Hello everyone.
I decided to upgrade to a 2.6.11 kernel following the advices Maarten de Boer
and Pau Arumi who gave a nice presentation at AES 2005.
I was previously running a 2.6.8 kernel and everything was fine with my Asus
L2000D laptop (SiS soundchip onboard running Trident4D ALSA driver, Evolution
UC33 MIDI controller up and running). The only lack was realtime audio. I never
dared taking the first step into realtime kernel tuning.
I upgraded to the 2.6.11 using make oldconfig and tuning it for realtime
(Security options and other stuff). Compilation went right. I compiled Pd again
and when I tried starting it it froze the whole system: no mouse nor keyboard
control, no X response (no graphical refresh)...
I recompiled the kernel 3 or 4 times changing a few options, recompiled Pd as
well. Nothing changes: complete system freeze.
I'm running a Debian unstable, Fluxbox desktop.
Anyone got a clue on what's wrong?
Alternatively, what benefits will I really earn upgrading from 2.6.8 to 2.6.11?
Maybe I can tune my good old 2.6.8 to do realtime as good as a 2.6.11?
Cheers list.
Hi,

Tyan Tiger Dual AMD
Adaptec Firewire Controler
CoolDrives Dual Master two bay hotswap enclosure with
the Initio bridge
I've given firewire a fair shake. With my hardware it
is unreliable. SBP2 is forever spiting out error
messages. Hotswap events hang the SCSI bus and force
power cycling.
Has anyone used or got opinions on IDE to SCSI
convertors? Here's a link to what I'm looking at
http://www.addonics.com/news/media/2002/100202cnet.asp
I intend to modify the Cooldrives enclosure by
removing the firewire bridges and replacing them with
the SCSI convertors. I'll run the enclosure off one
channel of my ICP Vortex GDT8543RZ four channel RAID
controler.
I expect grey skies to turn blue, bankers to offer low
interest loans and tickets for sporting events. It's
to much to expect a social life so I'll reserve some
optimism. Am I an idiot?

Hi,
QjackCtl 0.2.17 update release is out.
Directly from the change log:
- Systemic I/O Latency settings are now featured for the alsa, oss and
coreaudio backends, letting you specify the known latency of external
hardware for client aware compensation purposes (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl,
for the reminder).
- Update on last backstage changes to the coreaudio backend options (due
to Stéphane Letz. Thanks).
As always, you can grab the source tarball from the usual place:

Enjoy!

First, i whant to say thanks to the developers of OSS audio apps.
I'm having great fun making smal tunes w. my guitars
Ardour,Hydrogen,Muse,Zynaddsubfx,LADSPA and more. I have rebuilt these
and others for Ubuntu if anyone is interested.
My box never goes below 1.0 load when idle when i run my homegrown
realtime-preempt kernel. If i run Ubuntu's stock kernel the load is near
zero. Ardour and jack perform ok, no xruns with my old (-98) SB Live
(10,7msec latency). But the system feels sluggish. I get the same 1+
load when booting with init=/bin/bash too.
Details:
Distro: Ubuntu Warty
2.6.12-rc4 w. realtime-preempt-2.6.12-rc4-V0.7.47-01
Pam patched w. rlimtits. Compiled from steambaloon source.(0.76-24)
Celleron 2.2 and 512 RAM

I was trying to install dssi-vst and I found that the following link for
downloading VST SDK headers is broken.
do you know any alternative?
The VST SDK headers --
http://www.steinberg.net/steinberg/ygrabit/index.html
These are free but not redistributable.
BTW, do you recommend me dssi-vst? Is there a better way to run vst in
linux? Is there any really reliable way to run vst in linux?
today I discovered that csound is planning to release version 5 with a
great plugin VST support but I'm afraid that Linux users won't have the
opportunity to enjoy it ;(

My Seagate Barracuda drives are VERY quiet. My Celeron system
is so quiet that the florescent lights in the room where it is
are louder than the whole system. I have a fan on my Radeon
card too. I got a lot of parts to make that so from Quiet-PC
USA. I'm not affiliated with them in any way, other than being a
satisfied customer.
It's a little discouraging that of the two responses I got for
my quest of which motherboard to buy that can run dual AMD
processors, both of them said that their systems lock up. Two
systems aren't that many, but it sure would be nice to hear from
people with perfectly working systems too. :^)
Happy quiet computing folks....

An EMU rep has informed me that they have agreed to provide the ALSA
project (specifically James) with a hardware sample. They don't seem to
think we'll have much luck reverse engineering a driver. We'll just see
about that.
They mention that they won't be able to dedicate any development
resources to it anytime soon, which makes sense given the widely
reported issues with the Windows driver. The message implied that they
might consider releasing some docs or (IMHO more likely) register info,
but we'd have to make a convincing argument.
Has anyone ever tried to figure out how many Linux audio users there
are?

Hmmm. I have had lots of similar trouble with some Matrox cards. Does your
problem go away if you use the VESA driver? (Don't know if that helps
though)

Sounds like the GFX-card...
