Hi,
Are there tools to copy audio to a file as it goes through ALSA to the
soundcard? I'm basically looking for something like VSound, but for
everything, not just apps that can be coaxed to use OSS.
If not, would there be a way to implement such a tool without resorting to
vsound-style LD_PRELOAD hacks?
Thanks,

Hilarious comment from slashdot about this debacle, there's a lot of truth
there though, if you happen to come across it, don't touch it.

can anybody help out with gcc inline assembly syntax applied to sse
registers/memory locations?
for a simplified example, i'm using
float t[4];
...
asm ("movaps %%xmm1, %0" : : "m" (t[0]));
to move 4 packed floats from xmm1 into 't'.
my suspicion is that gcc concludes from the expression that only t[0]
has changed, so if i'm unlucky the optimizer ignores the contents of
t[1:]. it does the right thing right now, but i want to go sure this
is reliable under all conditions.
one possible solution seems to use struct/union instead of float[4]
(iirc that's the way fftw-3 does it) but i'm aesthetically inclined
towards the more direct float[] notation.
i've dug deep into the gcc info files, but they rarely touch the
issue (and are darn tedious to read). using gcc-3.x builtins is not an
option.
so, can anybody help me code this properly?
thanks,
tim
Our Menlo Park, CA based startup is looking for someone with strong Wine
skills to help us support VST plugins in a Wine environment. Plugin
compatibility issues need to be tracked down and solved, either by
patching Wine or our hosting environment.
Deep experience in Wine configuration and development are important.
Strong Windows API skills are important too. An interest in digital
music, soft synths and digital effects would be helpful.
The position is available immediately. Telecommuting is available. The
position would initially be on a contractor basis, but could lead to a
full time position. The rate will be based on experience, and the terms
are negotiable.
If you are interested and qualified, please send an email to
jobs(a)museresearch.com with WINE CONTRACTOR in the subject line. Include
your resume in the body of the email, and attach it as a separate file
as well.
hi tim!
i don't know much about cardbus controllers, but lspci gives me
02:06.0 CardBus bridge: O2 Micro, Inc.: Unknown device 7114 (rev 20)
02:06.1 CardBus bridge: O2 Micro, Inc.: Unknown device 7114 (rev 20)
02:06.2 System peripheral: O2 Micro, Inc.: Unknown device 7110
on the acer notebook (tm803), where everything works fine with my hdsp.

Hello.
I was reading Ableton Live tutorials at "www.creativesynth.com" and
found the following:
One important point about Rewire hosting - that is shutdown order.
If you try to shut down Live while Reason is running, you will get
a warning that looks something like this:
[ the program cannot quit ]
Don't panic, this is common with all Rewire hosting environments - if
you would quit Live, Reason would have no place to send its audio.
Therefore, you have to jump to Reason, quit the program (saving any
changes you might have made), return to Live and shutdown. A bit of
a hassle, but well worth the effort.
That is another good reason to have the application manager in the
Patchbay --- but it help only if one want to quit. It won't help if
one wants keep the other applications up and running.
If I remove a synth application in Jack, then what happens to the effect
applications in the path? Does they receive silent input or break up?
The silent input would be better because then I could switch the
synth application with a need to remake the whole system.

Juhana
There is a thread on Slashdot about Apples much hyped music production
thingie christened "GarageBand".
It appears to me to be very inefficient. From what I can read, it
handles only a very few voices and very few audio-tracks. Actually, I
think it sucks!
Anybody care to comment?
A handful of mp3 files are conveniently posted by slashdotters for
evaluation.

Hi peeps,
I've only just started playing with libsndfile, so I hope this
isn't a dumb question.
I get a segmentation fault when I try to use sf_readf_float on some
wavs. The odd thing is, if I re-save the file in the same format,
(with something like audacity or sweep) it works. I thought I must
have been confused, and that the format was different the next time
around, but it isn't - at least as far as libsndfile's SF_INFO can
tell me.
I don't think the file is broken, because audacity, sweep, mplayer,
etc. can all load and play it without any complaint.
And it's not just one file - it's quite a few of them.
What am I doing wrong?
I've packed up an example (small - just a kick) in working and
broken form in case anyone wants to try it. It's at
http://www.dis-dot-dat.net/busted.tar.bz2
Thanks for listening.

hello everyone!
this is not exactly about audio-development, but the DRI+jack thread
encouraged me to ask a few questions about optimizing my setup:
i'm using a rme hdsp (cardbus) + multiface with my 1ghz pIII laptop for
quite a while now, and i'm happy with it.
i would like to use the setup for live-processing but the lowest jackd
framesize i can safely use is 2048. the main issue here seems to be the
nvidia graphics card.
since i switched from kernel 2.4.2x+lowlat+capabilities to 2.6.1 the
cpu-load seems to be noticable higher for ardour, but the latency-issue
did not change.
so my questions are:
*) is anybody successfully using hdsp-cardbus with really low latencies ?
*) how important is the firmware version - which firmware version should
i use for my hdsp card?
*) did anyone else notice increasing cpu load with audio-apps + kernel
2.6.x ?
*) any hints about configuring X11 for linux-audio (besides from DRI
questions ;-) ?
let me know if you think i'm on the wrong list should better alsa-dev.
thanks in advance
regards
d13b

Suppose I have a "resample" plugin, so that it outputs more or less data than it inputs.
It seems to me that LADSPA cannot support this, as the SampleCount argument to the "run"
member would suggest that exactly this many LADSPA_Data items are produced/consumed
in all the (audio) ports.
Is this the case? If so, is there a workaround?
I have tried looking at rate_shifter_1417, but, err, hmmmm (scratches bum, picks nose.)
Simon.
