As in, how do I share my own? What licenses or other scheme do you all use for music that you create and would like to be widely distributed, with or without any other restrictions. What considerations do you take into account? disclaimer: I don't have any cool music to release (yet), although I have a few almost-cool works for the extremely curious... -- Hans Fugal | De gustibus non disputandum est. http://hans.fugal.net/ | Debian, vim, mutt, ruby, text, gpg http://gdmxml.fugal.net/ | WindowMaker, gaim, UTF-8, RISC, JS Bach --------------------------------------------------------------------- GnuPG Fingerprint: 6940 87C5 6610 567F 1E95 CB5E FC98 E8CD E0AA D460

[linux-audio-dev] alsa 1.0.0 API changes???

by Maarten de Boer

Hello, I have been unsubscribed from alsa-devel for a while, so maybe i missed the discussion about this, but a quick look at the archives did not reveal anything. I just downloaded alsa 1.0.0rc2, and discovered that the API changed. For example (and this is only an example), take the function snd_pcm_hw_params_set_rate_near. Before, the 3th argument was the samplerate requested, and the return value was the error value (<0) or the samplerate obtained. err = snd_pcm_hw_params_set_rate_near(handle, params, rate, 0); Now, the third argument is a _pointer_, used to pass the requested value _and_ to return the obtained samplerate. Note that the symbol is identical, and that an application compiled against the old version will happily link against the new version (but surely fail when executing!) (or am I missing something here??) I clearly see the advantage of the new, cleaner, approach, but I still remember the past ALSA API changes, and I was under the impression that that would not happen again. I also thought that the 0.9.x releases were a straight line to work towards the 1.0 release. So I am very surprised to see this happen. If this has been discussed / announced somewhere, than I am sorry for having missed it, but in any case, I think it might be good to place a notice on the alsa web page. Maarten

Though it is interesting debating the technical merits of firewire, for me, atleast, it would be far more interesting to get it actually working. I'm _very_ interested in utilizing these hardwares. I googled a little last night, some people we all know popped up here and there (Hi Steve, Mark and Bob). There was a LAD message from 2001, someone who had been in contact with Yamaha and it seemed they(Yamaha) where working towards making mLan a part of the A&M standard (I think I got that right...not sure)... now... I'm not entirely sure what this means. It seemed as the A&M standards also cost a lot of money? Do we have enough information to implement mLan support? As I understand it, Bob Ham had/is working on implementing 61883 support for Jack, which seems like it's needed for mLan, a layer below it perhaps? How far has this come, is there something one can test somehow, what hardware do one need? Regards, Robert ps. I'm cc:ing LAD as I'd like to move the discussion there. Remove LAU if you respond to this. ds.

[linux-audio-dev] New Linux Audio Column in Linux Journal

by Joern Nettingsmeier

hello linux audio enthusiasts! reading lwn.net this morning i found that the linux journal has a new linux audio column in their online edition, written by dave phillips. the current issue is at http://www.linuxjournal.com//article.php?sid=7283 . the content of this first issue will not be news to you, since it's basically a plug for the world's finest linux audio mailing lists, which you already seem to know about :) still, it's an interesting read, and it has had an effect already: about 30 new subscriptions (in addition to the usual continous growth) since wednesday... (see http://www.linuxdj.com/audio/lad/subscribe.php3 .) to all new readers: welcome aboard! best, jörn -- To someone whose only tool is a hammer, each problem looks like a nail. - Edsger W.

[linux-audio-dev] [ANN] AlsaPlayer 0.99.76

by Andy Lo A Foe

Hi, AlsaPlayer 0.99.76 is out. This is a bugfix release. Things should run much better on NPTL enabled systems (e.g. latest Debian and Redhat). The playlist doesn't loop by default anymore. There were also some cleanups in the core. The next few releases will focus on bringing in a new GTK2 based interface and improving support for JACK. Download: ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/people/andy/alsaplayer-0.99.76.tar.bz2 http://www.alsaplayer.org/alsaplayer-0.99.76.tar.bz2 Homepage: http://www.alsaplayer.org Please report bugs, etc. to the alsaplayer-devel mailing list. Enjoy! Andy @ alsaplayer.org

[linux-audio-dev] Capabilities patches for a 2.4 kernel.

by Luke Yelavich

Hi all I haven't really been following the discussion about the capabilities patches etc, so bare with me if I have missed anything. I am currently preparing an updated kernel, and am wondering whether any of the proposed patches for a 2.4 kernel are stable enough to be usable. If so, where can I obtain the patches? Thanks Luke -- Luke Yelavich AudioSlack Founder and head package maintainer Audio software packaged for the Slackware Linux Distribution http://www.audioslack.com luke(a)audioslack.com
