Hi,
as the owner of a firewire audio card (Motu 828mkII) I was disappointed when
trying to use it under linux. Asking Motu to provide tech docs and/or linux
drivers is useless: "We will possibly release linux drivers in the future,
but we never release any kind of technical documentation."
Is there any effort to join forces for putting pressure on the manufacturers
yet? I am willing to create an address list ordered by audio card
manufacturer/model to make the manufacturers realize there is a need for
linux support.
Any comments?

Hello,
I decided to give kernel 2.6.10 a try, so I installed it in combination
with Con Kolivas system system responsiveness patch. But when I try to
run the latencytest (0.5.5), I run into the following problem:
$ modprobe latency-test
WARNING: Error inserting rtc (/lib/modules/2.6.10-ck2-ck2-pentium4/kernel/drivers/char/rtc.ko): No such device
FATAL: Error inserting latency_test (/lib/modules/2.6.10-ck2-ck2-pentium4/misc/latency-test.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
$ dmesg
latency_test: Unknown symbol rtc_register
latency_test: Unknown symbol rtc_unregister
latency_test: Unknown symbol rtc_control
Any suggestion?

At first I agreed that the splitter was the solution, and I wrote one,
only to find one already exists in the SWH package. The argument is
that this is clumsy and not an optimal solution. After hearing this
argument, it does seem like a cleaner, faster solution to have available
plugins in various connection formats instead of building the
connections from lego's. I am in no way an authority on this though, so
I am going to forward this to LAD, as I think it pertains to all the
plugin projects. There was recently a thread on ardour-dev regarding
connections and plugin counts that is probably going to start all over
again, but discussions are fun anyway, arent they? :)

New to the group. Please forgive any unintended breaches of protocol.
I just built a house and had it prewired for stereo speaker pairs in 6
rooms / zones in addition to cat5 in each zone. My intention was to
purchase a
multisource / multizone audio system from a high end integrator. After
reviewing several options - Crestron and Niles primarily - I ended the
review dismayed
with the cost and overall approach of the "main stream" solution providers.
I'm a UNIX guy going back to 1983 - Altos8600 running a 5Mhz Intel 8086
with 512Kb RAM, 20Mb 8" Winchester hard drive and Microsoft's version of
Xenix.
I'm wondering if the present state of the Intel/AMD powered PC with
Linux is robust enough to control multiple sources (4, 6 or 8) like
digital cable box,
directv receiver, XM radio, CD player(s), etc. and route the output to
multiple zones/rooms (4, 6 or 8) in an effective and cost efficient manner.
The Crestron approach would cost me around $10K - so I've got some money
to invest on development if necessary.
Once again, my apologies if I've breached any list/group protocol with
this post.
Hi all,
just a short reminder: The deadline for paper, music etc. submission for the
3rd Linux Audio Conference (LAC, April 21st-24, 2005) is coming closer -
if you plan to hand in a paper, project note, composition, workshop topic
etc, be sure to send it off until
January 10th, 2005
Believe it or not, we have a tight time plan for the remaining time til
the conference, and we need that time for preparations - so we are not going
to accept material that gets sent in too late!
For more information, please see the web page at http://www.zkm.de/lac
Thanks,
The LAC05 organization team:
Goetz Dipper (ZKM)
Matthias Nagorni
Frank Neumann
PS: And please do not confuse this with the "LCA" that Conrad Parker is
organizing, also in April, however not in Germany, but on the other side
of the globe! :-)
CERES
*****
"Ceres is a simple program for displaying sonograms and for sound effects
in the frequency domain."
Except that its not that simple anymore...
0.40 -> 0.41
-------------
-Fixed a (horrible) bug that caused ceres to crash on newer linux
distributions.
-Simplified the install process a lot. pygtk1, libglade and sndlib
is now included in the distribution and is/can be installed
automatically if needed.
-Connect to jack-server right after starting up ceres, not right
before playing for the first time.
http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/
SND-LS
******
Snd-ls is a distribution of the 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.
0.9.1.2 -> 0.9.1.5:
-------------------
-Made the apply-button always apply to selection if there is a selection.
-Removed some options from the edit-menu that interfered with the way
snd_conffile works.
-Made the insert-option in the edit-menu insert monofiles into the
currently selected channel.
-Added libxt-dev to the list of required packages. (Thanks to robin)
-Made mono-files play in both left and right channel when using Jack.
-Short fix for the nodeline-class.

:: WHAT IS DYNE:BOLIC ?
Dyne:bolic GNU/Linux is a live bootable cd, containing a whole
operating system that works straight from boot, without the need to
install or change anything on the hard disk.

Advanced features include: a complete environment with the most advanced
multimedia applications available on GNU/Linux, automatic clustering joining
the CPU power between any other dyne:bolic on the local network, capability
to work well on old PC (Pentium1 64Mb) and even XBOX game consoles, support
to save and encrypt personal data and settings on a usb key.
Dyne:bolic is shaped on the needs of media activists and artists to

Hey all,
We are looking for some portable digital recording devices with the
following criteria:
- very small
- durable
- near $100 ($100-150)
- usb compatible
- linux + windows friendly
- mic-in with a reasonable signal-to-noise ratio
- descent quality recordings
- battery powered
We intend to distribute about 10 - 20 of these units to radio
journalists in Mali, whom will use these devices to collect material for
their programs which they can then edit in Audacity and broadcast on the
air.
We are looking at devices such as the iRiver 190T
Any one have any experience with such devices, in particular using them
with linux?

Happy new year 2005 to all LA fellows !
Recently I have contacted a manufacturer (WaveIdea) to help them adapting
their hardware (a great midi Interface unit
http://www.waveidea.com/en/products/bitstream_3x/) on Linux and they are
very opened to collaborate with the community.
They are developping with the cross platform libraries WXWidget and
Portmidi, libraries used for example by "Audacity". they have two softs.
- a proprieritary soft : the firmware upgrader, I have compiled it on
Linux and it looks like it will work very well on this platform.
- a "future" open source soft (I succeed in convincing them to make it
open source) that has not been developped completely. It is the
configuration tool of the unit. The developpment should consist in :
- linking the UI action to the low level functions that should
send/receive Sysex between the soft and the unit.
- Improve the UI itself.
Anyone interested to help finishing this open source soft is welcome, just
contact me.
