But I would be surprised if jackdmp was limited to two, or any other high-value fixed number of, parallel sound processing threads. And on the other hand, if you are wrong, which I think you are, although I'm not 100% sure about that, you could be responsible for continuing to spread a(nother) misunderstanding about jackdmp. (The previous one was that jackdmp could not work on single processor machines)

Freewheeling??

by Brian King

I've tried freewheeling and it works well to record samples and loop them but how do I delete samples or save samples?? and are there options on the interface...seems to work a little strangely on the interface front??

MusixLowLatency is only for Stable?

by 2g

is there a MusixKernel for DebianUnstable? if not any alternative to aptitude install any RT-LowLatency one? taking MusixKernel in mind almost made me re-install Debian in order to downgrade to Stable maybe i could strictly become chuck+CS4ed-loops oriented and leave alone SC but yes to study "live-helper" to put the system on CD is keeping me Unstable so if there's a solution for not building a kernel by myself want to go Unstable until most comes into Stable tia -- 2g http://micro.ispretty.com

Convert from WMA to ... ?

by Kevin Cosgrove

I have a WMA file, yes only one, that I can play with Amarok. But, I want to convert it to OGG or WAV. How can I do that? I used to do this with wma2wav <http://mcmcc.bat.ru/xmms-wma/wma2wav>, but that won't build on my Mandriva 2007.0 system. The last thing I built it on was Mandrake 9.0. Thanks.... -- Kevin

Live CD distribution?

by Kevin Cosgrove

A friend of mine is willing to loan me a laptop to do some recording. It's a PIII with Windows ME on it. He's installed Audacity on it. Even so, I'd prefer to run Linux, and I can't trash the hard drive on him. So, is there a live Linux CD with Audacity which would be good for this application? Hmmm, I'll need to write the sound file to the hard drive, and I don't know if the drive is VFAT or NTFS. If it's NTFS that would limit which live CDs might work for me, if any. Thoughts folks? Thanks.... -- Kevin

ReplyTo munging (Was: What hardware is actually used by freebob/ffado users?)

For those of you who haven't heard, there has been a very long debate on whether replyto munging was or wasn't a god practice. Each side had a reference paper stating a number of pros and cons : - http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html - http://marc.merlins.org/netrants/reply-to-useful.html The fight between Simon Hill and Chip Rosenthal finaly ended in 2001 when a new RFC obsoleting RFC 822 appeared, RFC2822. Here's a paper from Neale Pickett stating the final story : http://woozle.org/~neale/papers/reply-to-still-harmful I strongly consider turning munging off on LAD and LAU. I know this might start some flames, but isn't it good free software philosophy to stick to the standards, especially when it comes to a recently reviewed RFC ? If someone can give me an argument that is not present in the 3 previously linked documents stating why we need to munge our headers, I'll turn munging off next week.

I tried it with Ardour, Audacity and ReZound and as long as you save your work before closing it works well. Thank you!
