In the code k = -1; for (;;) { if (k != nums[1]) { k = nums[1]; fprintf(stderr,"%i\n",k); } fprintf(stderr,"g"); } The whole if was apperently optimized away. The code printed only one number and a lot of "g"s. Of the two choises (1) nums[1] is updated elsewhere, (2) it is unnecessary code, coder just tries to be clever, the compiler authors selected the latter. Here is my suggestion to C standard: replace the "volatile" with "goaheadandoptimizetheseawayiwerejustwastingmytimeincodingthese theydonotmeananythingactually". Instead of forcing legitimate coders to write volatile everywhere, those fools who write unnecessary code should be forced to add the proposed qualifier. Juhana

In that session I was doing a lot to try and muck things up - changing zoom, recording overlapping regions...that seems to be in line with canvas problems. I can still make the recording dropout rather easily and receive and xrun, but that seems to answer my question - its seems to be a performance issue trigering something as opposed to the xrun being a result of a bug. I'll try again later. --ant

[linux-audio-dev] Measuring latency on my Apple G3

by Ismael Valladolid Torres

Hi, I am trying latencytest-0.42-png.tar.gz for measuring latency on my Apple G3 (Debian/Sid PowerPC). Of course I am enabling USE_GENERIC_TIMER and tuning my hard disk using hdparam before tests. But, results show a very poor performance. Indeed, any X11 stressing involves a raise of the latency and lots of dropouts. I can't blame hardware. Apple hardware is top-class, and this same machine features under 1,5 ms of latency using CoreAudio on Mac OS X. So, whether the PowerPC kernel or X11 are not fully optimized, or the latencytest application is not reliable on non-Intel platforms. Any ideas? Sorry for crossposting... ;) Regards, Ismael

[linux-audio-dev] ANNOUNCE: BEAST/BSE v0.5.4

by Tim Janik

BEAST/BSE version 0.5.4 is available for download at: ftp://beast.gtk.org/pub/beast/v0.5 or http://beast.gtk.org/beast-ftp/v0.5 BEAST (the Bedevilled Audio SysTem) is a graphical front-end to BSE (the Bedevilled Sound Engine), a library for music composition, audio synthesis, MIDI processing and sample manipulation. The project is hosted at: http://beast.gtk.org This new development series of BEAST comes with a lot of the internals redone, many new GUI features and a sound generation back-end separated from all GUI activities. The most outstanding new features are the track editor which allowes for easy selection of synthesizers or samples as track sources, loop support and unlimited UnDo/ReDo capabilities. Note, the .bse file format hasn't fully stabilized yet, so incompatibilities with future versions may occur, though we're making every possible attempt to maintain backwards compatibility. Overview of Changes in BEAST/BSE 0.5.4: * Ported and improved synthesis module from David A. Bartold: DavSynDrum - Synthetic drum generator * Added support for control event editing * Added per-note velocity and fine-tune editing * Added support for per-track and per-song special effects * Some GUI polishing * Fixes to compile on NetBSD * Miscellaneous bug fixes --- ciaoTJ
