[linux-audio-user] Burning DVD-A with own 24/96 content

by Martin Wolters

I couldn't find any information on the web about burning DVD-A (DVD-Audio) discs. Does somebody know if that is possible? What programs and hardware are required? -M PS.: I am not thinking about copying commercial DVD's but making my own 24/96 recordings and play them in my living room - if that makes any difference.

[linux-audio-user] Vsound is no more

by Erik de Castro Lopo

Hi all, It is with regret that I have to inform you that I will not longer be maintaining Vsound. >From the web page ( http://www.zip.com.au/~erikd/vsound/ ) October 27th, 2002 Although I have maintained vsound for nearly three years, I can no longer do so, nor can I continue to make it available from this web site. I live in Australia which has a law (Digital Agenda Bill 2000) which is similar to the DCMA in the US in that it makes the distribution of a devices for circumventing copyright protection illegal. I have neither the time, money or inclination to make myself a possible target for such legal action by companies with endless legal and financial resources. However, vsound is probaly available from other web sites. If you want a copy, you should search the web. Do not email me as I cannot and will not provide you with a copy. I will however continue working on other Linux audio software such as libsndfile and Secret Rabbit Code.

[linux-audio-user] new Debian user

by Laura Conrad

I just fixed my Mandrake RPM problems by installing Debian (woody). Right now, I don't have any sound apps working. What's the best way to go about it? I have an SB-Live soundcard, and need to be able to play MIDI files, and record sound. (Usually via timidity and ecasound, although I've used other apps as well.) Is compiling Alsa CVS the right thing to do, or is there something easy to do with apt-get that would get me going until I had something I really needed the Alsa CVS for? -- Laura (mailto:lconrad@laymusic.org , http://www.laymusic.org/ ) (617) 661-8097 fax: (801) 365-6574 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139

[linux-audio-user] (REQ:) Linux live encoding

by mawali＠news.icns.com

Hi My and my friend are thinking of setting an open radio station. Only choice I have is linux (that is all I use). I am trying to find something that will do live encoding for me. All the content on the station will be non-copyrighted and royalty free and I want the software used to be that too. Please tell me what my options are, for live encoding, I will probably use ogg, since mp3 is not royalty free. Also is there any hardware that would do this encoding for me. If not, and the software is available. I might turn it into a dedicated blackbox for live encoding. Thanks

[linux-audio-user] [ANN] TiMidity++ now on sourceforge

by Takashi Iwai

Hi, the development tree of the latest TiMidity++ was moved onto sourceforge now. http://sourceforge.net/projects/timidity/ there is a cvs branch, "R2_12_0_pre1b", which includes bunch of enhancement patches. the patches sent on the timidity developer ML (in japanese) are (occasionally) sync'ed with this tree. also, an english mailling list was opened for non-japanese-speaking developers and users: http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/timidity-talk hope many people have interest and join to this project. ciao, Takashi

[linux-audio-user] All at the same time?

by Mark Knecht

Hi, Fundamental question - Does alsa support multiple applications generating audio all at the same time? Specifically, is it possible to run one or more OSS applications, with one or more Alsa applications, and jack enabled applications all at the same time? I think possibly not, but if not, is there some combination that does work, like 1 Alsa + all the jack apps, etc? Thanks very much, Mark

[linux-audio-user] LinuxSampler project back, seeking for developers, volounteers and enthusiasts !

by Benno Senoner

As promised, I'd like to revive the linux audio sampler I was working on about 2 years ago. I was forced to take a long pause (almost 2 years) from LAD stuff because I had to finish my CS degree before the retirement age. But speaking speaking with various developers on LAD there seems big interest for a high quality software sampler for Linux, especially one that can play samples from disk since there are now many huge sample libraries out that only work with samplers that can stream. (Halion, GIG). As some of you probably remember at that time, I wrote some proof-of-concept code that demonstrate that it is possibile to achieve sub-5msec latencies while streaming samples from disk under Linux given a lowlat enabled kernel. But my (and other's) vision is to write a sampler that is both efficient and offers flexible modulation and routing plus that it can interact with jack and other audio/midi sw present in your linux virtual studio setup. I was toying with the idea of using some sort of recompilation techniques where the user can graphically design the sampler's signal flow (routing, modulation, FXes etc) which in turns get translated into C code that get loaded as a .so file and executed within the sampler's main app. This would make up for a very flexible engine while retaining most of the speed of hard coded ones. I have set up a site and a mailinglist for the sampler at http://linuxsampler.sourceforge.net Without the help of all you LAD geniuses LinuxSampler will not become the sampler I (and others) have in mind, so if you are interested to contribute code, ideas, designs or want to give advices because you have lots of experience with hardware samplers or windows/mac applications, with the please subscribe to the linuxsampler-devel mailing list at: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linuxsampler-devel Since LinuxSampler will support JACK from the beginning, I hope that the jack core members sign up to the mailing list too in order to solve issues related to jack more quickly. PS: I suggest to go into planning mode for a while in order to sort out things a bit and lay out an elegant design concept in order to avoid the usual spaghetti code projects. thoughts ? cheers, Benno http://www.linuxaudiodev.org The Home Of Linux Audio Development
