Hi, i heard on the #alsa irc channel, that some graphical mixer apps don't treat the alsa mixer [ctl] devices not right. For example on a cs46xx alsamixergui does not allow toggling capture on the "Capture" channel. This would be required and is no problem with alsamixergui. I wonder if other mixers have problems like this. This can be confusing like Hell to newbies.. -- http://www.soundclick.com/bands/9/florianschmidt.htm http://www.arted.biz/mista.tapas

[linux-audio-dev] Project: modular synth editor

by Juhana Sadeharju

Hello. I feel we should write a modular synth editor from scratch. I have checked many existing systems but none is good enough. The editor would just be the editor. There would not be anything related to audio processing. Developers could use the editor in any project, audio or not. The editor would handle GUIs such as in AlsaModularSynth, Arts, Galan, Gdam, Glame, NMEdit, PD, Quasimodo, SpiralSynthModular. Also we should have an API and a script in the system. I can set up a project folder to our ftp site, ftp.funet.fi, for resources (manuals and screenshots of existing systems, research papers). Coding should happen in some CVS site. Any comments? Regards, Juhana

[linux-audio-dev] ANN: Specimen Version 0.0.3 Released

by Pete Bessman

Guess what? ...*chirp*...*chirp*... Right, well... Specimen is midi controlled audio sampler for GNU/Linux systems, and this is a new release of it. I'm justifying this on the inclusion of velocity sensitivity, cuts, and proof-of-concept (read: crappy) pitch scaling. You can download the newest tarball, check out the new screenshot, and listen to the _fearsome_might_ of Specimen at www.gazuga.net. [pb]

[linux-audio-dev] oprofile, redhat and CONFIG_PREEMPT

by Michael Ost

Hi, all. We want to run oprofile on our redhat 8 based system. It looks like great technology, but an oprofile FAQ says it doesn't work on redhat 8 systems. The FAQ recommends downloading a redhat's oprofile rpm, which we did. But that is configured not to work with a CONFIG_PREEMPT kernel. Our kernel is CONFIG_PREEMPT patched for increased audio performance. Yikes! Has anyone run in to this problem and found a clever solution? An alternate profiler that works? Will we get meaningful results if we rebuild the kernel with CONFIG_PREEMPT turned off? Or perhaps we can run it with CONFIG_PREEMPT on and see what happens? Cheers... =================================== Michael Ost, Software Architect Muse Research, Inc. most(a)museresearch.com mo

What would be that "something"? Not much? I recently proposed that GDK/GTK should be extended with OpenGL widgets so that there are no two distinct systems a developer have to use. It simply does not work if a developer has to write, e.g. menu routines from scratch. Converting a large GTK application to use OpenGL widgets would then be an easy task. Regards, Juhana

[linux-audio-dev] Re: linuxaudio.org

by Bob Ham

I thought I'd provide a little dramatisation of what this whole debacle looks like to me: <Daniel> LAD_Dude_1: Hey dude, I've got this idea for a group to help linux audio developers and corporate interests get along better, what do you think? <LAD_Dude_1> Daniel: Sounds like a good idea. <Daniel> LAD_Dude_2: What do you think? <LAD_Dude_2> Daniel: Aye, sounds good. Going to need a web site and mailing list and whatnot tho. <Daniel> Aye, I'll register linuxaudio.org <Daniel> Mandrake (TM): You interested? <Mandrake (TM)> Daniel: Definately <Marek (overhearing)> Daniel: Hey! I was going to do that! You bastard! <Marek> LAD_People: HEY! DANIEL'S STARTED A WHOLE LINUX AUDIO DEVELOPER'S CONSORTIUM WITHOUT CONSULTING ANY OF US! <LAD_Dude_3> WTF?! <LAD_Dude_4> What a bastard! <LAD_Dude_5> How dare you! <Daniel> Hold on a sec, dudes, it doesn't exist yet. I haven't even written a web page! <LAD_Dude_4> What a bastard! <LAD_Dude_5> How dare you! To those shouting "bastard!", I say: chill, for the moment at least. I also provide below a mail I sent to Joern Nettingsmeier before christmas. While Daniel's and my ideas differ somewhat in the necessary approach; co-operation vs defense, our aim is the same: to help bring linux audio software out of bedrooms and into studios while maintaining the freedom of that software. It's worth noting that whether or not a party is a corporation or a tree hugging hippy (to epitomise the two sides of that coin) is irrelevant; the issue is whether or not they support free software, or the kind of proprietary software that stifles the communities that have developed around places like the linux-audio-dev list. I know plenty of tree hugging hippies that are more than willing to embrace propietary software, and plenty of corporations prepared to stand firm on the principles of software freedom. The mailing list I wanted to create is one that I expect will come to exist at linuxaudio.org. The linuxaudio.org site is only the second linux audio site I have noted that consistently uses the term "libre" or "free" instead of "open source" or "linux" software (the other site being AGNULA's; and guess which new consortium they're members of) and that goes some way toward allaying any fears I personally have about the consortium sucking up to the proprietary software industry. Anyway, another too-long email to add to the fire, but I hope it might dampen rather enflame it.

Has anyone actually been denied membership to the mailing list yet? I'm sure the creator of the list had some reasons for that choice.

Why is this list closed? Memership "will be held for approval", and the archive isn't available for browsing.. what gives? Certainly not the way things are done in the 'open source community'.. -Dave
