Hello all,
I've got an odd one here - I'm trying to upgrade ALSA on a Mandrake
9.1 box. I did this before on another (upgraded to 0.9.2) and it
worked fine, but on this one upgrading the RPMs seems to have no
effect.
I installed these RPMs with urpmi:
libalsa2-0.9.5-1mdk.i586.rpm
libalsa-data-0.9.5-1mdk.i586.rpm
kernel-multimedia-source-2.4.21-0.16mdk.i586.rpm
But if I do:
service alsa restart
I get:
Shutting down ALSA sound driver (version 0.9.0rc8): [ OK ]
Starting ALSA version 0.9.0rc8: cs46xx. [ OK ]
I've tried rebooting.
Any clues? Have I missed something obvious here?
Thanks
Daniel
JACK RELEASE 0.80.0
JACK is a low-latency audio server, written primarily for the GNU/Linux
operating system. It can connect a number of different applications to
an audio device, as well as allowing them to share audio between
themselves. Its clients can run in their own processes (ie. as normal
applications), or can they can run within the JACK server (ie. as a
"plugin").
JACK is different from other audio server efforts in that it has been
designed from the ground up to be suitable for professional audio work.
This means that it focuses on two key areas: synchronous execution of
all clients, and low latency operation.
CHANGES:
New transport API (details (of a sort) below).
new example client for control the transport.
ignoring of first xrun on jackd startup.
Much more portable across processors (details below).
jackd -v (--verbose) now prints useful transport state change
information for debugging JACK and clients. Also reports timeout info
in seconds, not microseconds now.
new dummy driver (along side the existing alsa and portaudio drivers).
Removed incomplete Solaris driver.
support for asymmetric soundcards (for example, es1968 chip has
interleaved stereo for playback but non-interleaved stereo for capture).
Now enforces power of two sized buffer lengths.
Many minor bug fixes.
DETAILS:
The new transport API:
It has greatly changed; if you're a developer, please see the
documentation. But as a highlight: jack_set_transport_info() and
jack_engine_takeover_timebase(), (the old timebase master interfaces)
now do nothing. Instead, use jack_set_timebase_callback().
Portability:
<jack/types.h> typedefs are now defined using the C99 standard
fixed-size integer typedefs. These new typedefs are binary compatible
with 32-bit platforms, but not 64-bit machines.
Programs using printf on these values will get GCC compiler
warnings. To suppress the warnings, use the corresponding C99
printf specifications defined in <inttypes.h>. That header is already
implicitly included by <jack/types.h>, but can also be
included explicitly to maintain compatibility with older versions
of JACK without messy #ifdef's. Adding explicit casts will also
work, but may suppress future warnings you might want to see.
jack_get_sample_rate() now returns jack_nframes_t rather than
unsigned long. These are the same on 32-bit machines, but not on
64-bit platforms.
These changes were made to accommodate the increasingly popular 64-bit
platforms; specifically, the new Opteron with it's 32-bit compatibility
mode. 32-bit mode probably won't work, but if all programs are compiled
as 64-bit (which Jack supports), it should work fine.

I'm currently setting up an audio system on Debian sarge.
The system will be used for audio work only.
My sound hardware is RME Multiface and the PCI card.
Of course I want ALSA and JACK.
I wonder which kernel version I should try first, 2.4.?? (which one)
or a 2.6.0 test kernel? I'm fine with kernel source from kernel.org
and don't need a debianised kernel source.
Please let me know which patches are needed (like lowlat, preemt)
for the kernel version in question, as this is not clear to me.
I know this question shows that I'm not very well informed about
the different kernels, but I *do* like learning ;-)
Thanks a lot for your help!

1. A short summary of changes
A set of severe bugs in audio mixing code have been fixed.
Pyecasound build process has been improved. Reporting chainsetup
parsing errors has been improved significantly. Support for
the JACK 0.80 transport interface has been added. Support for
reading and writing aiff, snd and au files has been fixed.
Changes have been made to ensure correct operation with
the NPTL package recently added to Linux kernel and glibc.
A serious bug in metronome timing was fixed. Minor bugs
in dynamic sample rate changes, MIDI-server initialization
and the ewf file format have been fixed.
---
2. What is Ecasound?
Ecasound is a software package designed for multitrack audio
processing. It can be used for simple tasks like audio playback,
recording and format conversions, as well as for multitrack effect
processing, mixing, recording and signal recycling. Ecasound supports
a wide range of audio inputs, outputs and effect algorithms.
Effects and audio objects can be combined in various ways, and their
parameters can be controlled by operator objects like oscillators
and MIDI-CCs. A versatile console mode user-interface is included
in the package.
Ecasound is licensed under the GPL. The Ecasound Control Interface
(ECI) is licensed under the LGPL.

3. Changes since last release
* Support for JACK 0.80 transport interface. The recently
released JACK 0.80.0 marks another milestone for Linux audio
development. The new transport interface allows concurrent use
of multiple independent audio applications with full
sample-accurate transport synchronization. This release of
Ecasound provides full support for the new transport API.
See the following links to ecasound-list postings that
give examples of how to use Ecasound with the new transport API:
http://eca.cx/ecasound-list/2003/08/0005.htmlhttp://eca.cx/ecasound-list/2003/08/0070.html
* Metronome timing bug. There was a subtle bug in the
pulse gate operator that is used to generate the
metronome signal. This bug caused a small (<0.5%) timing
error in metronome speed. The bug has been fixed, but the
change in speed might cause problems for working with
sessions recorded with previous versions of Ecasound.
Thanks to Carsten Bauer for finding the bug.
Full list of changes is available at
<http://www.wakkanet.fi/~kaiv/ecasound/history.html>.

4. Interface and configuration file changes
Libecasound interface version number was incremented to 11.
This release is backwards compatible with interface
versions 9 and 10. See 'ecasound/libecasound/ChangeLog'
for a detailed list of changes.
Libkvutils interface version number was incremented to 6.
This release is backwards compatible with versions 5 and 4.
See 'ecasound/kvutils/ChangeLog' for a detailed list of changes.
Note! Using libecasound and libkvutils outside Ecasound has
been discouraged since the release of 2.2.0 in Jan 2003. The
interface changes introduced in this 2.3.0 release should
only affect a small group of distributors and developers.
Apps such as Ecamegapedal need to be recompiled only if
you want to take advantage of the new features introduced
in the latest Ecasound release.

Audio software for Linux!
Hi,
When I run the Benno Sennoner's Latencytest utility on an unpatched
2.4.22 kernel I get the same results that I get with a patched 2.4.21.
Does the 2.4.22 kernel have a low latency improvement built-in?
Regards,
Luis Pablo Gasparotto
