At Q2S [1] there are currently vacant scholarships for Ph.D. students, and open positions for Postdocs and visiting scholars. The audio group at Q2S has an interest in Linux audio. For our work we have developed software for low latency streaming of audio over IP networks [2], and an encoder/decoder for seventh order Ambisonics in the horizontal plane. We work within audio over IP, sound fields, audio coding, error concealment and related fields [3]. There is also a multimedia group, with which we cooperate closely. A person with in depth knowledge of and experience from Linux audio development and use, ALSA, JACK and related topics might be a welcome addition to the audio group. If you are such a person, and would like to use your talents in an academic research setting, you are encouraged to contact us.
