Many updates to specific card features, plus support for Linux kernel 2.6.x.
Also on the same page can be found the patch for alsa 1.0.5a
(I know, I'm lagging behind)

Hi,
One of the things that I came away from the meeting in Germany with was
a sense that the LASH protocol used for client<->server communication
needed to be better defined, both on the wire and in the api. What is
really necessary is a network protocol and api designed to allow
high-level ideas like sessions to be represented in a simple format.
The properties that I had been working on have become gobjects and what
was to be a new networking system is a seperate, gobject-based library
to provide a high-level networking api (eg, session_scan(),
session_join(), etc)
The TLA OSC has been banded about quite a bit, and this is not out of
the question; it would be in a set of usable lower-level protocols (or
perhaps the set :)

Hello,
An updated version (1.0.1) of libclalsadrv is now available on
<http://users.skynet.be/solaris/linuxaudio>
Changes w.r.t. 1.0.0:
snd_pcm_prepare() is no longer called when the alsa device is
started, only when it is restarted after an xrun. This seems
to solve some problems with 2.6 kernels. Thanks to Matthias
Nagorni and Takashi Iwai for finding this out.

I don't think you should use the middle button for anyting.
With scroll-button mouses (which everyone should use), the
middle button is very unconfortable. What about
some creative use of the scroll-wheel instead? The obvious
use is of course to change the value with the scroll-wheele.
I think that would be nice.

I can't trigger that, but the flickering is annoying.
How about double-buffering the thing?
Another thing, in some situations, I think I would prefer
that the fan is always at maximum size. Could that be
made as an option in the API?
Besides from that, very very nice! I'm thinking about using
it in my configuration code for SND. But the flickering
needs to be fixed.

I'm pleased to annouce, after a solid month of heated debate with X11,
the initial public release of PHAT, the PHat Audio Toolkit. From the
website (www.gazuga.net/phat.php):
"PHAT is a collection of GTK+ widgets geared toward pro-audio
apps. The goal is to eliminate duplication of effort and provide some
standardization (well, at least for GTK+ apps). It's open source
software, licensed under the GNU GPL, version 2.0 or later."
The debut and flagship widget is the fanslider, designed by Thorsten
Wilm's. The LAU folks may not be too interested in the library as
such, but might like to play around with this widget (hence the cross
post). It comes with a demo program, "phatfantest," which displays
the sliders in all their glory.
Tarball: www.gazuga.net/phat-0.1.0.tar.gz
Docs: www.gazuga.net/phat/index.html
Let's actually go somewhere with all this debate about widgets and
standards and such. Contributions are welcome (hint hint). I hope we
can put an end to the Linux Usability Curse, at least in our own
little neck of the woods.

ROSEGARDEN GOES BETA! - 0.9.9 RELEASED
The Rosegarden team are delighted to announce the 0.9.9 release of
Rosegarden 4, an audio and MIDI sequencer and musical notation editor
for Linux.
http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/
This release is feature complete for 1.0 and marks the start of
official beta testing.
Rosegarden is one of the most comprehensive Linux music software
projects, and is the only Linux application to offer full composition
and recording capabilities to musicians who prefer to use classical
notation. We encourage anyone who may be interested in using the 1.0
release to try out 0.9.9 and provide bug reports and other feedback
via the mailing lists and bug trackers.
http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/getting/http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/support/
New features of the 0.9.9 release include:
o Plugin synth support using the DSSI system (http://dssi.sf.net/).
Rosegarden now comes with integrated sample-synchronous synth
support, with LADSPA effects and mixer routing for synth tracks,
and configuration both through the built-in plugin GUI and plugins'
own native GUIs.
o Triggered segments for pattern sequencing & performable ornaments
o New menu layout, many new keyboard shortcuts for everyday usability
o Recording from multiple MIDI sources
o Cautionary accidentals and configurable key-signature cancellations
o Pedal marks, mordents, trill lines, repeat bars
o Fine positioning and visibility control of notation elements
o Visual metronome
o Several new example files
Other features of interest include:
o Piano-roll, score, event list and track overview editors
o MIDI and audio playback and recording with ALSA and JACK
o JACK transport support for synchronisation with other software
o Ability to build and run without JACK support for MIDI-only use
o Audio plugin support using LADSPA
o Score interpretation of performance MIDI data
o MIDI and Hydrogen file import
o MIDI, Csound, Lilypond and MusicXML file export
o Clear, consistent and polished user interface
o Shareable device (.rgd) files to ease MIDI portability
o User interface in Russian, Spanish, German, French, Welsh,
Italian, Swedish and Estonian, as well as UK and US English.
Rosegarden is Free Software under the GNU General Public License.

ladspar is a Ruby module for using LADSPA plugins. Here's a short
example:
---
require 'ladspa'
require 'narray'
# load the CMT library
cmt = LADSPA.load_library('cmt')
# get an instance of the amp_mono plugin
amp_mono = cmt.plugins.find {|p| p.label == 'amp_mono'}.instantiate(44100)
# The ports are Gain, Input, and Output.
amp_mono.ports[0].connect_port(1.5) # gain
input = NArray.sfloat(44100)
amp_mono.ports[1].connect_port(input)
output = NArray.sfloat(44100)
amp_mono.ports[2].connect_port(output)
amp_mono.activate if amp_mono.has_activate
# prep the input data ...
amp_mono.run
amp_mono.deactivate if amp_mono.has_deactivate
amp_mono.cleanup
---
This is the first release of ladspar; I consider it beta quality. I have
put it through its paces (more test code than swig code), but I am the
only one to have tested it. Nevertheless I think it is usable, and I am
eager to fix any bugs you may find.
Go grab it at http://rubyforge.org/projects/ladspar

Last I checked OSC, it had Lisp/Scheme like syntax. Don't know
if that is a drawback --- anyone?
Has anyone used MPI (Message Passing Interface) for this?
People use these for high performance parallel computations
in Linux clusters. MPI itself is a standard supported by academic
and by vendors. MPI is used, e.g., in supercomputers.
