No, sorry. I don't have an emu10k1/SBLive, and I have very little spare time
to work in more projects.
And although I've advocated for Pascal, I don't think it is a good idea in
this case to port this code. This program is based on several libraries
property of Creative Labs, and shipped with the windows software for his
SBLive card: SFEDT32.DLL, which allows soundfont edition, and SFMAN32.DLL
which also manages soundfonts, I guess. I've seen more library references in
the code: MYOKENT.DLL and EAPSMAN.DLL among others. Megafont itself seems to
be a GUI front-end for the real engines, and a few more. It is a smart
front-end, though, which implements a handy way to manage soundfonts. Think
of it as something like QSynth for FluidSynth.

Again a silly question but worth the effort :
Jack-rack is a wonderful neat thing for treating live input. Lacks some
presets using LADSPA plugins though... (think Alien Connection Revalver on
windows, for example)
Is there some kind of jack-rack presets repository somewhere near, or one has
still to be created ?

Hi Geoff,
On my way out but here's my latest:
[root@stepdaddy studio]# rpm -qa |grep ffmpeg
ffmpeg-devel-0.4.9-7_cvs20050418.rhfc3.at
ffmpeg-0.4.9-7_cvs20050418.rhfc3.at
imlib-devel-1.9.13-21
imlib-1.9.13-21
imlib2-1.2.0-1.rhfc3.ccrma
imlib2-devel-1.2.0-1.rhfc3.ccrma
With Ardour in sync to jack and as timebase master.
Are you syncing with Ardour or another app? I gave
muse a quick try last nite but had the same results.
Here's xjadeo starting up:
[studio@stepdaddy xjadeo]$ xjadeo vts-test.avi
Input #0, avi, from 'vts-test.avi':
Duration: 00:06:31.8, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 8734
kb/s
Stream #0.0: Video: mpeg4, 720x480, 29.97 fps
original frame rate: nan
length in seconds: 429497
total frames: -2147483648
Maybe I'll try to rebuild xjadeo with the new libs.
That shouldn't make any difference though because we
just link to the libs. Right? And it didn't make any
difference.
I am able to play the above file with mplayer. OK,
gotta run sound for a childrens theatre/choir
production.
Talk to you soon,
ron

I'm off to do a job today, Sat. 14th. This has to a
library issue or something. When you get a moment
could you post your imlib and ffmpeg versions. Here's
mine:
ffmpeg-devel-0.4.9-0.20041110.0.1.rhfc3.ccrma
ffmpeg-0.4.9-7_cvs20050418.rhfc3.at
imlib-devel-1.9.13-21
imlib-1.9.13-21
imlib2-1.2.0-1.rhfc3.ccrma
imlib2-devel-1.2.0-1.rhfc3.ccrma
I'm gonna get the ffmpeg to match up. :) Do you know
what repository you pulled ffmpeg out of?
Thanks for the offer.

I don't have any problems with xjadeo at all on my FC3 setup and I've
installed it about 3 times recently every time with 100% success.I
wonder what's going on ? If you want to compare notes let me know. I've
got a Big Band gig on tonight, but I 'll be back on deck in the studio
tomorrow.
speak soon
Geoff.
After some messing around with libavcodec, I got rid of the
errors i was getting compiling xjadeo before, only to be faced
with more. Now I'm getting:
xjadeo.c: In function `open_movie':
xjadeo.c:377: error: aggregate value used where a float was
expected
xjadeo.c:377: error: structure has no member named
`r_frame_rate_base'
xjadeo.c:408: error: structure has no member named `frame_rate'
and a couple more similar to the last 2 on there. Any ideas?
thanks,
spencer
Greetings:
I recently submitted another article for my monthly column at Linux
Journal on-line, it should show up within the next few days. I wanted to
let LA* folks know that I've placed the article's two short example
files here:
http://linux-sound.org/lj-seq24-examples.html
They aren't finished pieces, nor were they meant to be (though I'm
liking them enough to maybe work on them some more). I made them as
examples of what can be done with seq24 and a batch of Linux softsynths
(and one VST plugin). I had an enormous amount of fun doing these
pieces, and I want to extend great thanks to Rob Buse for seq24 and Nick
Dowell for amSynth.
The state of things in our little world is getting to the point where
it gets harder to write about the stuff because I'd really just rather
be making music with it. Vast thanks to all Linux audio developers for
making dreams come true. You guys rock, every one of you.
Now if I can just get seq24 working with JACK... ;)
Best regards,
Dave Phillips

It is written in Delphi, a Pascal dialect developed by Borland as an object
oriented replacement for his ancient and successful product "Turbo Pascal".
There is a Linux version, Borland Kylix [1]. There is also a GPL-licensed
compiler aimed to be compatible with this dialect: Free Pascal [2].
And why not to choose any language to develop your programs it the language is
suitable for the task?
You can use some arguments like the ones in Kernigham's old diatribe [3]
against Pascal, followed by the other sacred cow [4]. But Delphi/Kylix and
Free Pascal are Pascal descendants without any of the flaws claimed by
Kernigham. You can find similar rants against any language, including C
[5][6].
Here are some rebuttal facts against Kernigham's arguments.
Delphi language has dynamic arrays, where the size is not part of the type
anymore (2.1). It has static and initialized variables (2.2). Forward
declarations and function prototypes (2.3). It allows *fast* separate
compilation (2.4) preserving strong type checking across units. Set types
are powerful and large enough, allowing 'set of char' with 256 elements, and
type declarations are allowed in a function prototype (2.5). There is a cast
mechanism (2.6) similar to Java. It has advanced control flow for loops using
break and continue keywords (3). A powerful runtime library allows you the
use of all the operating system functions, including I/O (4), you can even
use the Glibc library in Kylix and FPC. And finally, you can write ALSA
programs using this language [7], which is why I'm writting this article and
why it is on-topic in this list.

Hi Jody,
I managed to compile a 2.6.12-rc2 kernel on amd64 running pure64/sid. I
used Andrew Morton's mm3 patch and your RT-rlimits patch. i installed
and rebooted into the new kernel.
I got the libpam packages (libpam0g-dev libpam-cracklib libpam-doc) with
apt-get from pure64 repository. Already had libpam0g, libpam-modules,
libpam-runtime.
How do I apply your patch to this PAM stuff. I don't really know where
to start.
Also, I couldn't find the sources, where should I look?
Thanks,
Norv
