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

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?

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.
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.
ALSA appears to be starting OK:
[root@gimel jzitt]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound start
Starting sound driver snd-usb-audio [ OK ]
Starting sound driver snd-usb-audio [ OK ]
Starting sequencer driver snd-seq-midi [ OK ]
Restoring sound driver settings [ OK ]
[root@gimel jzitt]#
But jack hangs:
[root@gimel jzitt]# jackstart -R -d alsa -d hw -r 44100

Does this suggest anything (other than what we could tell from my
earlier posts)?

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
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.
Has anyone looked at/evaluated/considered/used the new VIA EPIA-M9000
motherboard
as the basis for interesting audio projects?
Best wishes,
Lloyd R. Prentice
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
