Greetings:
As of November 19 2002 the Linux Music & Sound Applications pages have
been updated. This site contains more links to Linux audio, MIDI, and
DSP sites than you can shake a stick at (== a lot), making it the most
comprehensive listing of its kind on the Internet.
The site may be reached here:

(As aways, the Japanese site will not update until midnight tonight.)

Hello!
I keep getting strange problems with libsndfile 1.0.1 lib. I first
noticed it running sweep and then I went back to libsndfile source and
tried out ht etests and they die at reading wav files.
josef:/usr/src/libsndfile-1.0.1/tests$ ./write_read_test wav
pcm_test_char : char.wav ..........
Line 314: sf_open (SFM_RDWR) failed : File contains data in an
unimplemented format.
josef:/usr/src/libsndfile-1.0.1/tests$ ./misc_test wav
update_header_test : header.wav ........
Line 175: sf_open (SFM_RDWR) failed : File contains data in an
unimplemented format.
I don't remember having any problems with libsndfile apps before and I
don't remember changing anything on my box lately.
Any ideas what to do and what to check?
Thanks and take care,
Miha...
We might be a bit early to the party. Maybe the real guests will kick
our asses out the door. Hope not ....

PETROLEUM AND PROJECT
DIVISION FALOMO,
LAGOS-NIGERIA
This letter is not intended to cause any embarrassment in whatever form,rather is compelled to contact your esteemed self, following the knowledge of your high reputes and trusts worthiness. Firstly, I must solicit your confidentiality; this is by the virtue as Being utterly confidential and top secret
though I know that a Transaction Of this magnitude will make anyone apprehensive and worried, but I Am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day. A bold step Taken shall not be regretted I assure you.
I am Engr Bankole Adekanmi, and I head a seven men tender board in charge of contract awards and payment
approvals, I came to know of you in Search of a
reliable and reputable person to handle a very
confidential business transaction which involves the
transfer of a huge sum of money to foreign account
requiring maximum confidence.
My colleagues and I are top officials of the NIGERIA
NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION (NNPC) OUR DUTIES
INCLUDING EVALUATION AND FORESEEING THE MAINTENANCE OF
THE REFINERIES IN ALL THE OIL PIPELINES.
We are therefore soliciting for your assistance to
enable us transfer into your account the said funds.
The source of the fund is as follows, during the last Military regime here in Nigeria this committee awarded a contract of US$400 Million to a group of five construction companies on behalf of the NIGERIA NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION for the
construction of the oil pipeline in Kaduna,
Port-Harcourt, Warri refineries, during this process my colleagues and I deliberately inflated the total
contract sum to the tone of US$443 Million with the
intention of sharing the inflated sum of US$43Million.
The Government has since approved the sum of
US$443Million for us as the contract sum, but since the contract is only worth US$400Million,the remaining
US$43Million is what we intend to transfer to reliable
and safe offshore account, we are prohibited to operate Foreign account in our names since we are still in Government.
This making it impossible for us to acquire
the money in our name right now, I have therefore been
delegated as a matter of trust by my colleagues to look for an oversea partner into whose account we can
transfer the sum of US$43Million.
My colleagues and I have decided that if you / your
company can be the beneficiary of this funds on our
behalf, you or your company will retain 25% of the total sum of US$43Million while 75% will be for us the
officials.
We have decided that this transaction can only proceed
under the following condition:
1. That you treat this transaction with utmost secret
and confidentiality and Conviction of your transparent honesty.
2.That upon the receipt of the funds you will release
the funds as instructed by us after you have removed your share of 20%.
please acknowledge the receipt of this letter using
the above email address.
I will bring you into the nomenclature of this
transaction when I have heard from you, your urgent
response through my email, you will be highly appreciated as we are catching on the
next payment schedule for the financial quarter.
Please be assured that this transaction is 100% legal/risk free, only Trust can make the reality of this transaction.
Best regards,
ENGR BANKOLE ADEKANMI.
Interesting article about achieving sub-msec response times by
"dedicating" one of the CPUs of a SMP box to high priority tasks using
a CPU shielding method.
http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT8610061752.html
Unfortunately most of us have only single CPU boxes which means that
we rely on the performance of the low latency / preemptive patches.
According to Jussi L. the 2.4 patches seem currently having problems
with ext3 writes (journaling) but ReiserFS seems ok.
Jussi told me too that it seems that RedHat 8.0 does something nasty
because he got bad latencies on that distro (2.4+his -jl improved lowlat
patch).
Any news on that front ?
What worries me is Red Hat 8.0 since it will become a pretty popular
distro soon because it is targeted for the desktop.
This means soon we will have user complaining why their systems cannot
deliver solid sub-3msec latency.
Hopefully ext3 and other issues get fixed soon.
cheers,
Benno

Hi,
I've created a package which extracts the firmware for MidiSport devices
from the Windows driver files and installs the hotplug script to download
the firmware. You can get it at
<http://www.informatik.uni-halle.de/~ladischc/midisport_linux_firmware.html>.
There are some differences to Lars Doelle's GPL firmware:
- it supports MidiSport 4x4/8x8/Keystation/Oxygen
- no configuration file editing, just 'make install'
- it requires ALSA because the Midiman firmware doesn't conform to the USB
MIDI specification
I don't have a MidiSport device, so this is completely untested.
Regards,
Clemens
Good hack, Clemens!

As Fernando said, it works. I have a Midisport2x2, but I don't need the
Midiman's firmware, because my Midisport2x2 works very well with ezusbmidi
firmware by Lars Doelle, but this can be useful for 4x4 and 8x8 owners...
while there is not a better GPL solution.
BTW, the latest midisport GPL firmwares and sources are available at
linux-hotplug project CVS repository:
http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=17679
(modulename "firmware")

ALSA Library Bindings for Pascal
http://alsapas.alturl.com
Hi.
I've been thinking about what could make
LADSPA more fun, and I think its time for a little
analog step sequencer.
If I make it behave like a real analog step sequencer,
Ill need a frequency output and a trigger output.
Problem is, vcf303 for instance takes a controller
as trigger.
So I'd need to connect a audio/controller output
to a controller input of another LADSPA plugin. Do
ladspa hosts like ecasound support this? Or am I
taking a completely wrong route here and it should
be done differently?

Another difficulty with the GPL its somewhat sketchy legal basis. (OT for
LAD... Google if you want to know more).
I've noticed that Dual licencing GPL/Commercial seems to fit in with the
corporate mindset, however. (e.g. Mysql). Ardour/Libardour could go this
route if all the developers desired it.
