Download from http://ccrma.stanford.edu/~kjetil/src/ Snd-ls is a distribution of Bill Schottstaedt's sound editor SND. Its target is people that don't know scheme very well, and don't want to spend too much time configuring Snd. It can also serve as a quick introduction to Snd and how it can be set up. The biggest thing about this release of Snd-ls is probably that the rt-player is enabled by default. The rt-player is an alternative player engine for SND that plays soundfiles using the rt-extension and reads data from disk through a buffer. The result is less clicks, and more channels can be played safely at once. Changes 0.9.5.5 -> 0.9.6.2 -------------------------- -Moved the dac size slider into the options menu. -Hide listener on startup. -Removed marks stuff from popup menu. (Incompatible with snd_conffile.scm) -Updated Snd from 8.0/30.3 to 8.0/2.4. Many important fixes, including listener stuff. -Removed playing buttons from pop-up menues. -Added checks for gtk-mnemnomnics so that old key-bindings aren't overwritten. -Many fixes for the rt-player. -Various fixes so that debug printing and warnings/errors are put out to the listener as well as stdout/stderr. -Configured the transform view to show sonograms by default. -Increased standard dac-size from 1024 to 2048. -Added shortcut "l" to turn on/off the listener, and added it to the help menu along with the "c" key for turning on/off controls. -Updated Snd from 7.15 to 8.0. -Enabled rt-player by default. rt-player is an alternative player engine for snd, that plays using the rt-extension and reads data from disk through a ringbuffer. The result is less clicks.

[linux-audio-dev] libsndfile and WAVEX

by Alfons Adriaensen

I've gone through the docs a number of times, but can't find a way to read / write the channelmask and guid in a WAVEFORMAT extensible file. Is it possible ? -- FA Follie! Follie! Delirio vano e' questo!

[linux-audio-dev] realtime low lat and 2.6.16

by Richard Smith

Whats the recommended realtime low lat setup for 2.6.16? All the docs I read seem to be for much older kernels? Does realtime-lsm still work? I've got a m-audio audiophile 24/96 and I want jackd to run without xruns. I tried the rt16 patches for 2.6.16 but my kernel just hangs on boot. -- Richard A. Smith

How about creating the gfx waveform data on the engine and then just send a pointer to the gfx process, which displays the data using the MIT-SHM X extension? PS. Please don't let this inspire you to reimplement Ardour. :-)

[linux-audio-dev] Please help: 16-channel recording w/ LAYLA, ALSA, JACK, ARDOUR

by Lance Blisters

I bought a Layla24 and Cardbus adaptor. Works beatifully with ALSA/JACK/ARDOUR up to 8 channels. However, the soundcard presents the 8 analog channels as device 0 and 8 digital channels as device 1. JACK will only open one device at a time. So in order to record and play back 16 channels with Ardour, I apparently need to create a virtual ALSA device combining the two LAYLA subdevices. Which brings me back to a place I always find myself when working with new sound gear - ALSA LIMBO, a dark claustrophobic space occupied only by unidentified .asoundrc fragments, paved with device anomolies, mined with disinformation bomblets, seen through the funhouse mirrors of fruitless google sessions. Cascades of similar plugin types of indeterminate direction, each encased in the next like a 12-step turducken, translated through an inconsistent mix of multiple (equivalent?) syntaxes, with the smallest deviation producing a cryptic failure. A breadcrumb trail of trials and errors spirals back further than I can see, and the only sounds I can hear over the queasy rumblings building in my stomach, is me repeating to myself that OF COURSE it is possible, I can't be the ONLY person to try to use all channels with JACK, and if I just dig through another 10 pages of search results i'll surely find a .asoundrc which solves the whole thing for me. And then I wake, throat hoarse, sticky with fever sweat, to apply ice to my forehead and plaster to the fresh hole in my wall. And I beg of you, someone, please, for the love of all that is holy, just give me the damn answer so i can get on with my life. And not a "use the multi plugin" answer, because THAT IS NO ANSWER, THAT IS ONLY A TAUNT. An actual, complete .asoundrc which has actually worked in practice, with .ctl, mmap, exclusivity, #channels, etc accounted for. The kind which saves me literal hours of very literal frustration. Thanks in advance, -geoff

[linux-audio-dev] [ot] How do GUI-libs notify the program of changes?

by Julien Claassen

Hi all! I know it's completely OT, but I think there maybe people here, who could help me. Problem is: I'm still on my libcui (character user interface) project and I wonder: I push a button, slide a slider... How does the UI notify the program of this change? How do Engine and UI communicate? Please anyone: HELP ME! Kindest regards Julien -------- Music was my first love and it will be my last (John Miles) ======== FIND MY WEB-PROJECT AT: ======== http://ltsb.sourceforge.net - the Linux TextBased Studio guide

[linux-audio-dev] Measuring playback and capture quality.

by James Courtier-Dutton

Hi, Are there any linux tools out there that will sample the line in, and display a detailed spectrum scope of the detected sound? E.g. http://www.pcavtech.com/soundcards/ct462048/SNR_LB_FS.gif Eventually I wish to send a test signal from one sound card to another and compare the frequency response/noise etc. of the line input of the card.

[linux-audio-dev] Linux Audio Wiki on port 2500 no more

by Hans Fugal

The wiki that was at http://fugal.net:2500 is no longer there. It now has its own subdomain: http://lawiki.fugal.net I would be perfectly happy to entertain a more dedicated domain name, or more appropriate subdomain of an existing domain, if someone wants to foot the bill. If I can figure out how in a short amount of time, I'll put up a redirect at the old address. -- Hans Fugal ; http://hans.fugal.net There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself. -- Johann Sebastian Bach
