[linux-audio-dev] digigram mixart cards in smp machine

by Eric Dantan Rzewnicki

I'm trying to get a digigram mixart8 aes/ebu working in a dual xeon box. A RME digi96 card works fine in the same box and the digigram works fine in a different uni-processor box. I don't know if it's smp related or just the box or what. booting with nosmp does not help. The symptom is that aplay fails with EINVAL when trying to open /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p (or any other device on the card). jackd fails similarly when trying to open the corresponding capture device. Elrond:~# aplay /var/snd/999999_000.wav aplay: main:533: audio open error: Invalid argument The firmware is loaded. aplay works on the same box with the RME card. This is debian sarge with 2.6.13 (also tried 2.6.14) and alsa 1.0.9.

[linux-audio-dev] jack and setuid

by conrad berhörster

Hello Lists, I don't know, where ich can fix my little problem. Maybe i 've missed some explanations and/or haven't read my mails good enough. anyway, i try to install a linuxbox for audio on slackware i have installed slackware and patching the kernel 2.6.14 vanilla with patch-2.6.14-rt2. Then i installed the set_rtlimits1.1.0 software, because Slackware has no PAM. First. this must be all for audio in realtime , is this right?? then i have to set the setuid. aus root i have done bash-3.00$ su Password: bash-3.00# chmod ugo+s /usr/local/bin/jackd bash-3.00# exit bash-3.00$ ls -la /usr/local/bin/jackd -rwsr-sr-x 1 root root 206476 2005-11-01 15:23 /usr/local/bin/jackd bash-3.00$ whoami soundroom bash-3.00$ jackd -dalsa& [1] 3202 bash-3.00$ jackd 0.100.0 Copyright 2001-2005 Paul Davis and others. jackd comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; see the file COPYING for details JACK compiled with System V SHM support. loading driver .. creating alsa driver ... hw:0|hw:0|1024|2|48000|0|0|nomon|swmeter|-|32bit control device hw:0 configuring for 48000Hz, period = 1024 frames, buffer = 2 periods nperiods = 2 for capture nperiods = 2 for playback bash-3.00$ ps -aux [..] root 3202 0.0 0.4 10472 2380 pts/1 S 12:03 0:00 jackd -dalsa root 3203 0.0 0.4 10472 2380 pts/1 R 12:03 0:00 jackd -dalsa root 3204 0.0 0.4 10472 2380 pts/1 S 12:03 0:00 jackd -dalsa root 3205 0.0 0.4 10472 2380 pts/1 S 12:03 0:00 jackd -dalsa root 3206 0.2 0.4 10472 2380 pts/1 S 12:03 0:00 jackd -dalsa [..] bash-3.00$ jack_lsp JACK server not running why i can't use jack an normal user? what have i missed? why there are 5 processes of jack? is this a secure way? do i need every application as suid?

[linux-audio-dev] Re: Radio receiver.

by Juhana Sadeharju

How about a software which can combine the outputs coming from two receivers tuned to the same station? Typically with short-wave receivers (tuned to distant radio station) there are problems. With two or more receivers (perhaps located at different cities and connected via Internet!) the problems can be reduced and the station signal restored. This kind of signal restoration must be known already in other contexts. Strange, I recently read a recent (2000+) paper. They praised (like having a patent on them) two innovations: (1) an audio editor could handle non-audio signals, e.g., RF signal, ultrasound, etc., and (2) the above kind of receiver combination. The innovation (1) was discussed at 1997/98 here or elsewhere, and I invented the innovation (2) at 1993.

[linux-audio-dev] Linux Audio Conference #4 (LAC2006): Call for Papers/Music etc

by Frank Neumann

Dear all, this should have come one month earlier, but such is life..anyway: This mail is to announce the calls for papers/music/etc for the 4th International Linux Audio Conference (LAC2006). See http://lac.zkm.de/2006 for more information. LAC2006 will take place 27-30 April 2006, again at the ZKM | Institute for Music and Acoustics in Karlsruhe, Germany. We have tried to simplify things a little bit since LAC2005. There are calls for papers, demos, workshops, and music. The former category BOFS has been merged with the workshops. There is no call for project notes anymore; instead we have the call for demos now. The call for posters has been discarded. We hope everybody agrees that this is an improvement and we are looking forward to many interesting submissions for LAC2006! Please feel free to forward this email to anybody who is interested. Thank you for reading! Frank Neumann and Goetz Dipper *********************************************************************** Call for Papers We invite submissions of papers addressing all areas of audio processing based on Linux and open source software. Papers can focus on technical, artistic or scientific issues and can target developers or users. This includes (but is not limited to) the following categories: * Computer Music * Music Production * Instruments * Drivers and Sound Architecture * Audio Distributions * Generic (Usage, Documentation etc.) The conference is held in english, so all papers and presentations will have to be done in english, too. Length of a paper is 4-8 pages. Papers have to include an abstract (50-100 words). The abstract will be published separately on the conference website once the paper has been accepted. Also, papers should include up to 5 keywords. In general talks should take 20-30 minutes followed by 5 minutes discussion. Please notify us if you need a special technical setup. The technical standard setup will be: * microphone (head set) * projector with XVGA input (resolution 1024x768) * stereo speaker setup with mini jack input If you are not able to bring your laptop along with you, please notify us in advance. How to submit * File format is PDF, formatted for A4 paper. Make use of the templates for paper formatting available at: http://lac.zkm.de/2006/downloads.shtml * See our check list to ensure that you do not forget to enclose all necessary information: http://lac.zkm.de/2006/submission_instructions.shtml * Send your paper and all necessary information by 8 Jan 2006 via email to this address: lac2006 at zkm dot de * You will be notified by 19 Feb 2006 whether your paper has been accepted. The reviewers may ask you to modify your paper in order to be accepted. The deadline for the final version is March 12, 2006. Important Dates 08 Jan 2006: Paper submission deadline 19 Feb 2006: Notification of acceptance 12 Mar 2006: Final version deadline 27 - 30 Apr 2006: Conference *********************************************************************** Call for Demos This is the only new category of LAC2006. You do not need to write a whole paper, but rather a short abstract only (50-100 words). This category is mainly thought for software demos. Be aware though that in case of too many submissions papers take priority over demos. See section "Call for Papers" for info on the duration of talks and the technical setup. How to submit * See our check list to ensure that you do not forget to enclose all necessary information: http://lac.zkm.de/2006/submission_instructions.shtml * Send your abstract and all necessary information by 8 Jan 2006 via email to this address: lac2006 at zkm dot de * You will be notified by 19 Feb 2006 whether your submission has been accepted. Deadline for submissions is 08 Jan 2006. *********************************************************************** Call for Workshops With respect to their content workshops do not differ from talks: Workshops can have technical focus as well as artistic or scientific focus. Workshops can be targeted to developers as well as users. See section "Call for Papers" for more info on this. The shape of the workshop is completely up to you. E.g. it can be tutorial-like ("how to write an ALSA driver/ a jack application/ a LADSPA plugin/ etc.") or it can be BOFS-like (e.g. a meeting of like-minded users and/or developers to exchange experience and knowledge about a specific topic), or it can be anything in between. Workshops can take place in seminar rooms or in a public space like the ZKM cafe. Depending on the location, attendance might be limited to ca 10 people. There is no deadline for submitting workshops. However, we strongly encourage you to submit early. It will be more likely to get a free slot and it will be easier for attendants to know about the workshop if it is published on the conference website. If you expect the attendants to prepare their laptops for your workshop (e.g. by installing some software) or if there are other requirements, please note so in your abstract. How to submit * See our check list to ensure that you do not forget to enclose all necessary information. http://lac.zkm.de/2006/submission_instructions.shtml * Send an abstract (ca. 50-100 words) and all necessary information via email to this address: lac2006 at zkm dot de * The abstract will be published on the conference website once the workshop has been accepted (not before 27 Feb 2006 though). *********************************************************************** Call for Music There will be some concerts during the conference. We are looking for music that has been produced completely or mostly under Linux and/or with open source software: * "Serious" compositions, to be played in a concert-like context * Electronica, Chill-Out, Ambient etc., to be played in a less formal, "party-like" context. Additionally you are welcome to give a talk about your piece. We encourage you especially to show how you made the piece using open source software. Please send a short abstract (ca. 50-100 words) if you want to give a talk. If you want to participate, send your composition(s) to this address: LAC2006 - Call for Music ZKM | Institut fuer Musik und Akustik Lorenzstr. 19 D-76135 Karlsruhe Germany Make use of one of the following media formats: * Media: Audio-CD, DVD or CD-ROM * File formats: aiff or wav * Channels: mono, stereo or multi-channel * Samplerate: 44.1, 48, or 96 kHz * Resolution: 16 or 24 bit Include the following items with your submission (in English): * Requirements (speaker setup, instruments etc.) * A filled-out and signed printout of the form available here: http://lac.zkm.de/2006/downloads.shtml For the printed programme and to be published online and on the conference CD, in continuous text (no table or list please): * A short commentary on the composition(s) (each ca. 150 words) * A short Curriculum Vitae (ca. 100 words) Deadline for submissions is 08 Jan 2006. A jury will select the compositions that will be performed/played. Furthermore, the jury will give out three prices to participants to contribute to their travel expenses. Besides artistic criteria and technical reasons, these criteria apply for the selection: * Tape pieces or pieces which are performed by the composer herself will generally have more chances to get included. * If we get more pieces than we can include in the programme, composers who are attending the conference are preferred. Terms and conditions for participation can be found in the form mentioned above. This form includes among other things: * I will receive no fees whether my composition is played or not. * GEMA fees (in case of performance) will be paid by ZKM. * The material I send to ZKM will not be returned. Additionally to this Call for Music, there will be an open stage called "Plug & Chill - The Linux Jam Night" at Saturday night (29 Apr 2006), where attendents of the conference are invited to perform their pieces in a less "official" context. There is no deadline for this, so people can decide during the conference if they want to participate. However if you already know that you want to participate do not hesitate to inform us. Send us an email to lac2006 at zkm dot de and include a description of your equipment and a short characterisation of your music (keywords only). During the conference it is possible to register at the info desk. Note that there is a time limit for "Plug & Chill". If we have received too many registrations already you might not get a slot. Contributions to "Plug & Chill" should not exceed 10 min. There will be a room at ZKM where people can meet during the conference and rehearse for "Plug & Chill". ***********************************************************************

[linux-audio-dev] how to mix various s/pdif sources?

by oliver oli

hello, i would like to mix several (up to six) s/pdif sources in the digital domain. the problem is, that every source has its own clock and possibly different sample rate. is there any software that can open several non-synchronized sound cards at the same time? iirc there was a patch for jackd for drift compensation, but i cannot find it in anymore and i'm also not sure if that would help. Minidisc 44100.17 ==S/PDIF==> Sound Card 1 ==> Audio App \ \ Laptop 48000.23 ==S/PDIF==> Sound Card 2 ==> Audio App --> D/A (96khz) / DAT 48000.09 ==S/PDIF==> Sound Card 3 ==> Audio App /

[linux-audio-dev] fst-1.6 doesn't compile with wine 0.9

by Uwe Koloska

Hello, just tried to update my installation of fst-1.6 to the newest (now beta!) wine. But there are several problems: the options to winebuild have changed and so in fst/Makefile the build-command must be changed: - the target must be renamed to "$(fst_exe_MODULE).spec.o:" cause winebuild creates an assembler file that can't be processed by the implicit rule ".c.o:" -- but the new winebuild can create the ".o" file directly. - "the executable must be named via the -F option" -- to get rid of this winebuild error message the option '-F' must be inserted just before $(fst_exe_MODULE) With this modifications the build creates the libfst.so successfully but when linking fstconfig with libfst there are two missing symbols: ./libfst.so: undefined reference to `__wine_spec_exe_entry' ./libfst.so: undefined reference to `__wine_spec_init_ctor' Unfortunately the wine documentation is not updated to this new behaviour and I was not able to figure out what to do. When building the intermediate assembler source (just undo the extension change for the .spec.o) and looking at it, the two symbols are destination marker: The first is just an address in an internal table and the second is the target of a jump command. I can't find any suggestions what to additionally link to libfst to satisfy this unresolved references ... Is there an updated version of libfst? Or someone with more wine knowledge, who can solve this problems? By further investigation I found a workaround that builds libfst but at least ardour gives a "memory access fault" (Speicherzugriffsfehler): Unpack the distribution cp fst/libfst.spec.c fst/libfst.spec.c_backup ./configure make cp fst/libfst.spec.c_backup fst/libfst.spec.c This uses the prebuilt libfst.spec.c but maybe this doesn't match the current wine version ... I have build ardour with "VST=1" and it only starts without "memory access fault" when giving the option "-V" Thank you Uwe Koloska

[linux-audio-dev] jack and S24_3BE

by Richard Smith

Apparently my soundcard selecting skills are poor. I thought that a USB card would be nice so that I could use it on different machines. The M-Audio Audiophile USB had good specs and usb audio was supposed to work ok. After much googleing I seem to have the device recording 24/96k audio but its only with arecord. Trying to start jack (V 0.99) it whines that my format is not supported. And if I choose plughw I get XRUNS. How much work will it be to get jack to work with S24_3BE? -- Richard A. Smith
