Hi!
I'm looking for suggestions and comments on running Linux on PPC with the
intention of making an audio box. I'm intersted in suggestions for distros and
kernels, etc. I've got a Powerbook G4 17 that I'm dual booting with OSX and
Yellowdog, but I'm looking for something better.
Thanks!
Matt

I've got a Tascam US122 that has worked fairly well out of the box
with a dell inspiron laptop running FC3/CCRMA.
MIDI did work but now doesn't. It shows up in QJackCtl's window, but
no MIDI signals are passed through; even more telling, the MIDI IN LED
on the unit doesn't light. I've tested the controller with a BCR2000
and it works fine; have also tried another controller with the Tascam.
Again, the ports are apparently recognized by ALSA - in addition,
audio works fine. I'm guessing it's a hardware failure of the Tascam,
and I'll need to replace the unit, but I wanted to ask if you all can
think of anything else linux-related I'm not thinking of.
I don't think I've done any recent upgrades - if so, I did about a
month ago. I don't use MIDI with the machine much, but had been
planning to in the future.
Thanks!

I'm trying to get beatroot to run on a system based on Suse 10 (but with
many audo and MIDI apps recompiled from source to get later versions).
I am having dificulties due to the fact that I have the JRE version 1.4
installed, which I want to keep, but beatroot needs 1.3.
I have made some progress; I installed JRE 1.3 from the sources from
Sun, but am not sure how in general have JRE 1.3 coexist with 1.4. I
have gotten to the point where beatroot runs, but fails to find the
shared java libs.
Any help from someone who has gone through a similar setup would be much
appreciated.
Thanks

HEJ!
problem:
firefox dont cares about mozplugger at all!
I tried to get mozplugger working. (reason: I want to play Realaudio
with mplayer and jack)
MozPlugger version 1.7.3
with
Mozilla Firefox 1.0.7, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2005 mozilla.org
in firefox "about:plugins" is showing;
MozPlugger 1.7.3 handles QuickTime Windows Media Player Plugin
and the list of MIME types ...
and Java(TM) Plug-in 1.5.0_06-b05
I have mozpluggerrc in /etc
problem:
but still firefox dont cares about mozplugger at all!
( I deleted pluginreg.dat also before starting firefox)
a click on e.g
http://www.sr.se/cgi-bin/p3/programsidor/index.asp?ProgramID=953
results in the question if I want to use
gxine for opening file.ram
ore others are resulting in "you have to install a plugin"
have you any idea how can get this working?
I tried also mplayer -ao jack in mozpluggerrc :
define(MP_CMD,[mplayer -ao jack -really-quiet -nojoystick -nofs -zoom -vo
xv,x11 -ao esd,alsa,oss,arts,null -osdlevel 0 $1 </dev/null])
thank you in advance

Hi,
On my laptop, I'm running ubuntu dapper. Using the 2.15.18 kernel, all my audio applications work great OOTB. Very few xruns. With the latest two kernels (2.15.19 and 2.15.20), when I start jack using qjackctl, it immediately starts reporting xruns at the rate of about 10 per second - and this is with no applications running at all. I'm not sure about how to go about debugging this.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Bill
Hello i have si7012 onboard soundcart, which runs without any
problems under alsa.
But doesn't work with jackd.
Sofar i don't get a error from jackd when starting, the jackd runs
smotly and accepts also input from application,
Alsamixer shows also that master and pcm lines are up.
The soundcard works with alsa but not when i use jackd so i guess the
problem is related to jackd, what makes no sense to me since i think the
alsa API
should be totally transparent to jackd regardingless which soundcard is
used.
Any idea what could be my problem?
version of alsa and jack (debian versions)::
alsa-base:
Installed: 1.0.10-3
alsa-utils:
Installed: 1.0.10-1
jackd:
Installed: 0.100.7-1
jack-tools:
Installed: 0.0.2-4
qjackctl:
Installed: 0.2.19a-1
kernel-image-2.6.8-2-386:
Installed: 2.6.8-16sarge1

This composition is progressing well. It still isn't complete (no drum
track) but all the instruments are more or less sorted now. Melody and
chord sequences cleaned up and volumes balanced pretty much. I think I
can ease off on the 3am stuff now!
The instruments in the Waken section follow better, especially parts 3
and 5. The main instrument for the Avenger is fuller sounding and the
incidentals sound clearer. The tailoff has a more appropriate
instrument altogether.
This fun :)
I've just uploaded the latest version.

P.S.
I recommend 'loud'!
