[linux-audio-user] Re: linux-audio-user digest, Vol 1 #162 - 9 msgs

by dietrich.heese.boutin＠utoronto.ca

Hello, I was wondering if anyone here had any experience using the new demudi/agnula beta distro? Reason being that I would like to know the process for downloading the iso and extracting it before burning. Furthermore, will it be possible to boot from this cd or is really only an upgrade to a debian system. Thanks for any help --DHB

[linux-audio-user] Music Construction Set

by JSusanj＠aol.com

I recently joined a choir and I find myself behind since everyone else is intimately familiar with the music. I loaded up the Music Construction Set on my Commodore 64 and it is working out OK. However, I really would like an equivalent program for Linux. I need to be able to put notes on a staff to match the sheet music and then I need to play it back. The program has to be simple to use and easy to learn. So far I have found some very powerful programs but with power comes complexity so that none seem to fit my requirements. Is there anything available to do what I want? Jeff S.

Hi, I'm trying to use mplayer's ac3 passthrough option, with the ALSA drivers, but I get the following error: alsa-init: requested format: 48000 Hz, 2 channels, AC3 alsa-init: soundcard set to iec958:AES0=0x2,AES1=0x82,AES2=0x0,AES3=0x2 ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:866:(snd_pcm_hw_open) open /dev/snd/pcmC0D3p failed: No such device alsa-init: playback open error: No such device if I do an ll on the /dev/snd/pcmC0D3p the permissions, etc look fine: - ll /dev/snd/pcmC0D3p crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 116, 19 Dec 26 17:54 /dev/snd/pcmC0D3p When I try to cat the file, it gives me the same error, though. Does anyone have any ideas? Regards, Reinier.

[linux-audio-user] USB MIDI and Audio

I'm pleased to say that the Oxygen 8 now works with my RedHat-based laptop, after installing the latest stuff from Planet CCRMA. The only problem is that now my USB Audio interface fails.

[linux-audio-user] Linux audio ISO

by Terry Ewing

Hello, I'm interested in using CDparanoia and possibly GRIP to copy and rip CDs. Unfortunately, my desktop system is a Windows2000 box. I'm not willing to install Linux just to use these tools. Is there an ISO image out that comes with these utils? Thanks, Terry

[linux-audio-user] /etc/init.d/alsasound start doesn't load modules

by Eric Dantan Rzewnicki

My system disk on this box failed recently, so I had to reinstall on a different disk. It's been a while since I last set up alsa from scratch, so I'm doubting myself and suspect that I've forgotten something (or, perhaps, that alsa has changed recently in some way). In my previous settup I think the alsasound init script loaded my drivers on boot. This time I can't seem to get "/etc/init.d/alsasound start" to work. It runs with no errors (no output at all, actually), but the sound modules are not loaded. I'm using debian woody, but I have none of the debian alsa packages installed. My kernel is 2.4.19 with Robert Love's preempt patch and Andrew Morton's Low latency patch. I've compiled and installed alsa-0.9.0rc6-drivers, -lib and -utils. I can do "modprobe snd-ymfpci", set the mixer and hear sounds with aplay. after loading the drivers with modprobe /etc/init.d/alsasound stop works as expected, unloading the drivers. This isn't urgent, since I can get sound using modprobe to load the drivers. But, not having the init script working makes me suspect I've forgotten something and if I forgot one thing I could have forgotten others .... anyway, any suggestions will be welcome. Thanks, Eric Rz.

Does anyone has any experience with motu hardware? Specifically 828 or 896. Are they co-operating with the community to create drivers? Cheers j.

[linux-audio-user] Midiman DMAN PCI

by Daniel James

Has anyone on the list got one of the Midiman DMAN PCI cards? They are discontinued and are quite cheap now, but they are supported by ALSA and look like they could be OK - if you only need up to 48KHz sample rate. Cheers Daniel
