i am trying to install the alsa 0.96 driver with vxpocket support according
to the instructions here:
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php3?company=Digigram&
card=VXpocket+V2&chip=&module=vxpocket
I am in suse 8.2, kernel 2.4.20-4GB
I have the soundcore module installed
under the 'quick install' section I was able to create the directory and
unzip the tar there.
but I get stuck when executing the following line:
./configure --with-cards=vxpocket --with-sequencer=yes;make;make install
after doing a bunch of checks, shell returns the following:
checking for kernel version... The file
/lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB/build/include/linux/version.h does not exist
Please, install the package with full kernel sources for your distribution
or use --with-kernel=dir option to specify another directory with kernel
sources (default is /usr/src/linux).
so I tried it with --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux
and --with-kernel=/lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB/build, neither worked.
At this point, gave up and went looking for a i586 rpm, and installed the
following:
alsa-0.9.6-0.pm.0.i586.rpm
alsa-tools-0.9.6-0.pm.0.i586.rpm
alsa-lib-0.9.6-1.i586.rpm
when I installed the alsa-lib rpm, it said there were some conflicts with
the first one, so i ran it using --force
The vxpocket should apparently be installable thru yasT at this point, but
there still is no module for the vxpocket anywhere. in addition, alsaconf
doesnt run, a window pops up, but then it shuts down.
at this point, I went back to the alsa page, and continued to compile from
source. the libraries installed ok, but when I wen to install the
alsa-utils, it starts, but gets an error, and shell says:
configure: error: this pacage requires a curses library
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile file found. Stop.
make: *** No rule to make target 'install'. Stop.
this is getting really frustrating! any help is appreciated
thanks!

Hi,
I'm noting this evening that on a newer RPWL CD (Stock) with no dead
time between tracks that alsaplayer is making a small, somewhat
frustrating dead spot between each track while I'm listening.
Has anyone else seen this, or am I somehow not setting up something that
would fix this?
This happens with or without using Jack. The driver is a new, unreleased
HDSP 9652 driver if that might make a difference. Alsa is 0.9.6 under
Gentoo.
Thanks,
Mark

http://www.mediascot.org/drift/call/sound.html
Resonant Cities: Call for Sound Works
New Media Scotland seeks sound works for Drift, an exploration of sound art
and experimental music which comprises live events, radio broadcasts, moving
image and publications. We are seeking sound works for 'Resonant Cities':
Internet radio streaming that explore the sonic identity of our surrounding
space and that engage with the fragmented 'noise' of the city soundscape:
people, traffic, communication intrusions, mobile phones, radio traffic,
city wildlife, buildings...
We are particularly interested in audio works which involve one or several
of the following ideas or processes:
- Acoustic Ecology
- Acousmatics
- Phonography
- Sonic research
- Radio art, Internet radio
- Microsound
- Lowercase sound
- Internet communication media and audio streaming
- Electronic communities
- Artists' software for sound and music
- Sound work developed using open source processes and principles
- Generative sound
- Sound archives
- Spoken word / oral history
- Field recordings
- The re-purposing / representing of existing analogue sound recordings,
such as amateur recordings, scientific recordings, and accidental, lost or
abandoned recordings
The works selected by the Drift team will then be curated into themed
streams that will be available via this web site.
Our intention is to expand the audience for the work, encourage appreciation
of sound art, and broaden access to a genre which is too often labelled as
esoteric and inaccessible.
We cannot pay a fee for this opportunity, but we will facilitate the
broadcast of your work.
Eligibility
- Open to artists, musicians, producers in the UK and across the globe.
DEADLINE: 31 OCTOBER 2003

"Welcome and explore and inquire into everything, new or old, that comes
your way, and then build your own music on whatever your inner life has been able
to take in and offer you back again." - Henry Cowell
"Music is by no means like the other arts, namely a copy of the Ideas, but a
copy of the will itself, the objectivity of which are the Ideas. For this
reason, the effect of music is so very much more powerful and penetrating than is
that of the other arts, for these others speak only of the shadow, but music
of the essence." - Schopenhauer, _The World as Will and Representation_
"His music, far from being in the background of my life, was in the
foreground. It was he as a musician who accomplished what I dreamed of, and
I followed as well as I could with the inferior power of words. The ear is
purer than the eye, which reads only relative meaning into words. Whereas
the distillation of experience into pure sound, a state of music, is
timeless and absolute." -Anais Nin on her brother Joaquin Nin-Culmell
"...improvisation is about change, about flux rather than stasis. ...
improvisation is about a constant change." - Steve Beresford
improvisation: "a process of liberation, a working around the assumptions
that define our civilization, and the results are open-ended." - John Berndt
Improvisation resists documentation - it celebrates the ephemeral, it
perversely reminds us every second that everything dies. Much of the "modern
Westernized world" isn't ready for this kind of news.

hi there,
i'm using debian sid, kernel 2.4.22 (just grabbed it yesterday). i was
running the stock debian 2.4.18bf.24 kernel, perhaps i'll try to go back
to compile against that one. but i figured the emi 2|6 loading was
handled by the kernel itself after 2.4.19 so i would be able to get it
work without alsa (which i've never had much luck installing) on a
2.4.22 kernel.
any help is always appreciated!
best,
nick

slightly off topic, but I am configuring this for audio, so here goes.
I installed suse 8.2 to a partiotion that was too small, after I realized
it, i expanded the sizer of it using partition magic, and it worked, linux
still botts and everything. using the yast partition utility, it shows the
new size,(until I try to edit it, it shows the old size) It is incorrect in
the lower left-hand corner where it shows the mounted volume space. I also
keep getting error messages reporting the old size when I go to install new
programs, and if I try to go adjust the size of the partition using yast, it
reports the old size. It seems like there would be a really elementary fix
for this.
thanks,
jamie
greetings list,
i'm attempting to get my emagic usb emi 2|6 card working with a debian
linux install on a powerbook g3. i've recompiled the current kernel for
emi 2|6 support as a loadable module, and it loads fine -- all the green
lights are on to indiciate it's working ok. i also loaded the usb audio
module, soundcore, and removed the module for internal soundcard support
since i don't really plan on using it.
so everything looks like it's working great, but i can't get any sound
output from anything - xmms, pd, audacity, etc. xmms complains of
'permission denied', but i tried 'chmod 666 /dev/dsp' to no avail. i
also disabled all sound servers (eds, artsd) to make sure no program was
claiming the soundcard, and did an 'fuser /dev/dsp', nothing shows up.
most other programs complain that "/dev/dsp: no such device exists." am
i missing a step? should the emi be outputting through /dev/dsp or some
other device?
i tried the alsa route, but apparently the alsa modules don't install
against the 2.4.22 kernel? i get a bunch of errors about undefined
symbols in the usb audio section, everything else seems to compile ok.
so i guess i'll try the OSS route if possible..
thanks in advance for any help,
best,
nick
hello friends,
i'm searching for a card with just digital i/o to connect to an external
converter. budget is critical. one possibility we've thought of is the
dio2448, but i've seen also the edirol UA-1D USB:
http://www.edirol.com/products/info/ua1d.html
i couldn't find it in the list supported by alsa, but perhaps it's because
it's still new. any comments on this? any other suggestion in that price
range?
thank you.

I have just installed the Planet on my linux partition and have started in to reading the jack and alsa user documentation.
I want to do some basic composition and aranging in midi. I was thinking that I would use MusE with Fluidsynth and various soundfonts. At this point I am not trying to input any external signals from guitars, hardware synths, mics, etc.
I noticed that MusE gives an option to use Alsa only or to use Jack (which I assume would be in combination with Alsa as a driver). Any opinions whether it is worth going to the trouble of learning to use jack with MusE to import, modify, create and playback midi tracks?
Thanks,
Barton
Hello.
This is probably a bit off-topic. Anyway, I just wanted to write a simple
alsa mixer app (for learning purposes) and wondered if there is some kind
of a high level alsa-lib interface, as it seems to me quite 'deep down'.
The documentation isn't too good either. As I am completely new to this
stuff, I would greatly appreciate any help.
Thanks.
