Attached is a patch to add OSS audio driver support to the
jack-audio-connection-kit 0.90.0. This is a first quick hack of 0.80.0
driver to 0.90.0, but better one is coming..
Apply patch and run "autoreconf --force --install" to regenerate
configure stuff.
RPMs for RedHat 9 and source .tar.gz is available at
http://www.sonarnerd.net/linux/ and SuSE 9 packages are coming.

********JACK 0.90.0********
JACK is a low-latency audio server, written primarily for the GNU/Linux
operating system. It can connect a number of different applications to
an audio device, as well as allowing them to share audio between
themselves. Its clients can run in their own processes (ie. as normal
applications), or can they can run within the JACK server (ie. as a
"plugin").
JACK is different from other audio server efforts in that it has been
designed from the ground up to be suitable for professional audio work.
This means that it focuses on two key areas: synchronous execution of
all clients, and low latency operation.
Source packages for Jack 0.90.0 are available
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jackit/ .
********Major Changes********
Buffers can resize during operation. This can be triggered by the user
or by the function jack_set_buffer_size(). See the documentation for
details. It is new code and still needs a shakedown. It can be enabled
with './configure --enable-resize'. If not compiled in,
jack_set_buffer_size() returns ENOSYS. Applications should be prepared
for it though.
Major rewrite of the thread model. This won't affect users.
Thanks to the rewrite, jack now has a "freewheeling" mode for faster
than realtime operation. It decouples the engine from the soundcard.
The alsa driver has 3 new options. --i, --inchannels sets the number of
channels to open for input. --o, --outchannels sets the number of
channels to open for output. -S, --shorts changes the order of in which
the sampleformats are tried. The driver will try to use 16bit samples
first and only tries 32bit if this fails. Useful if you digitaloutput
card supports 32bit samples but your interface doesn't.
********Minor Changes********
Greatly increased support for other architectures.
--version also prints out the temporary directory.
Example clients expanded to be more helpful.
Many bug fixes.
Updated and improved documentation.
Portaudio driver works on linux.
jack_connect() returns EEXIST if a connection is already made.
Addition of jack_get_current_transport_frame ().
hw:0 is the default ALSA device instead of "default".
Jack's build system has better optimization.
--silent option for halting jackd's output.
Removal of --tmpdir and --asio options.
Will compile with alsa-lib-1.0.0pre1 (the latest).
********Other********
Jack now has a mantis bugtracker at http://jackit.sf.net/mantis/ .
Please use that for bug reports.
James has written a tutorial for jack programmers available at
http://dis-dot-dat.net/jacktuts/starting/index.html .
********Deprecated********
These are deprecated structures and functions that have been
deprecated. They will likely be removed in a future release.
The jack_transport_info_t struct has been deprecated. Please use
jack_position_t instead.
jack_engine_takeover_timebase() has been deprecated. Please use
jack_set_timebase_callback() instead.
jack_set_server_dir() has been deprecated.
jack_get_transport_info() has been deprecated. Please use
jack_transport_query() instead.
jack_set_transport_info() has been deprecated. Instead, define a
JackTimebaseCallback.
Hi,
Does anybody the state of Linux support for the
firewire 410? Searching through various mailing lists,
I found comments that suggested that somebody was
working on it but I couldn't find any further
information.
Does anybody know if this is a MLan device? Any
information sources that point towards a datasheet or
similar would be very useful.
Thanks,
Girish

This is a little toy I hacked up while learning the Jack API today. It
is not sophisticated, it is hackish, and it is probably not really doing
precisely what I intended it to do. But it's fun. It does a simple form
of granular synthesis: it plays a grain for every incoming packet in
realtime.
Requires libpcap and libjack (of course).

Hi Everybody,
This mail is a direct consequence of the song Austin Acton posted recently. :)
A nice little tune made with linux, about linux, that has been quite
successful with very little advertisement.
After a few brain rotations (before you ask, yes, I think by rotating my
brain) I came to the conclusion that RIGHT NOW is a wonderful time to start a
write_the_best_linux_song_contest!
My reasoning is that linux-2.6 is just around the corner, people are hungry
for any kind of linux related information, no matter how far fetched (I don't
even think this is very far fetched). Making a little contest to choose THE
linux-2.6-theme-song seems like a very good way to attract some easy
publicity, the main thing we want to do is make people interested in (and
aware of) audio production under linux.
I'm confident that Slashdot (or any news site in the free software world for
that matter) would gladly do a story on this event. BUT before we get to
that, let's atleast produce some music ! :)
Some criteria I thought would be applicable:
- The song must be about linux in some way
(about linux 2.6 seems the obvious choice).
- The song must be (atleast) processed with a computer and
that computer must run linux.
- No computer running an operating system that is nonfree
can be used in the production. (External synthesizers or
similar stuff with advanced capabilties don't count as
computers and can thus be used)
- The song must be written by the artist
(possibly used with permission).
- The song would preferably contain some kind of voice track
( it might be hard to hear that it's about linux otherwise,
and it would be nice to know how you people sound :-)
- the better the audio quality the better, though
I think there are other qualities of the recordings that count.
- Some info about the applications/gear used should be included
(atleast applications).
- No prices, just free publicity for anybody that joins,
and most publicity for those that reach the top in the
event that we actually pull of a vote.
We already got one song, Austins! I'm in the middle of producing a naive
electronic piece myself (I mainly play the guitar) that I think will be
applicable also. But... two songs don't make a contest... So, what do you
say? Are we up to it?
I'm calling all linux-artist wannabees, this is the time! I dare all
developers that aren't on a deadline to take some time of from coding and
also participate, bring out the artist in you! :)
Wouldn't you just die to hear "The ballad of Alan Cox", or "Linus' Theme" or
"The Bitkeeper Blues" :) (those are free btw if anyone gets any bright
ideas ;)
>From now til, say, December 14, one month, might be enough time to do
something creative, yes?
Let me know if there is any interest for this then I will try to formalize
things a bit, website etc.
Well don't just sit there, let's do it! :)

actually sonification of traffic is already passe, you probably should have
attended some of the festivals ;)
