Hi,
A simple message to announce the availability of beta7 of FFADO, the
FireWire audio driver framework for Linux. It took quite some time, but
finally it is ready for large scale public testing.
Release and download information:
http://www.ffado.org/?q=release/beta
Currently, the installation options are:
* manual build from source
* semi-automatic build from source into a 'sandbox'
(http://subversion.ffado.org/wiki/SandboxInstalls)
* APT repository for Ubuntu Gutsy and Hardy (possibly others)
Please test and report issues at our TRAC at http://subversion.ffado.org/
or at the mailing list (ffado-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net). Please take
note of http://subversion.ffado.org/wiki/WritingGoodTickets when
reporting bugs.
We ask all users of freebob that are not yet testing FFADO to try this
beta release. Note that FFADO can co-exist with Freebob without any
problems, so you can revert back to your original setup very easily.
Enjoy,
Pieter Palmers

Hi,
The linuxaudio.org portal is the official home for Linux Audio
Developers, Linux Audio Users and the Linux Audio Consortium.
There are several other projects that are hosted on the server as
subdomains. In general they work independently of each other and have no
specific theme that is officially mandated.
It is time to change the mandate to have a more general theme or thread
woven into the templates of the various sub domains that identifies the
projects as being part of the portal and reflect the worldwide nature of
the Linux Audio Community.
If anyone has ideas, suggestions or feels creative enough to design a
template that can be used as a basis for the theme we always welcome
your input.
To make it a little more fun we will run a competition for the design.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The competition will be hosted here:
http://lau.linuxaudio.orghttp://quicktoots.linuxaudio.org
You can get a feel for the existing sites by checking out the
linuxaudio.org portal
http://linuxaudio.org/resources
The prizes will be officially presented at the next Linux Audio
Conference where the winners will also be announced.
The Linux Audio Conference 2009
16-19 April 2009
La Casa della Musica
Palazzo Cusani
Parma, Italy
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
To start things off Boost Hardware will sponsor $US500 to be distributed
for the prizes. I am also seeking offers of sponsorship from any
businesses that work with Linux Audio software and community projects.
There are a few of you out there so don't be shy. This is a great
opportunity to show your support.
The deadline for submissions will be the 31 Jan 2009. All submissions
will need to be licensed as open source. The official decision for the
winners of the prizes will be made by private vote of the Consortium
board. It will be entirely in the discretion of the Consortium board how
to apply the designs/ideas/templates or concepts that are finally
selected. No members of the consortium board or sponsors will be
elligible for prizes but submissions will still be accepted.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
We will provide more detailed information as the deadline approaches.

Hello all,
The first release of jkmeter is now available in the
usual place:
<www.kokkizinita.net/linuxaudio/downloads>
Also updates of japa and jnoise (mostly maintenance,
but see also below).
>From the README:
jkmeter-0.1.0 (03/08/2008)
--------------------------
Jkmeter is a horizontal or vertical bargraph level
meter based on the ideas of mastering guru Bob Katz.
See <http://www.digido.com/bob-katz/index.php> and
follow the links on 'level practices'.
This is the type of meter you want for live recording,
mixing and mastering. It probably makes no sense to
use it on all tracks of a DAW, where keeping digital
level within limits is the main purpose of metering.
This release implements the K-20 meter. Future
releases will include the K-14 meter as well.
A K-meter displays both the true RMS level and the
digital peak level. The ballistics as defined by Bob
Katz are somewhat ambiguous. In this implementation
the RMS meter is about 15% faster than an VU, but
without the overshoot. This provides a good indication
of subjective loudness.
Instead of providing extra gain for the RMS level,
the K-meter displays it on the same scale as the
digital peak level, but puts the '0dB' mark and the
color change well below the OdB full scale level.
For the K-20 meter it is 20dB down, for the K-14
this is (surprise !) 14 dB.
To use the meter as envisaged by Bob Katz, you
should have a fixed monitoring level, adjusted
so that pink noise indicating 0dB on the meter
corresponds to 83 dB(C) (from each speaker) as
indicated by an sound level meter. Note the (C)
- not (A) - weighting.
As of release 0.4.0, both japa and jnoise provide
a pink noise source at exactly this level.
The current release does not include the 22kHz
lowpass filter required for frequencies such as
96kHz and higher.
Enjoy !

Hi all,
I would like to know if somebody of you knows a C/C++ library allowing to decode DAB audio frame (commercial or not), specially to extract PAD components.
For your information, I'm working with the FxEngine Framework (http://www.smprocess.com) on DAB MPEG 1 layer II audio format.
Thanks in advance,
Sylvain
I guess the subject says it all. I haven't been able to find an rt
version of the current (2.6.26.5-45.fc9.i686 SMP) Fedora 9 kernel, and I
was kinda hoping someone out there might have already compiled one.
Thank you!

Hi everybody,
there's a "Linux in Audio" session at the Tonmeistertagung[1] in
Leipzig, on Sunday 16th November. Apparently there are four talks
including presentations by Ivica Ico Bukvic from linuxaudio.org and Paul
Davis from Ardour. Also, the programme of the Tonmeistertagung is pretty
impressive.

OK, but I am wary of that too, thoughts anyone? A ccmixter type site would
actually host files... Hmmm, I wonder if the code could be changed to let the
internet archive host the files?

I will get that to you if this looks like it could go further.

If this is only to be streamed, it can be done from a box with no sound card
if need be.
There are some alternatives to rivendell for broadcast radio in the linux
world, but I have not been able to wrap my head around the ones that seek to
be fancy like rivendell. I have run a few of the simple ones though.

Well, the rivendell stuff would use the icecast stuff. Via darkice or ices.
This too would involve actually having the files to be played in an audio
repository and database as that is how rivendell functions. It is designed
for broadcast radio.

Thanks for the response. I would like to kick this around some and see what
the interest and support levels are before jumping into something that will
be allowed to die. I would like to see these prosper if we start them up.
all the best,

La Casa della Musica invites all Linux Audio developers,
users, composers, musicians, philosophers and anyone
interested to
The Linux Audio Conference 2009
16-19 April 2009
La Casa della Musica
Palazzo Cusani
Parma, Italy
The LAC will go outside Germany for the first time, but
we will keep close to the familiar four-day format with
paper presentations, workshops, electro-acoustic music
concerts, and the Linux Sound Night.
The website is being created, and 'calls for everything'
will be issued before the end of this week.
The conference starts a few weeks later than the previous
one, which allows the deadlines for everything to be moved
as well. For the papers and music calls this will be
somewhere mid January, so you can use the end-of-year
holiday period to get creative.
We hope to see you all in Parma !

Hi all,
I have just subscribed to this list.
I have been using audio editing software for Windows for the last few years but now I want to change to Linux if possible.
Since I am visually impaired I rely on speech and or braille. I have tried several tools for Linux including Audacity but it is not that accessible at the moment using Orca, the screen reader for Gnome.
I am currently using Ubuntu Hardy as my Linux distribution. Any recommendations on what software I should eventually try that is an audio editor or a sequencer?
Best regards and thanks,
Christian
