Put "alsactl restore" somewhere in your bootup sequence - check in /etc/rc.d/init.d. You can also put "alsactl store" in one of the shutdown scripts to save the last state. This may already be in the halt script (it is on FC3). Jan

[linux-audio-user] fst configuration on FC2

by Brad Fuller

Trying to install fst: When executing: ./autogen.sh I receive warnings about underquoted definitions. Looking further, Redhat informs that aclocal 1.8 warns about underquoted calls. Ok, probably already talked about here (couldn't find info) and, I don't know anything about these macros. What should I change for no warnings?

[linux-audio-user] Fwd: [Fwd: Wiki Spam Report]

by Hans Fugal

There have been some differing opinions on whether a wiki will attract spam and what to do about it. Here's a message about what the RubyGarden wiki has experienced and done. Some of you may be familiar with Ruby, and know that it is an extremely cool language but not (yet) as popular as other languages like perl, python, Java, etc. If you haven't heard of it, well that just attests to its not being a major player in the language market (yet). Yet they struggle with wiki spam. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Jim Weirich" <jim(a)weirichhouse.org> To: comp.lang.ruby Date: Tue, 14 Dec 2004 03:21:02 +0900 Subject: Wiki Spam Report Wiki Spam Report ---------------- I thought I would take some time and report on the wiki spam situation on RubyGarden. As I hope you have noticed, the wiki has been remarkably spam free. This email will tell you what measures we have taken to get to this point. But first ... Some Numbers ------------ Over the past 10 days, we have had: 93 updates to the wiki page, all (AFAICT) spam free. (although I might have missed spotting some). 46 updates to the wiki tarpit. Of those, we had ... 3 innocent updates 2 questionable updates 1 update by me 40 spams The Mechanism ------------- Spammers are automatically routed to a wiki tarpit. The tarpit is an (almost) exact copy of the real RubyGarden wiki. Making changes to the tarpit looks as if you are making changes to the real wiki. And since spammers get their pages from the wiki, it looks like (to them) that they have successfully spammed our site. However, everyone else never gets to see the spam. By tricking the spammers into thinking they are successful, they don't put any additional effort into bypassing our spam detection criteria. This is important! When we explicitly denied them access to the wiki, then went to great lengths to figure out how to get around the restrictions. I haven't seen any of that kind of probing with the tarpit. Detecting Spammers ------------------ The current spammer detection logic is based on two observations: (1) Spammers almost never use an IP address that has reverse lookup enabled. This effectively means that it appears (to the wiki software) that your host name looks like a numeric IP address. (2) Spammers almost never set user preferences on the wiki. So if both of these conditions are true, we treat the access as a spammer and send it to the tarpit. Now this isn't perfect, but that's OK. We also have a explicit ban list for spammers who pass one of (1) or (2) above. And we have an explicit allow list that overrides the automatic spammer detection. Innocent Users -------------- Can innocent users get trapped by the Tapit? The short answer is yes. However, we are monitoring the tarpit and will attempt to rescue such users. In the past 10 days, there were at least 3 page updates that were from innocent users. One guy (bless his heart) even removed some spam from the tarpit for us. When I see innocents trapped in the tarpit, I add their IP address to the allow list and manually update the wiki with their changes (if they are significant). Detecting the Tarpit? --------------------- The tarpit is deliberately designed to look like the original wiki, so it is sometimes difficult to tell when you are trapped. Here's some suggestions. You are probably in the Tarpit when: * there are a lot of recent updates made with numeric IP addresses rather than host names. * a lot of the pages have spam. Although neither of these suggestions are foolproof. I refresh the tarpit from the real wiki occasionally (to keep it looking realistic). Immediately after a refresh it is /very/ difficult to tell the difference. If you think you are trapped by the tarpit, send me (jim(a)weirichhouse.org) an email with your IP address and I will check the logs. If you are trapped, we can add your IP address to the allow list. If you are worried about getting caught in the tarpit, just make sure you have your user preferences set when accessing the tarpit (click on the preferences link from any wiki page). Summary ------- I am pretty happy with the current wiki situation. In fact, the tarpit has been so successful, that I am considering lifting the ban on lower case http. The ban currently isn't buying us any benefits and is rather annoying (I'll make it so both upper and lower case work). Thanks for your time. -- -- Jim Weirich jim(a)weirichhouse.org http://onestepback.org ----------------------------------------------------------------- "Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it." -- Donald Knuth (in a memo to Peter van Emde Boas)

[linux-audio-user] LADSPA Compressor plugins

by Christian Schumann

Hi, I've been looking intro LADSPA compressor plugins last night, but didn't quite find what I was searching for. Perhaps someone can point me in the right direction. What I found were Steve Harris' SC plugins which are really nice, but only the SC4 has graphical displays of amplitude and gain reduction. I was looking for something like the SC1 feature-wise, but with these two displays. Regards, Christian -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dipl.-Phys.

[linux-audio-user] Re: [ANN] Downloadable Linux Audio Live CD ISO

by Juhana Sadeharju

>the Linux Audio Live CD as published by german >Keyboards (www.keyboards.de) is now available at > >ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/live-cd-9.2/SUSE-Linux-9.2-LiveCD-Audio.iso How does it work practically? Does it re-partition the disk? I already understood that the CD itself is used as the root disk, but I wonder where the files are written to. The Audio-Linux CD/DVD is a good idea. How about including a sound and loop library to the CD so that users may start making music immediately? That kind of software packages are already sold to Windows, e.g., by Magix. But using Linux and without installation procedures would make the product much better. Suse could sell these DVDs for 10 euros which is quite attractive price for having fun (DVD movies are sold with that price very good). Even I would as Linux user benefit from such CD/DVD because I have installation problems, and I actually don't want waste time for installation. I could use the Audio-Linux from CD/DVD when I want make music. Sure, one could install full Suse, but Audio-Linux CD/DVD would be much convenient and easier to use and check out. What do you think? Of course, Fun-Linux could have both audio and graphics apps, including games. Juhana -- http://music.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/linux-graphics-dev for developers of open source graphics software

[linux-audio-user] re: FM7

by Dave Phillips

Greetings: Well, I gave FM7 1.02 a brief whirl this morning. It works, but not well enough to call it truly usable, at least on my machine. A few notes: The plugin didn't work with jack_fst. I received an error stating the plugin couldn't be instantiated. The program could be run under WINE 20031118, I haven't tested it with other versions of WINE. I was able to play it via my MIDI keyboard after setting the MIDI input port from within FM7 itself. Parameter changes, program changes, and menu selections only updated after I played a key on my keyboard. Latency was awful. Perhaps it would work better on a faster machine. The sounds I tested were neat. FM7 has a lot of interesting parameters not found on my TX802. So, thanks to all for the information. I'll keep playing with the program, and I'll try to get the plugin working. Is it better than my 802s ? Well, I've programmed a lot of custom patches on the 802 and I'm familiar with its capabilities. Since I'm *not* familiar with FM7 at all, I see I have a lot of learning to do with it before I can have an informed opinion. Btw, for the retail list price of this software you can purchase multiple TX802s from eBay. You could probably buy two TG77s for the money. Best, dp

[linux-audio-user] system plays cdrom, put not audio files

by ed orphan

Asus A7N8X motherboard on-board sound circuit. nForce2 AC97 Audio Controler Slackware 10 kernel 2.4.26 ALSA KDE Control sound system is set to autodetect The sound worked 2 days ago, but then, bang! Won't play audio files no more. Somebody ( not me! ) must have goofed up somewhere. ( Well, maybe me, I don't know ) The cdrom plays audio CDs Ok with KDE KsCD player so I know something is working right. But the nForce2 AC97 sound mixer must have AUX set high. The Master Volume and PCM on the mixer have no effect on cd-rom volume. But no programs play audio files, including the usual KDE system sounds the mouse used to make. I have checked all the /dev devices and they all look good. The correct driver ( snd-intel8x0) is loaded. When KDE starts it gives an error message: "Sound server Error while initializing the sound driver device fault can't be opened for playback ( no such device) The sound server will continue, using the null open device." /usr/bin/audacity in KDE gives this warning when starting up: "There was an error initializing the audio I/O layer. You will not be able to play or record audio." Try to play a loaded file and audacity says: "Error while opening sound device. Please check the output device settings and project sample rate." The Gnome Wave Cleaner is also silent and hangs when I press the play button. The Sox play comamnd is silent. I have tried all kinds of changes to /etc/modules.conf to the ALSA settings and used the alsaconf command a few times too, but my knowledge is limited and nothing good happens. This is my /etc/modules.conf # --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- # --- ALSACONF verion 1.0.5 --- alias char-major-116 snd alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0 # --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- These are my loaded modules ( lsmod ) Module Size Used by Not tainted snd-seq-midi 3488 0 (autoclean) (unused) snd-seq-midi-event 3264 0 (autoclean) [snd-seq-midi] snd-seq 33424 0 (autoclean) [snd-seq-midi snd-seq-midi-event] snd-pcm-oss 37736 0 snd-mixer-oss 12504 0 [snd-pcm-oss] usb-ohci 19240 0 (unused) ehci-hcd 17580 0 (unused) usbcore 59308 1 [usb-ohci ehci-hcd] forcedeth 9164 1 snd-intel8x0 18924 0 gameport 1420 0 [snd-intel8x0] snd-pcm 56072 0 [snd-pcm-oss snd-intel8x0] snd-timer 13604 0 [snd-seq snd-pcm] snd-page-alloc 6328 0 [snd-intel8x0 snd-pcm] snd-ac97-codec 49500 0 [snd-intel8x0] snd-mpu401-uart 3200 0 [snd-intel8x0] snd-rawmidi 12740 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-mpu401-uart] snd-seq-device 3888 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-seq snd-rawmidi] snd 30852 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq snd-pcm-oss s$ soundcore 3396 4 [snd] ide-scsi 9328 0 agpgart 43940 0 (unused) One day it works great, the next day its crap.
