Gnu/Linux has evolved so much, but it still can give you pains. My experience has also passed through times of trouble, but recently I've been dealing with it almost in perfection, since installing and updating the planet-ccrma packages at http://www-ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/ This is RedHat based, so it would force you to change distro!!! It is apt based so most installs and update are automatic and in fact a breeze. If you want to try it out, I think it's one of the best sites around... Let me know if it works out! Cheers, Carlos

[linux-audio-user] ANN: Initial public release of the Linux version of Soundmesh -- an Internet2 audio streaming software

by Ivica Bukvic

Hi all, Announcing immediate availability of Soundmesh Internet2 audio streaming software. 1. What is Soundmesh Soundmesh is a result of a collaborative work with Mara Helmuth. It originally started as an "Internet Sound Exchange" Internet2 project and has since grown to become a full-fledged audio streaming front-end. The sole purpose of this app is to provide a mechanism for streaming multiple CD-quality (or better) audio soundfiles via fast Internet2 connection, utilizing hacked version of the RTcmix v.3.1.0. Hence, Soundmesh provides for a unique "jamming" tool via Internet for a larger groups of participants. 2. Obtaining Soundmesh Soundmesh is currently only available in a source form and is downloadable from my website. It's download is broken into 2 parts: the soundmesh front-end (~530KB)and the hacked full version of the RTcmix3.1.0 (8.2MB). They can be obtained using the following direct URL's: http://meowing.ccm.uc.edu/~ico/soundmesh/soundmesh-latest.tar.gz (~530KB) http://meowing.ccm.uc.edu/~ico/soundmesh/rtcmix-soundmesh.tar.gz (8.2MB) Alternately, you can also find the download links on my website. Documentation is also available: http://meowing.ccm.uc.edu/~ico/soundmesh/Documentation.txt Screenshot: http://meowing.ccm.uc.edu/~ico/soundmesh/Screenshot.jpg 3. Current Limitations *Soundmesh obviously does not currently support modular numbers of incoming and outgoing streams. This is something that is planned for a future release. *Perl (.pl) scorefiles are supported in soundmesh but do not work in RTcmix *Python RTcmix scorefiles are currently not supported and do not work with either soundmesh or this version of RTcmix *A number of playable streams before "gapping" occurs varies depending on the quality of a stream and the internet connection. Considering that this is an Internet2 project, chances are your modem connection will simply not work [well or at all]. *Sound played via network is not heard locally (should be a quick fix). *Connections are not secure. 4. Disclaimer Copyright Mara Helmuth & Ivica Ico Bukvic 2001-3 Linux version distributed under the GPL license (see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html for more info) This software comes with no warranty whatsoever!

[linux-audio-user] Really basic /dev/dsp question

by Ken Goudsward

I am trying to set up a sound card under RedHat9 Kudzu detected it as a Creative Vibra 16x PnP (CT4170) So that is good but my apps (primarily XMMS) are trying to use /dev/dsp I suppose I need to make /dev/dsp into a symlink to the new device, but How do I find which /dev, if any, is setup as the new card? Or is there something else I need to do? Thanks, Ken Goudsward

[linux-audio-user] recovering tracks after hdd failure.

by Patrick Shirkey

I was recording a particularly roaring jam last night and my HDD overheated (I think). Why does it always happen when you are doing your best work? Anyway I have an extreemely large file which I cannot access with any of the players I have. Does anyone know how I can check the file to see if there is any useful info in it and recover whatever was recorded? I was using arecord so I assume that at least some of it was written to disk. I'm thinking I need to scan the file for the ggod info then cut it up with some thing that cuts files into bits and discard the junk then put it back together or just put the parts into seperate files. -- Patrick Shirkey - Boost Hardware Ltd. Http://www.boosthardware.com Http://www.djcj.org - The Linux Audio Users guide ======================================== Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No! We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything I've ever done. Goldie, 8 Nov, 2002 The Scotsman

[linux-audio-user] Ardour and Jack (Alsa) problems

by Esa Linna

Finally got latest Ardour CVS configured and compiled, thanks for the advices to all of you. But now my problem is that when start JACK with "jackd -d alsa" and then run Ardour as root, it gives me this message in Ardour: "JACK has either been shutdown or it disconnected Ardour because Ardour was not fast enough. You should save the session and restart both JACK and Ardour." Console says: "Ardour/GTK 0.374.6 running with libardour 0.681.5 Loading UI configuration file /usr/local/etc/ardour/ardour_ui.rc Loading system configuration file /usr/local/etc/ardour/ardour_system.rc Loading user configuration file /root/.ardour/ardour.rc The font "-*-charter-bold-r-*-*-*-180-*-*-*-*-*-*" does not support all the required character sets for the current locale "fi_FI" (Missing character set "ISO8859-15") (Missing character set "ISO8859-15") The font "-*-charter-bold-r-*-*-*-180-*-*-*-*-*-*" does not support all the required character sets for the current locale "fi_FI" (Missing character set "ISO8859-15") (Missing character set "ISO8859-15") The font "-*-charter-bold-r-*-*-*-180-*-*-*-*-*-*" does not support all the required character sets for the current locale "fi_FI" (Missing character set "ISO8859-15") (Missing character set "ISO8859-15") engine unexpectedly shutdown; thread exiting JACK has shutdown Ardour. Signal 2 received ardour is killing itself for a clean exit Killed" and JACK gives me this message: "could not complete playback of 1024 frames cycle execution failure, exiting telling signal thread that the engine is done jack main caught signal 1" Ok, I got one infamous integrated soundcard by VIA, but Jack worked on that when I got version 0.62 (now 0.72.4). Whoa, thanks already! Esa -- Esa Linna <denzo(a)mbnet.fi>

[linux-audio-user] Driver for M-audio Audiophile USB device

by Jelmer Cnossen

Hi, is there anybody who knows about the existence of a Linux driver for the Audiophile USB device by M-Audio? I want to buy this one since the 2 x more expensive Quattro is not affordable in my case (and neither need that much audio in- and outputs), allthough a linux driver seems to exist for the Quattro (written by...?). I mailed M-Audio and they simply reply they do not support Linux for these devices. Only their Delta cards are supported for Linux but the drivers are written by third party developers. Maybe it is possible to modify the Quattro driver such that it works with the Audiophile as well, but I'm not particularly a wizzkid for these things.... Is there anybody who can help me find a solution? thanks in advance, greetz -- Jelmer Cnossen <jelmer(a)cyozlab.com>

RE: [linux-audio-user] Cactus Data Shield copy controlled cd's

by Tracey Hytry

The other evening, when everyone was home from work, Christy asked if I knew who it was that was playing the song she liked on the radio that I had on. I told her to go to www.kfog.com and it will say what is currently playing on their web site. This is a common thing now, to hear something, and if we find the name of the band; to then go look for mp3s on the net of other songs by the same group. If we like the music and feel like listening to it again, we always go out and buy the CDs. We value the quality of the sound we listen to around here, and the compressed stuff on the net isn't really that good anyway. I am getting very concerned about the copy protection in CDs, where they will only play in commercial audio CD players with error correction. I feel like someone is trying to blur what I am able to see out of my windows, because they are worried that I might take a picture. My fear is that some of these CDs may be easily turned into junk by a little mishandling? As an aside. Most of our CD decks have digital outputs that we then connect to the amps. And most of our sound cards in our computers have digital ins. Am I missing something here? Tracey.

Re: Re: [linux-audio-user] hydrogen with jack_transport

[linux-audio-user] I'm frustrated... No MIDI connection with SB Audigy

by Jason Jones

I've been writing and recording music in Windows now for about a year and a half (if you want to hear my music - some mp3's can be found at http://www.ldscompanion.com/music/artists/PI/ )... I got completely sick of windows, and switched to Linux, and for about 5 months now, I've been trying to successfully get my computer to see my keyboard through a Sound Blaster Audigy's front-panel MIDI connectors with no luck. I'm just about to go back to windows. Please - if anyone knows where I can find any good info, point me in the right direction. :) OS - MDK 9.1 Software - MusE .6.0rc5 Hardware - Roland RS-9 keyboard and SB Audigy Platinum EX. Thanks again. Jason
