[linux-audio-dev] disk latency under 2.4.19 ll+preempt

by jfm3

I'm running the low latency and preemption kernel patches on 2.4.19. I'm getting disk copy latency of around 10ms. Since I'm a real time person (according to M. Goggins) who doesn't use the hd in real time, I can live with this, but it bugs me. I've tried ext2 and ext3, no difference. Any other tips?

[linux-audio-dev] libsndfile failure

by Miha Tomsic

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...

[linux-audio-dev] matter of urgency !!!

by engr bankole

FROM:ENGR BANKOLE ADEKANMI, 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.

[linux-audio-dev] Paper: sub-msec latency on a shielded CPU on SMP

by Benno Senoner

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 -- http://linuxsampler.sourceforge.net Building a professional grade software sampler for Linux. Please help us designing and developing it.

[linux-audio-dev] Please test my MidiSport firmware loader

by Clemens Ladisch

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.

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") Regards, Pedro -- ALSA Library Bindings for Pascal http://alsapas.alturl.com

[linux-audio-dev] LADSPA output controller?

by Mario Lang

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? -- CYa, Mario
