[linux-audio-dev] [ANN] ALSA Patch Bay 0.5.0

by Bob Ham

Hi all, Now supports jack. It needs the patchbay-facilitating jack functions that are only in cvs atm, tho; there's been no tarball release with them yet. And yes, it's still called "ALSA" patchbay :) * added jack driver, also installing a jack-patch-bay link to alsa-patch-bay and a jack-patch-bay.desktop * added client subscriptions, similar to qjackconnect; press a read port twice http://pkl.net/~node/alsa-patch-bay.html Bob -- Bob Ham <rah(a)bash.sh>

[linux-audio-dev] [ANN] LADCCA 0.3.0

by Bob Ham

Hi all, LADCCA, the session management system for jack and alsa sequencer applications on linux is now at version 0.3. After about a month of gentle fiddling, it now seems to work quite well. As an example, I managed to run muse, 2 standalone copies of iiwusynth and 2 copies of jack rack, save it with the server, close all the apps and restore it nearly perfectly (I say "nearly" as muse likes to control alsa ports and connections.) It's certainly coming along. Quite a few people have mentioned that they don't have a recent version of alsa and so no alsa.pc file in order for pkgconfig to detect it. This time, I've included an alsa.pc in the tarball. Obviously, inspect it first and make sure the prefix is ok and it's all kosher. * Added the facility to run restored apps in a terminal using xterm, and added the CCA_Terminal client flag for clients that need a terminal to operate. * much improved jack and alsa listeners in the server * quite a few compilation and bug fixes and whatnot http://pkl.net/~node/ladcca.html Bob -- Bob Ham <rah(a)bash.sh>

[linux-audio-dev] newest audio server for Linux (yep, yet another)

by Phil Burk

> Bjarne Stroustrup who said something along the > lines of "Every use of a define is an instance of a programmer not > programming correctly." Gee, thanks. But Bjarne Stroustrup was probably writing about C++, which allows constants to be associated with a class: const double Synth::DEFAULT_FRAME_RATE = 44100.0; For C++, this construct is preferable to using a #define because the scope is limited to the class and would not conflict with, for example: const double Video::DEFAULT_FRAME_RATE = 30.0; That is a great feature of C++ but PortAudio is using 'C' not C++. So I think our only choices are #define and enum. PortAudio uses both. http://www.portaudio.com/docs/v19-doxydocs/portaudio_8h.html Are enums better than #defines?? I am always trying to improve my 'C' chops so I am open to suggestions.

[linux-audio-dev] usetsched: RT-priority changer library

by Takashi Iwai

Hi, i wrote a small helper library which allows applications to change their realtime-priority without having root privilege. the method is similar like utempter library: the library forks and execs the checker program which is set as setuid-root. then the checker proves the invoking application and user (group or host) is registered in the list, and if it's ok, changes the RT-priority of the process. since each user and each application is tested, it's more secure. the advantage is also that no special kernel patches are necessary. the changes needed for applications are only - add the following: #define WRAPPER_USETSCHED #include <usetsched.h> - link with -lusetsched i've tested (modified) jack and timidity. so far, it looks working fine. the detailed info is found at http://www.alsa-project.org/~iwai/usetsched/index.html the jack-patch is being prepared now. will be ready tomorrow. ciao, Takashi

[linux-audio-dev] newest audio server for Linux (yep, yet another)

by Ivica Bukvic

Kidding aside, this may prove to be so ubiquitous that it will quickly overshadow all other implementations. It's the MAS audio server that is going to be implemented into the X server itself and will be network-transparent. Slashdot just posted a news blurb on it: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/03/2137213 For more info see: http://www.mediaapplicationserver.net/indexframes.html Any ideas if this will be also good for pro-audio stuff?
