Hi,
Just less than a week after some user complaints about that glossy-glass
light effect featured on the front panel display, here comes a couple of
fixes that were made into this rather minor dot release.
Now's the perfect time for a recommended upgrade: qjackctl 0.2.11 is here,
grab it from:
http://qjackctl.sourceforge.nethttp://sourceforge.net/projects/qjackctl
Simply as is, as taken from the changelog:
* Fixed Input/Output channels settings, being now either enabled when the
ALSA driver is selected for Capture/Playback only.
* Shiny display effect: after some conservative user complaints this pure
cosmetic feature is now made optional ;)
Enjoy.

Well, actually there is an R9 out today ...
I have it patched, compiled and installed.
audiobox:~# uname -r
2.6.9-rc1-bk12-vp-r9
(had to lowercase the extraversion stuff to comply with debian policy
when making .deb with make-kpkg)
I've set all the /proc and /sys stuff I could find in the wiki (console
output below). Still, I get xruns reported by my ecasound 8 analogueOsc
thingy. Interestingly, though, they now only happen when I start the
second ecasound process to record from the jack outputs of the first.
I'll double check that with previous kernel versions when I get a
chance, but I'm fairly sure this is new and an improvement.
Subjectively, the sound of the analogueOscs is smoother and the zipper
noise from controller movements seems much less, but still the first
ecasound reports xruns when it exits.
As I said earlier today, I'm not complaining. I'm just trying to help
out by reporting. I'm eager and willing to help with debugging. Is there
anything I may have missed?
What other info should I provide?
Thanks,
Eric Rz.

Upgrade flex. 2.5.4 has known bugs for generating incorrect C++ code that gcc
3.2 and later have problems with.
f.i. from the lilypond documentation
<quote>
WARNING: plain Flex 2.5.4(a) generates invalid C++ code. GCC 3.x chokes on
this. If you wish to use GCC 3.x, make sure that your distribution supports
g++ 3.x and flex. For workarounds, see lexer-gcc-3.1.sh in the source
directory.
</quote>
So I guess you could look at the lilypond sources for workarounds as well.
Alternatively get flex at http://lex.sourceforge.net/
There are however also bugs with the most recent version(2.5.31), so the
linuxfromscratch folks recommend the patches from debian:
you can get the patch from:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/lfs/cvs/unstable/flex-2.5.31-debian…
Hope this helps
Gerard

And now Avid (the company owning Digidesign) bought M-Audio. I hope to see the
engineers that made the MBox hanging in the end of an USB cable.

Please tell us what that reason is...
Thanks in advance
Hi!
I am pleased to announce version 0.4 of the Polypaudio sound
server. See
http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/polypaudio/
for more information.
I will try to push Polypaudio into both Gnome and KDE as replacement
for esound resp. aRts. I am interested in your comments on Polypaudio.
Please comment especially on the client APIs available on
http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/polypaudio/doxygen/
For a quick comparison with aRts/Esound see the FAQ:
http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/polypaudio/FAQ.html
I am always interested in new devlopers: if you are interested feel
free to contact me!
polypaudio is not a sound server for professional audio, it is a sound
server for desktop environments. Please keep that in mind when
grumbling about this software.
Thanks for your time,
Lennart
