sorry Ico, i didn't mean the CD covers; there were some "mde in linux" icons i
saw a while ago for use on web sites or album covers and the like. anyone
else seen them ?
best,
g.
Curiously, shortly following the changing of the network card adapter which
brought the consortium Web server back up, the consortium lists are now back
as well. It appears that there is some kind of "umbilical cord" :-P that my
mental radar failed to notice between the two and therefore the listserve
has been for some reason bogged down due to network issues we've been
experiencing on the Web server (which is a rather curious thing since the
Web server has mail service disabled... go figure!).
Well, I am glad that got resolved, sort of :-)

Apologies for the cross-posting -- the consortium listserv that is hosted by
Agnula server continues to refuse forwarding e-mail to its members...
Apropos CD covers for the vol.1, how about taking the image from the
http://lau.linuxaudio.org/faq/ ? IMHO it best portrays the idea of "Tux
Power" without even having to explicitly state the subtitle. So, we could
have the subtitle on the side and the back but perhaps not on the front side
of the cover? Or if we do have it on the front, perhaps making it
intentional small and inconspicuous?

Sounds like you have the PCMCIA card, right?
I use "sudo pccardctl eject" "sudo pccardctl insert" to reinsert the card.
There is no need to physically remove the card in between the commands. So
it's essentially the same as reloading the driver.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Hmmm. I actually meant to say: "after jack_capture starts recording". :-)

jack_capture constantly monitors which jack ports are connected to
the soundcard, so it will record everything you hear, even if fluidsynth
makes the jack connection after it starts playing. After
recorded, you can import the sound into ardour.
jack_capture can be downloaded here: http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/
As an alternative, I think you can use the patchbay in qjackctl as well to
make sure fluidsynth always connects to ardour.
Just to let everyone know, we are experiencing some problems with the
Linuxaudio.org server. As a result, we will have a downtime over the weekend
and possibly a good portion of Monday.
My sincere apologies if this unfortunate development has caused you any
inconvenience. Your patience and understanding in this matter is most
appreciated!
Should you happen to have any additional questions and/or concerns, please
do not hesitate to contact me.

The irony of this is killing me. I had a singing capacitor in my
notebook computer, which I was able to solve using a load generator at a
low scheduling priority. However, that same capacitor is what had
triggered me to get a higher-end sound card in the first place.
Now this higher end sound card has quite a loud hum when the phantom
power for its mic pre-amps is on. Interestingly, when I mix the signals
from both pre-amps by connecting them both to the same outputs in JACK,
the noises from the Mics cancel each other out.
The load generator has no influence on the hum; however, the sampling
rate does. The higher the sampling rate the higher pitched the hum is.
The inverse is true for buffer size: The larger the buffer, the lower
pitched the hum.
My current theory is this: Jack causes a surge of power in the CPU
through an interrupt. This surge gets transformed into current in the
grounding cable through electromagnetic induction, which in turn induces
a current in the microphone pre-amps, which causes the hum. The hums can
cancel each other out because... uh, not the slightest on that one.
Help appreciated.
