IBM has already stated that if anyone goes after Linux with a patent issue

An end user of a copyrighted/patented product is not liable for infringement
suits *unless* the end user distributes the copyrighted/patented product in
violation of the copyright/patent. If you just buy a product from a vendor and
use it you aren't liable for infringement. You didn't infringe the
copyright/patent, the vendor did. At any rate SCO is about to get its ass handed
to it by DC ;-)

FYI, i spotted the first announcement of this library on freshmeat today
aubio is a library for audio labelling. Features include onset
detection (the complex task of labelling the beginning of notes and
other sound events), silence detection (an easier but very useful task)
and pitch detection (the estimation of the fundamental frequency of the
sound).
The aim is to add these automatic labelling features to other audio
softwares. Functions can be used offline in sound editors and software
samplers, or online in audio effects and virtual instruments.

i think that Paul Brossier is not in this list...

Hi,
1. Can anybody explain me (I think, Fons Adriaensen can :-) the
JAAA "Bandw" parameter meaning?
2. When Bandw parameter is rather small, I see two spectrums - main (blue)
and, below the first, - the second one (gray). What is the last spectre spectrum
meaning?

I'm a bit puzzled with this one thing about low latency and jack: real
time bits can't do IO, but don't you get latency between say me
pressing some button and sound doing click? there's no garanty the not
realtime part of the application will run often enough to read the
input device, no?
just recently some heavy process started when i was fulling around
with some soft synths [i know that shouldn't be happening, but i just
recently switched distros and I haven't learned enough to write
dont-bother-me script to switch all potential sources of disturbance]
and the GUI of the soft synth became quite irresponsive, while audio
went on without any glitches - that's I suppose because the audio part
was running in realtime thread and decided itself when to yield cpu.
is the only way to ensure the effects don't lag from control input to
make sure I run as little processes as possible and hope the input
thread will be scheduled often enough?

All,
The 11/22 issue of Computerworld has a blurb about Microsoft CEO Steve
Ballmer warning government leaders in Singapore that switching their
20,000 PCs from Windows to Linux could subject them to patent lawsuits.
I have heard some tales about commercial versions of Linux including
indemnification of users against these suits. What is the current
status of the patent issues? Will they ever be resolved, or are all
Linux users susceptible (proportional to the depth of their pockets)?

Hi all,
Just a quick note that we are currently considering starting a new version of
spiralsynthmodular from scratch (well almost) that will at first take the form
of a osc server/jack client that will load and connect ladspa plugins together.
Just wondering if anyone has an idea of an osc protocol for building modular
synths in this manner (thinking supercollider) and if we should use something
approaching a standard syntax of osc messages... this would mean that work
such as graphical user interfaces could be shared, etc...
Or has some or all this stuff already been done? Most of the work will be in
converting ssm's 50+ existing plugins to ladspa - and writing a gui that sends
osc messages.
My main motivation at this point is to just have a lightweight scriptable
non-gui jack ladspa modular effects rack for live performance use, should I
just use ecasound?
cheers,
dave
Hi all,
thanks to Martin Rumori, there is now a thread called

Dattorro's plate reverb of Griesinger type also feeds the M = L+R
signal to the main reverberator. However, that may not be a good
idea if L and R will sound bad when summed. When summing is done
that way, only the bad signal is going on inside the reverb. Nothing
turns it good.

Hi all,
following the conclusion of a very long discussion on both LAD and LAU
mailinglists, i would like to invite you all to participate in an event
that should take place on RME's official forum.
The goal is to run a thread on linux audio and RME support. Not a
discussion, but rather just raising your hand if you are a customer and
letting them know what hardware you are using, or whether you are
interested in their products or plan to purchase one if you are not a
customer of RME todate.
Please, if you are a RME customer, let them at least know what hardware
you are using.
You are free to express your feelings and you are free to express no
feelings if you do not wish.
Please avoid using swearwords.
In case you haven't found the thread, feel free to start it.
"Hi, i'm a linux audio user and i'm using your prod. X with linux audio
and i plan to continue using your products in the future (upgrades, new
products) if there will be future support from RME by providing
specifications" or something along these lines.
We need to agree on the topic so that people can easily find it:
"Linux audio, ALSA and RME support"
In case you are not satisfied with the topic, let us know so that we can
agree upon another one. Please be sure to post in that thread.
In case you have friends that use linux audio with RME and are not LAD
or LAU subscribers, please let them know.

I don't know if this is completely dead or just a little dead but I had
an idea today.
It'd be kinda neat if there was a mechanism for grouping related control
ports together in the UI.
