Okay.

Ardour, ceres, clm/cmn/cm, jack_capture, jackd/qjackctl, jamin,
mplayer/mencoder, pure data, radium/e-radium, snd/snd-ls.

Sorry, I have it. :-)

I would estimate the number of really good sound programming
environments available for linux to be around 20 (this is _the area_ where
linux really shines compared to other platformes). So, it makes more
sence to have discussions about topics such as ambisonic audio and things
like that on this list rather than one of the sound programming
environment lists.

Yes. :-)

I played with RTSynth a bit, it generates some cool sounds.
But, it looks completely orphaned! The distribution I got was binary-only, no source code. Really weird, never seen that before in a Linux project.
I emailed the author, to find out where the source distribution is, and his email bounced as undeliverable. The website hasn't been updated since 2003.
Anyway, what's up? Anyone have a source tarball of the source for the latest version of it (with JACK/ALSA support)?

Hi,
I guess I should probably announce this application here:
<http://mccormick.cx/projects/KnobsAndSlidersDS>
It is a (GPL) program that runs on your Nintendo DS and allows you to
dynamically create knobs and sliders that you can interface with using
the touchscreen. All of the data goes over the network, so basically it
allows you to use your Nintendo DS touchscreen as a controller interface
to your Puredata patches (or any other program that supports the FUDI
protocol) on your PC/laptop.
It only has very basic features right now, but I'm releasing early,
releasing somewhat often.
Have fun.
Best,
Chris.

I have a problem burning standard audio CDs. On Ubuntu (Dapper Drake),
using K3b I am able to burn all variety of disks (wavs, mp3s, etc) but
when I create a standard audio CD I get dropouts. They do not sound like
a disconnect, but rather more like a controlled fade, followed
immediately by a fade to full volume. The whole dropout usually lasts
1/4 sec or so, though occasionally a dropout is not restored for the
remainder of the track. The format of the source material is irrelevant.
(PS. The drive was taken from an XP box where it creates audio CDs
perfectly.)
I've looked about for answers, but have never heard this symptom
described elsewhere.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Hello list,
I revently read here about a missing decent arpeggiator for linux, qmidiarp was mentioned there.
I seem to like it (don't know any other arpeggiators at all) but I could not figure out either of the two offered input methods, named "Simple Composung Input Method" and "XIM". Doing "revers engeneering" on the two example files would be at least time consuming.
I would be glad if someone could point me to some explanation.
by the way, linux audio is a pleasure and i learned a LOT following this list, thnx to all contributors!
greetings, david

Hi all,
Here's my 6-month ongoing saga with these.
After buying 2 machines from Thinkmate, I've had nothing but trouble trying
to get these to be "clean" as far as the audio output is concerned.
I tried A8N-SLI and its newer version A8N32-SLI motherboard (for AMD64). The
problem is that even if I disable internal soundcard and run the machine
with external soundcard or an internal PCI card (i.e. Delta 1010LT), I get
noises when moving mouse as well as a nasty ground-like noise.
I tried:
*changing the motherboard
*disabling internal soundcard
*there is no internal speaker so that did not have any bearing
*exchanging the power supply
*removing the motherboard from the case and running it only with a video
card and HDs to see if the case had some issues
*tried muting all audio
Every time, I still have the noise propagating even through the external FW
soundcard. Every time I move the mouse or a window.
So, my questions are:
Does anyone have A8N series motherboards and if so, do you have any noises?
Are the nforce motherboard trash overall or is this one-of-a-kind lemon?
Is there a good AMD64 motherboard which can be recommended?
Any help is most appreciated!

Hi
I'm considering getting a dual-core desktop machine for audio work. But
I'm wondering how well the two cores would be used for audio work. For
instance can clients running on different cores connect to the same jack?
Apparently I'm pretty ignorant concerning dual-core in the first place.
Is there any online info I should/could read that would give some
insight on how an audio environment is setup and performs on dual core?

Hi everyone,
As I said yesterday when I said the migration to linuxaudio.org was
postponed till 1st April, there are still a few issues asking for
comments.
It has been suggested by a few people(Ivica Ico Bukvic, Jan Weil) that
the email addresses linux-audio-xxxxx(a)linuxaudio.org was kind of
redundant. The following suggestions were made :
¤ just switch the names to announce(a)linuxaudio.org,
dev(a)linuxaudio.org, and user(a)linuxaudio.org.
¤ Make aliases : linux-audio-dev(a)linuxaudio.org -> dev(a)linuxaudio.org
To this Leonard Ritter replied that this could lead to more spam.
IMO, since we are working on a spamassassin+mailman interfacing, it
should not be a problem. The aliases seem the solution that could make
everyone happy since both type of addresses would work and the lists
would keep their "historical" names.
Ready, steady... FLAME !
