[linux-audio-user] Get transport timing from ardour?

by Steve Fosdick

Is there any way to get ardour to tell another application how far it is through a track? I tried looking at the jack transport API but that seems to report that the transport is stopped even when ardour is playing. TiA, Steve.

[linux-audio-user] USB-audio-card notches

by Christoph Eckert

Hi, it's easter time, so I play a bit with aeolus ;-) . Anyway, I have a Dell Inspiron 8200 with a vanilla 2.6.10 kernel. The only patch applied is the LSM-RT-patch. The Inspiron offers a USB 1.1 port. A USB 2.0 hub is connected to it. On the hub, there are currently two USB devices: * A Midisport 8x8 * A Terratec Aureon 5.1 USB On top of the card, I start JACK. I tried various settings, currently I use /usr/bin/jackd -v -R -P5 -p16 -t2000 -dalsa -dplughw:2 -r48000 -p256 -n3 -P As soon as I play through JACK, I get notches, regardless if it was alsa modular synth, Aeolus or xmms. The log shows lines like the ones attached below. So I stopped JACK and tried to use the device in ALSA only mode. * xmms now plays fine on the device hw:2,0 * ams and aeolus produce a lot of xruns and I get no audio output using hw:2,0 * when starting ams as ams --soundcard plughw:2,0 --rate 48000 I get a lot of xruns again and the sound is worse (more notches) as when running ams or Aeolus on top of JACK * notches also appear as soon as I try to record audio input using qarecord connected to JACK * when using plughw:2,0 and a samplerate of 48000 (44100 will not work) in the aeolusrc, I get proper output at least by Aeolus I could need a helping hand by making the card working properly. Anyone an idea where I can put the screwdriver? I did also have a look into the modinfo of snd-usb-audio, but I cannot detect a parameter to tell it, mybe, to use a samplerate of 48000 or similar settings: modinfo snd-usb-audio author: Takashi Iwai <tiwai(a)suse.de> description: USB Audio license: GPL parm: index:Index value for the USB audio adapter. parm: id:ID string for the USB audio adapter. parm: enable:Enable USB audio adapter. parm: vid:Vendor ID for the USB audio device. parm: pid:Product ID for the USB audio device. parm: nrpacks:Max. number of packets per URB. parm: async_unlink:Use async unlink mode. vermagic: 2.6.10ce SMP PENTIUMII 4KSTACKS gcc-3.3 depends: snd-usb-lib,snd-pcm,snd Every wee small hint (even RTFM ;-) is much appreciated.

[linux-audio-user] ALSA - Switching playback streams between devices

by David Beaumont

I have a server with 3 soundcards in. Each card is (or at least will be) wired to a different room in my house. I want to be able to have N playback streams playing independently (where for sanity N <= 3) and be able to choose which rooms each stream plays in. I could have one stream in every room, or a different stream in each room. I want to be able to switch this configuration dynamically during playback without interruption (ie, so that music can 'follow you' through the house). I thought that to achieve this I would set up a series of ALSA plugins something like this diagram (best viewed in fixed font): Playback Streams (N=2): P1 P2 v v | | Share Plugin (dshare?): S1 S2 __/ | \__ __/ | \__ / | \ / | \ Volume (softvol?): V1,1 V1,2 V1,3 V2,1 V2,2 V2,3 | \__ \ __/ _/ | | ____\___/ \____/___ | | ___/ \__ _/ \___ | |/ \/ \| Mixer (dmix?): M1 M2 M3 | | | v v v Output: hw:0 hw:1 hw:2 Now firstly, if there's a better way to do this (Jack for example) then fine, this is only a guess on my part. Secondly, the main stumbling block I have hit so far is that softvol won't initialise unless I give it a card number to bind with. This kind of doesn't make sense to me. I appreciate that amixer needs a device to find the volume control on, but I also don't have a 1 to 1 relationship between volume controls and the number of devices. When I have tried setting up a test softvol instance, it sort of works, in that the control is visible on the device, but it shows its limits as "0 - 0" and won't left me modify it in any way. I think that I've probably misunderstood the role that softvol plays, but given that there's hardly any documentation on it, I just can't be sure. If anyone has a sample asoundrc that uses a softvol instance like this (and not just as a surrogate for chipsets that don't support hw volume control) then I'd be very interested. Any and all help or advice appreciated. David.

[linux-audio-user] Re: public apology and withdrawal

rude?? really? why? after years of having to sift through spam all the time and losing real mails in the spam folders, i'm paranoid about releasing my real address onto the web in any form. so far i think i've only received the brute force type mails to my real address, where they just guess your address, and, of course, the few that get sent to my disposable addresses. 20 per day!?? eek! sounds like a huge pain to me. i've received exactly 10 spams since feb 28th (today is march 29th), all of which are to disposable addresses (from mailing lists like this one) and i can delete the address if someone big decides to put one on their list and send me tons of internet pharmaceutical mailings. i think it's a nice way to operate.
