The default -d parameter was changed to "hw:0" in Oct. of 2003. -- joq

[linux-audio-user] Enabling joystick under alsa

by Barton Bosch

I'm trying to configure a joystick so I can use it as an Mplayer transport control. The first complication is that the actual machine that I need to use it on has no gameport for its onboard soundcard. Under the assumption that I can add an adapter card with a gameport (an inexpensive pci soundcard or gameport adapter card) I proceeded to test a previously untested second hand joystick for functionality and linux compatibility on a secondary machine that does have a gameport. The primary box (no gameport) runs FC2, a 2.6 kernel with ALSA. The secondary box runs RH 9 with alsa added on through Planet CCRMA, the soundcard is a yamaha (ymf701 I think) which uses the snd-ymfpci module. The joystick is a Gravis Blackhawk. Having failed to get the input device detected (jstest /dev/js0) under linux I resorted to windoze and managed to test and calibrate it as a Gravis Analog Pro device, so I am fairly sure that it's the analog flavor of Blackhawk. In reading some ALSA docs I found that the gameport needs to be enabled at the alsa soundcard module's compile time but I have no idea how to check whether it is enabled in the module. Beyond that I'm not sure which modules need to be loaded. My impression is that joydev and maybe analog are the relevant modules but I'd appreciate any tips or further info. Thanks, Barton

Thanks. I've listened to that piece with that in mind, and an idea for a bridge section is floating around in my head now... :) > > Hope this is constructive, if not true :-) Definitely helpful. *All* the feedback I've had from people has been useful. Working in isolation makes it really hard to notice everything, and limited experience means there are things that simply don't cross my mind until somebody else points them out. All these comments are going down into a list that I'll read over and think about with every piece I write until they become second nature to me. > > I was captivated. > > kind regards, > > Luke Thanks for taking the time to listen and respond Luke. It is most definitely appreciated and encourages me to keep trying. Regards, Stuart

[linux-audio-user] SoundFont and Patch Resource?

by John Check

Is there any sort of distribution channel set up for patches to run on all of the glorious linux audio apps? It would be pretty cool to have a library of cleared instruments/samples for the community to build on. Patches for some of the advanced synths could also be available. There's a lot of potential for legal issues, but I'm thinking the EFF would be interested in this kind of thing. J

[linux-audio-user] Ardour manual

by Noah Roberts

The website says that when the manual is finished it will be available for sale. The download of the free scrambled version says it was last revised more than a year ago. Is this thing ever going to be done?!
