Hi Nedko, A while ago I proposed merging documentation efforts of the community, spearheaded by Dave's now unfortunately cancelled 2nd edition of his venerable book. Linuxaudio.org is already trying to head in this direction and we are currently in the process of assembling a team to utilize presently empty sub-domain docs.linuxaudio.org which ought to be perfect for this purpose (rather than hijacking lau faq site which has its own specific purpose). One possible scenario (which FWIW I very much favor) is to have a Wiki page that would sum up all of the projects listed on Dave's site as well as those that are also relevant but have not yet made it there. Using a similar template format we should provide a continuously updated consolidated resource for all Linux audio users, and more importantly all Linux distributions to reference. As such, we are also hoping to attract various distros to contribute to the same documentation project. So far goto10 guys (dyne creators) have expressed interest in the idea...

[linux-audio-dev] Laptop mic-input sound quality.

by James Courtier-Dutton

Hi, I have not yet found a laptop with good misc-in sound quality. Do any exist? It is a pain to have to use PCMCIA cards or USB devices. James

[linux-audio-dev] Listserve back up

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

Curiously, shortly following the changing of the network card adapter which brought the consortium Web server back up, the consortium lists are now back as well. It appears that there is some kind of "umbilical cord" :-P that my mental radar failed to notice between the two and therefore the listserve has been for some reason bogged down due to network issues we've been experiencing on the Web server (which is a rather curious thing since the Web server has mail service disabled... go figure!). Well, I am glad that got resolved, sort of :-) Best wishes, Ivica Ico Bukvic, D.M.A. Composition, Music Technology, CCTAD, and CHCI Virginia Tech Dept. of Music - 0240 Blacksburg, VA 24061 (540) 231-1137 (540) 231-5034 (fax) ico(a)vt.edu http://www.music.vt.edu/people/faculty/bukvic/

[linux-audio-dev] Consortium "Made in Linux" cover idea

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

Apologies for the cross-posting -- the consortium listserv that is hosted by Agnula server continues to refuse forwarding e-mail to its members... Apropos CD covers for the vol.1, how about taking the image from the http://lau.linuxaudio.org/faq/ ? IMHO it best portrays the idea of "Tux Power" without even having to explicitly state the subtitle. So, we could have the subtitle on the side and the back but perhaps not on the front side of the cover? Or if we do have it on the front, perhaps making it intentional small and inconspicuous?

[linux-audio-dev] RE: [linux-audio-user] where are the "made in linux "logo's now ?

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

See: http://lists.agnula.org/pipermail/consortium/2006-November/000781.html BTW, anyone has any idea why the listserv is not forwarding posts to its membership, yet it still adds new posts to the archive without any problems? I checked the admin settings for the listserv and there is nothing that would suggest any problems. Alas, I do not have ssh access to the listserv server so I am unable to dig though the logs... Very bizarre week to say the least. First the listserv breaks, and now the linuxaudio.org server is experiencing problems as well...

[linux-audio-dev] Linuxaudio.org site problems

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

Just to let everyone know, we are experiencing some problems with the Linuxaudio.org server. As a result, we will have a downtime over the weekend and possibly a good portion of Monday. My sincere apologies if this unfortunate development has caused you any inconvenience. Your patience and understanding in this matter is most appreciated! Should you happen to have any additional questions and/or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

[linux-audio-dev] Website moving - please update your links

by Fons Adriaensen

Hello all, Since I'm preparing to move abroad, I've transferred my website to a host that's independent of my local ISP. The new site is www.kokkinizita.net/linuxaudio 'Kokkini Zita' means 'red zeta' - the Greek letter, and all the 'i' are pronounced as English 'ee', not 'y'. It's also my 'project name' at the Linux Audio Consortium. In time you will also see the red zeta appear in the GUI of any new software. The main page has been restyled a bit, and the rest will follow as I have time. Please let me know if you have any problems with the new layout and colors. The old site will remain on-line for some months, but any new stuff and updates will go to the new one only. My new e-mail address will be fons-at-kokkinizita.net, but please don't use that until you see it appear on the lists. Enjoy ! -- FA Lascia la spina, cogli la rosa.

by Joern Nettingsmeier

hi everyone! i'm very happy to announce that marc-olivier barre will be maintaining the linux-audio-* lists from now on. let me take this opportunity to ask for a few more volunteers to moderate linux-audio-announce. get this: for years, brilliant minds like ingo molnar, robert love and lee revellhave been toiling with the kernel for a few measly microseconds gain - as a linux-audio-announce moderator, you can cut latencies by hours if not days. how is that for a claim to fame? please get in touch with marc-olivier. it's been a pleasure to participate in this linux audio community for all those years, and i have profited immensely from the great work done here! thanks everyone, and i hope to see you around at LAC 2007! best wishes, jörn -- jörn nettingsmeier home://germany/45128 essen/lortzingstr. 11/ http://spunk.dnsalias.org phone://+49/201/491621 if you are a free (as in "free speech") software developer and you happen to be travelling near my home, drop me a line and come round for a free (as in "free beer") beer. :-D

Many products already, plenty of speed, almost robust enough. >1/8 millisecond isoch cycle times; each cycle can contain packets from > many senders; each packet can contain lots of notes. More robust IMO than the din connectors now used for midi interconnects, however the cabling itself can't help but be more fragile when subjected to the rigors of a jam session with bodies walking on them all night. And that has to be a consideration else the first users will get discouraged at the high cable failure rates and revert, particularly if they have a tin ear and can't hear what to many of us would be an extremely obvious improvement. But I like that idea, a lot. Maybe some enterprising LAD people could get together and spec something like a midi interface running over firewire, complete with the repeaters so it can be daisy-chained just like midi can be, and hopefully release it into the PD as a new midi-2 interface standard. And design it such that it never, ever gets into the snails trail of the 31,250 baud interface it uses today. -- Cheers, Gene
