Yes, those demos are fantastic. And thars' the rub--this is not just a
non-free product but quite an expensive one (though it might be worth every
penny to someone doing classical or orchestral music!!). Developers have to
gage both the difficulty of port and the profit potential. Most Linuxers like
their stuff free (opensource, gnu, etc.) and will rarely shell out this kind
of bread.
This is not the only problem keeping windows 98 on my computer for music
production. Hardware support is lacking for my audio interface (Dman2044).
The software I use: Jammer, Home Studio and Ntonyx Style Enhancer (this one
will get you some of the realism in Synful and teamed up with it, who
knows!!--I have contacted Ntonyx about this product.) will doubtless not be
ported and will not run with WINE.
It is possible to get VSTs running in Linux. Ardour is an audio-only but nice
program if one can figure out its UI. Rosegarden is getting there. Tracktion
way well get going under WINE. But I am still stuck in Win98.
A cheap, straightforward approach

There is another way to do it by modulating the audio sources onto a coax wire
and using a TV or VCR to tune in the source that you want. This is very easy
for non-techinal people to figure out, but it doesn't sound as good.
Here's the really cool Linux approach you're looking for:
A linux server with an RME HDSP card (12 stereo inputs on 3 ADAT ports), 3
8-channel A/D converters, and some kind of software (icecast?) to serve up
those 12 stereo streams in near-realtime. The clients would be made up of an
embedded fanless Via EPIA mobo (analog or digital stereo outputs) with a
touchscreen and some client software (MythTV or even XMMS).
If there are any investors out there who want to make this work, give me a
call!

Downloaded the Demudi iso and burned with K3b to sucessfull result {at
least I think it was a good is and burn}
Booting from the CD produces a splash screen then loading
vmlinuz....loading init {or whatever} then =}
CRC error
--system Halted.
Anyone know what this is caused by? THis is the 1.2 release of Demudi.
A sin it is ....a musician writing emails to a mailing list on new years
eve!!! :)

I have googled, search, tried the surround51.conf as .asoundrc, but
whatever I did, I didn't get 6 writable inputs in jack.
The cmipci is built-in on an ASUS A7V333.
If anyone with that configuration has managed to get 6 channels in
jack, could that person kindly share his (or her) config with me?
A RTFM with a hint to the Fine Manual would be appreciated too.
A "dummies guide to how to get 6 channels to show up in qjackctl"
would be the best.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Bye, J
