[linux-audio-user] configuring streaming music downloads in firefox

by Brian Dunn

Is it possible to configure firefox in such a way that clicking links to .mp3 and .ogg files causes them to play (prefferably in xmms) as they are downloaded? A link to a howto would be just dandy. God Bless, Brian

[linux-audio-user] alternative way of streaming from jack to another computer?

by Robert Persson

While we are waiting for the finishing touches to be put to netjack, I am looking for a way to stream audio from jack to another computer. The computer is an early G3 powerbook running Mac OS 10.3, which I often use to run remote X11 apps from my (relatively) fancy linux box when I'm in the wrong part of the house. I simply want to be able to receive audio from jack on the linux box so I can hear what I am doing. This is for rough work and general noodling, so latency is not a big issue. Nor is getting 32 bit 5 channel 48kHz with extra fancy bass, because that would be kind of lost on this particular powerbook. I suspect it may be something fairly simple that I need, something that may have been talked about several times before on this list. If so, sorry about that. I haven't managed to follow many threads in the last few months because of life and stuff. Many thanks Robert -- Robert Persson Conspiracy Bears: Once upon a time there were lots of conspiracy bears...

[linux-audio-user] [ANN] Shelljam 0.0.4 Overtones Edition! ;)

by Carlo Capocasa

Got a demo n a new release for ya! Check it out! /* http://shelljam.sourceforge.net */ Hi, thanks for reading. Your host-to-brand-new-overrated software, Carlo Capocasa, has his pleasure welcoming you to this group of pixels that mysteriously enough makes sense to you (ask a fly what he has to say of this message). Bzzzz Thought so. /* http://shelljam.sourceforge.net */ In any case, there have been program updates (touchpad controlled Saw Wave Overtones! Ohboyohboyohboy this is great! Couple it with Zyn and... MAAAAAN! This is so awsome :) And, it actually gives you more control than the purchasable hardware bug-prone heavy-to-carry performance-latency-issue knob controlled MIDI hardware out there, because you can control _two MIDI controllers with just one finger_. The world seriously needs laptops with more than one touchpad : Also, on the web site is a little bit of my famous irrevent humor as a goodie (except when you are the target), a brand new mug shot (yes, I do actually look that way, and I have been boxing but I wasn't serious enough about it for it to change my appearence), and a brand new demo of the brand new touchpad controlled overtones saw-wave goodie feature, complete with Zyn patch and S24 live recording. Of course, directly listenable in your beloved OGG Vorbis. /* http://shelljam.sourceforge.net */ Oh yeah and everything in my last smackdown release is fixed, the new MIDI system is really fantastico, and the UI is still nonexistent. DUH. It works though. And the thing looks really great in my mind... cross graphics mode user interface! All this, and of course the program pre-compiled and partly-statically-linked and hence probably readily to use, or also as spiffy simplified source text files if you so prefer, at the same location as always, -> http://shelljam.sourceforge.net Enjoy! Carlo /* http://shelljam.sourceforge.net */ /* Yeah, I really MEAN it! ;) */

[linux-audio-user] alsa with Delta1010: something missing?

by Ruben Lopez

After googling and reading for several hours last nite, I was still unable to find a solution to this, so I decided to give up and just ask. I am trying to get Ardour, Jack and my Delta 1010 working on Ubuntu Dapper Flight 4, but I wonder if I am missing something from alsa. There is also an onboard C-Media sound chip. I can get sound from the C-Media chip, but the only time I hear a sound from the Delta card is when the Ubuntu login screen appears, and only after a reboot. XMMS will play thru the C-Media, but when I try to change to the Delta card, I get the "couldn't open audio" error message. The snd_ice1712 module is loaded. I tried disabling the C-Media chip in the BIOS, but Ubuntu still recognizes and uses it. Here is what happens when I try to run alsamixer or alsa.conf as root: # alsamixer ALSA lib confmisc.c:1107:(snd_func_refer) Unable to find definition 'defaults.ctl.card' ALSA lib conf.c:3493:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such file or directory ALSA lib confmisc.c:242:(snd_func_getenv) error evaluating default ALSA lib conf.c:3493:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_getenv returned error: No such file or directory ALSA lib conf.c:3962:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such file or directory ALSA lib control.c:817:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory # /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf bash: /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf: Permission denied I have tried changing permissions, finally setting /dev/dsp, /dev/mixer and /dev/snd/* to 777. I have alsa-base, alsa-utils and alsa-tools installed. I may not have something alsa needs, but additionally getting a "permission denied" from alsa.conf as root seems to indicate that the file is being used, although I don't know by what. I would really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction with this. Thanks. Ruben

[linux-audio-user] Indigo IO problems

by Jonny Stutters

Hi all, I'm currently attempting to set up an Acer 3220 laptop running Gentoo. The soundcard I'm using is an Echo Indigo IO PCMCIA. The card worked fine with my last laptop and works ok in Windows on the new computer. So it's definitely something to do with Linux on this laptop. The problem is that Linux doesn't seem to see it at all - no mention in dmesg or /var/log/messages apart from an acknowledgment that there's a card in the slot. The internal Intel card and an Edirol UM-2 are seen fine so ALSA is presumably ok (snd-indigoio modprobes without any errors as well). I've tried the Gentoo 2.6.15 kernel and MM sources 2.6.16 with the same results. Also tried ALSA 1.0.10 and 1.0.11. The laptop has a Yenta cardbus bridge which is supported and detected so I don't think that's the issue. To be honest I don't have any idea where to start with solving this problem so any help would be much appreciated. I'm not keen to go down the new hardware route but if anyone does have reports of working configurations with this (or a similar) laptop that'd also be good. Cheers, Jonny www.jeremah.co.uk

does anyone know of instances of big computing power going into making music? Any recordings? Just one of those questions rolling around the head.

Fortunately the help is very helpful, and you can opt for making just the module if you are uncertain.... In my latest effort, with 2.6.15.6, I did manage to get rid of a lot of options. I think especially getting rid of the legacy ISA, EISA, etc. stuff has made the kernel boot much faster. And replacing hotplug with udev has also vastly sped up the init process. > > Ciao > -- > Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org_ __goto10.org__ -- Joel Roth

[linux-audio-user] missing MIDI port

by Ruben Lopez

I have an onboard sound card with a game port. JACK identifies the card as a "C-Media PCI" card. I want to use the game port for my MIDI keyboard, but I'm not sure if JACK is seeing it. I have 2 Delta 1010 cards installed, and JACK shows their MIDI ports, but the only other MIDI port that shows in JACK is called "Midi Through", which doesn't appear to be from the onboard C-Media card, and I get no MIDI signal in Qsynth when I connect it. The card is enabled in the BIOS. Does anyone know how do I get this working? Ruben

[linux-audio-user] DVD-Audio

by Maluvia

We are considering releasing our next album in DVD-Audio format, as well as CD. (This would be high-resolution stereo 192khz) We've found authoring software (both open-source and commercial) that we think will work, but are confused about the hardware player end of things - the audio output in particular. I don't understand if any of today's DVD players, consumer grade or higher, will actually play back that format at it's original resolution given the various copy-protection schemes in place - particularly for the high-res PCM - and whether these files can be output analog or digital or both. Everything I've been reading about it seems to be pretty out of date, and has only served to confuse me further. Is anyone here producing DVD-Audios of this sort? Is this even a viable format anymore or has it already been abandoned in the marketplace? (If this is too OT for the list I'll move it elsewhere, but I'm really interested in what your guys opinion is about it all.) Confused, Maluvia
