialog soundfont list is empty. - About form link is now browseable externally. - Updated README-OSX (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat again). Grab it while it's hot: http://qsynth.sourceforge.net http://sourceforge.net/projects/qsynth Enjoy && Cheers, -- rncbc aka Rui Nuno Capela rncbc(a)rncbc.org

2.6.20 scheduler and buffer underruns

by Darren Gibbs

We're doing an ARM-based embedded device, which right now is running vanilla 2.6.20. For the sake of simplicity we wrote an OSS driver that's simply double-buffering and writing to the DAC via I2S. We have a buffer underrun problem that is directly proportional to CPU load... no glitches when simply cat-ing a file to /dev/dsp, but lots of glitches when other things are happening on the system. Can anyone suggest tools/techniques/patches for improving the situation? Use an alternative scheduler? Figure out which driver might be turning interrupts off for too long? We're using 20ms buffers which seems pretty generous. I know this is a bit of a noob question, but any advice or pointers to info much appreciated. darren

{OT} kind of some obscure c++-error

by Julien Claassen

Hi everyone! This is not directly linux-audio, but still, I think here are some programmers, who know c++ quite well, bettern than me at least. I wrote some code, I can provide it if necessary and when I compiled it, I finally got this error(s), which I don't understand: In file included from /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../include/c++/ 4.1.2/ios:47, from /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../include/c++/ 4.1.2/istream:44, from /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../include/c++/ 4.1.2/fstream:44, from /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../include/c++/ 4.1.2/ext/stdio_filebuf.h:39, from rm_midish_rl.cpp:13: /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../include/c++/4.1.2/bits/localefwd.h :90:35: error: macro "isxdigit" passed 2 arguments, but takes just 1 In file included from /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../include/c++/ 4.1.2/bits/basic_ios.h:44, from /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../include/c++/ 4.1.2/ios:50, from /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../include/c++/ 4.1.2/istream:44, from /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../include/c++/ 4.1.2/fstream:44, from /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../include/c++/ 4.1.2/ext/stdio_filebuf.h:39, from rm_midish_rl.cpp:13: /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../include/c++/4.1.2/bits/locale_face ts.h:4550:45: error: macro "isxdigit" passed 2 arguments, but takes just 1 /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../include/c++/4.1.2/bits/localefwd.h :90: error: 'std::isxdigit' declared as an 'inline' variable /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../include/c++/4.1.2/bits/localefwd.h :90: error: template declaration of 'bool std::isxdigit' /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../include/c++/4.1.2/bits/locale_face I use g++-4.1.2 on debian etch stable.

I'm not sure wether this is helpful info, but I can't imagine, where this comes from, I don't expect, that the system-libraries are that buggy. :-) Can anyone help me?

[ANN] New AlsaPlayer releases

by Dominique Michel

AlsaPlayer license is changed to GPL-v3. In consequence, all the AlsaPlayer related packages are updated. AlsaPlayer is a new type of PCM player. It is heavily multi-threaded and tries to excercise the ALSA library and driver quite a bit. It has some very interesting features unique to Linux/Unix players. http://www.alsaplayer.org http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=249 ##################################### AlsaPlayer-0.99.80-rc2 is the new GTK2 release of this versatile audio player. A lot of debugging and improvements has been made on the GTK2 interface (and under the surface too). The GTK1 interface was removed in the process. GTK2 is now fully internationalized and a few languages are provided. Extended header support in mp3 file is added, so the console will not complain anymore about this, and the user's experience is improved. Every user is encouraged to upgrade AlsaPlayer and help with development, bug reports, feature requests, translations... We need your help with a few things: * Bug reports * Feature requests * Artwork contributions * Translation for more languages and improvement of the existing ones. ************************************* FftSope-1.0.6 FftScope is a nice visualization plugin for AlsaPlayer. It is now under GPL-v3 and the GTK1 interface is removed from the package. The GTK2 interface provide the same level of functionality as before. ********************************* python-alsaplayer-0.3.1 These are python bindings for the AlsaPlayer library. The intent is to provide a set of bindings that closely mirror the C library, leaving more complex functionality for purely python modules. This release update the license to GPL-v3 or later. ************************************ This is the initial release of this midi input plugin for alsaplayer. It is derived from Tuukka Toivonen's TiMidity and reflects the work of a number of other people (see AUTHORS). Compile and install it in alsaplayer's input/ plugin directory, install a soundfont, then you can play midi files with alsaplayer. #################################### I hope you will enjoy those releases and AlsaPlayer's very nice GTK2 interface! -- Dominique Michel -- N.B.: Tous les emails que je reçois sont filtrés par spamassassin avant de me parvenir.

Windows deprecated as development platform ;-)

by David García Garzón

This could be interesting for most of you who develop multiplatform audio applications as we, at CLAM, do. We got crosscompiled binaries from Linux to Windows using mingw for linux, including a lot of third party libraries such as portaudio, asio, libsndfile, liboggvorbis, pthreads, fftw3, libmad, id3lib, XercesC, libxml++... we build from linux even NSIS installer for CLAM applications. We are using a nice combination of mingw and wine. You can get more info here: http://vokicodder.blogspot.com/2007/07/deprecating-windows-as-development.h… Regards. David Garcia.

While it's a nice player, it has some serious audio quality issues. - Resampling 44.1 -> 48 kHz (for jack) sounds horrible... - The sndfile input plugin reduces everything to 16 bits. This is really absurd, even if your files and your sound card are 24 bit you only get 16. Floating point wav files apparently aren't read at all (they load but produce silence when played). All of this could be solved by using a good resampler lib, and making the internal format floating point rather than short. -- FA Follie! Follie! Delirio vano è questo !

? jack/qjackctl XRUN info

by Eliot Blennerhassett

Greetings, what does it mean when I get messages like this in the qjackctl window? (or where should I look to find out) 14:21:16.546 XRUN callback (2 skipped). 14:21:23.026 XRUN callback (908). 14:21:24.594 XRUN callback (1 skipped). 14:21:27.767 XRUN callback (910). 14:21:28.617 XRUN callback (7 skipped). 14:21:30.632 XRUN callback (7 skipped). AFAIK I am not getting actual xruns - I don't get any message like this, and my audio sounds OK. **** alsa_pcm: xrun of at least 2721.798 msecs The XRUN callbacks only happen when I use an alsa multi device (2 stereo substreams linked and synched together), not when I use a single stereo substream. thanks Eliot
