The things > you've spoken about are not among them. > I'm not sure what other problems you are thinking of? I completely agree this is the main problem with jack. Its not unusual that a program connecting to jack can make jackd crash. And it is even possible to prevent this! (I know it tries to prevent it though, but it does fail very often too). The second problem I have with jack is that its not possible to pause or disconnect temporarily from a backend, which means that whenever you want use a program which use a soundsystem which does not support jack (in my case, usually flash, vmware or java), you first have to quit all programs currently using jack, then stopping jack, then start the non-jack compatible program. And after being finished with the non-jack compatible program, start jack and all its clients again. There was even posted a fix to this bug on the jack list a few years ago, but of course it was not adopted. I know jack is for professional audio use, though, and for that purpose (except when a professional audio program screw up, and makes the whole jack system crash), its excelent. But these two issues are still very irritating, and generally lowers the othervice high reputation of jack.

Ardour_vst error

by David Baron

I compiled Ardour-2.1 with vst support. I had to change an SConscript file to explicitly set the ardour_vst.exe.so destination path (for some odd reason, scons could not find the ardourvst file right there). After that, everything went well except that the ardour_vst script did not get placed in /usr/local/bin. Copied it there myself. When I run it, I get that the ardour_vst.exe.so has an inccorrect exe format for wine and the thing aborts. Any ideas? I am running Debian Sid.

AVSynthesis demos

by Dave Phillips

Greetings: I've posted three short (30 to 50 seconds) AVI files created with Jean-Pierre Lemoine's very cool AVSynthesis program : http://linux-sound.org/avs-examples/ Each demo uses one GLSL effect and one Csound5-based synthesizer with one Csound5-based audio processor. Sorry about the video quality, it's so poor compared to the AVSynthesis realtime display. Audio quality is fine though. For more information about AVSynthesis : http://avsynthesis.blogspot.com/ Enjoy. Comments welcome. Best, dp

I think there is a number of possible entities. How about Linuxaudio.org for instance? Imagine us having an endowment which we can disburse to contributors of most sought features/add-ons (groove quantizing? :-). How about in part sponsoring usability team which would enhance existing applications with more appealing GUIs, better and more user-friendly interface organization etc.? Doing this is not too farfetched provided we can muster more enough support in managing ensuing administrative overhead to get this thing on its feet and perhaps more importantly convince potential dissenters that this is ultimately a good thing (tm?). Best wishes, Ico

[ANN] dssi-vst 0.5

by Chris Cannam

dssi-vst 0.5 released! ====================== The 0.5 release of dssi-vst is now available. dssi-vst is a DSSI plugin wrapper for Win32 VST effects and instruments with GUI support, allowing them to be loaded into any DSSI host. dssi-vst is available from the download page at http://dssi.sourceforge.net/ The 0.5 release now comes with Javier Serrano Polo's VST-compatibility header, as previously distributed in LMMS. (Actually, this header was already compatible with dssi-vst -- no modifications to dssi-vst were necessary -- it's just that the header is now included in the package.) This permits it to be compiled without the official VST SDK and distributed under pure GPL. No guarantees are made as to the reliability of the results; your feedback is welcome, but please bear in mind that I will not do any development work on the compatibility header myself for legal reasons. The 0.5 release is also (finally) compatible with version 2.4r2 of the official SDK, should you wish to use it. Chris
