jack_capture
============
jack_capture is a program for recording soundfiles with jack. Its default
operation is to capture whatever sound is going out to your speakers into
a file. (But it can do a number of other operations as well...)

0.9.7 -> 0.9.10:
*Fixed segfault in case the --channels / -c argument is higher
than the number of ports which is possible to connect to.
*Added a terminal vu meter by default. It'll also display red
in case the recorded jack value is equal to or higher than 1.0.
Use "-dv" to disable.
*Added the --meterbridge / -mb option, which automatically
starts Steve Harris' meterbridge (http://plugin.org.uk/meterbridge/)
and constantly connects them to the same ports as jack_capture
is connected to.
*Added the --write-to-stdout / -ws option which writes 16 bit little
endian sound to stdout. Code made by looking at jack-stdout.c by Robin
Gareus.
*Added the --print-formats / -pf option.
*Replaced jack_client_new() with jack_client_open()
Snd-ls V0.9.8.16
================
Snd-ls is a distribution of Bill Schottstaedt's sound editor SND.
(http://ccrma.stanford.edu/software/snd/)
Its target is people that don't know scheme very well, and don't want
to spend too much time configuring Snd. It can also serve
as a quick introduction to Snd and how it can be set up.
Snd-ls also serves as base code for the San-Dysth softsynth
(http://www.notam02.no/~kjetism/sandysth/) and the Snd-rt music
programming language (http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/doc/snd-rt)
http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/snd/
0.9.8.13 -> 0.9.8.16:
*Fixed definstrument and faust.
*Removed deprecated CAIRO_FONT_TYPE_ATSUI
*Updated <slider> in snd-rt, <slider> in gui.
(bugs reported by "border")
*Fixed definstrument.
*Replaced jack_client_new with jack_client_open

I would play some music records flac coded at 24bit/88kHz.
The pc audio player (xmms) drives a pci soundcard (Chaintech AV-710) whose
spdf output drives a Behringer SRC2496 configured as DA just to drive a
stereo amplifier.
The sound I hear is good, but the DA locks at 48kHz sample rate, insted of
88.2.
I was not able to "induce" my Mandriva 2008 distribution to output an 88kHz
digital stream.
What I'm lookig for is to find a reference to understand the complexity (at
least for me) of linux audio, and be able to get rid of the above problem.
Hope.

Hello List,
I am relatively new to Linux audio and am trying to decide on a
distribution to use. I've been playing around with Fedora and the Planet
CCRMA packages, but I am also interested in trying out Ubuntu Studio. I
already have Ubuntu 7.10 on this machine, and I was wondering if I really
need to go through the bother of creating a new partition and installing
Ubuntu Studio from scratch, so to speak (not that it's such a terribly
onerous task, but...). If I do a simple aptitude search for "ubuntustudio"
while booted in Ubuntu a slew of packages come up (ubuntustudio-audio,
ubuntustudio-audio-plugins, etc.). Is there any practical difference between
simply installing these packages on my existing Ubuntu installation on the
one hand, or going to the Ubuntu Studio website, downloading the image, and
installing from there on the other? It seems as if the result would be the
same in the end, but I'm not entirely sure. Thanks!
Cheers,
Daniel
Hi Jorge,
In envy24control there is "Analog Volume" tab - make sure you have those volume sliders up as well.

I have a Delta 44. Make sure you have the DAC e ADC slider turned up. Besides,
I generally use Digital Mix (L and R) for routing purposes.
ciao!

Hi !!
Well, first of all, sorry for my "english" :)
PRESENTATION:
I have a problem (explained at the bottom) and looking for information to
solve it I've just come across this list and... I have to join it, so hello
everyone!! It's great to have a common place for linux audio people :)
About myself, I'm a linux user and guitarrist basically, and I have made the
decision to use for my recordings and "experiments" 100% free software only,
given the maturity of the actual audio apps and sound technology in Linux :)
If you are curious, you can hear my first recordings (of hopefully many to
come!) made with 100% free tools:
http://virb.com/spes
As you can see I listen to many different styles and artists, from Hendrix to
Dream Theater :)
--------------
PROBLEM
Now, the problem I'm trying to solve, and sure any of you could help me :)
I've just aquired a Maudio Delta66 (yes!! :D), and I know it's ok and
correctly connected, because it works in winXP (after rebooting twice, etc,
etc... hehe), but I have no sound here in Linux, and as I use only Linux
daily, and I also want to set up home recording studio, I *need* to fix
this...
INFORMATION:
I was using a onboard device, so I plugged the Delta, and disabled the
motherboard audio device on the BIOS, and restart...
I'm using Kubuntu 7.10. I installed alsa-utils-gui, wich has the envy24control
GUI mixer, what the delta66 needs (ice1712 driver).
I can see the device with lspci -v:
05:00.0 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies Inc. ICE1712 [Envy24]
PCI Multi-Channel I/O Controller (rev 02)
Subsystem: VIA Technologies Inc. M-Audio Delta 66
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 16
I/O ports at ec00 [size=32]
I/O ports at e880 [size=16]
I/O ports at e800 [size=16]
I/O ports at e480 [size=64]
Capabilities: [80] Power Management version 1
And I can also see the modules loaded in the kernel:
# lsmod |grep 1712
snd_ice1712 65140 3
snd_ice17xx_ak4xxx 5120 1 snd_ice1712
snd_ak4xxx_adda 8832 2 snd_ice1712,snd_ice17xx_ak4xxx
snd_cs8427 9984 1 snd_ice1712
snd_ac97_codec 100644 1 snd_ice1712
snd_pcm 80388 4 snd_ice1712,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss
snd_i2c 6656 2 snd_ice1712,snd_cs8427
snd_mpu401_uart 9600 1 snd_ice1712
snd 54660 19
snd_ice1712,snd_ak4xxx_adda,snd_cs8427,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_i2c,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_seq_oss,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device
And I don't see any error or message in dmesg.
I also can "see" in envy24control the signal of the music when I play it with
mplayer / Amarok / Ardour / etc... in PCMout1 and PCMout2, and also in the
Mixer L&R if I unmute it.
I'm routing HWout1 to PCMout1 and HWout2 to PCMout2, so it should be sending
the sound to the physical outs1&2 of the breakout box, right? (as I've got it
connected)... but I got no sound at all...
Does anyone has any idea about what can happen here?? Do I need to do anything
*special* to enable or unmute the card under Linux/Kubuntu/Alsa??
Any experience with this card, anyone?? :)
Thanks very much in advance!!
Jorge.
Hi,
[I've sent this message to several large mailing lists. Please be sure any
replies don't get sent to all of them, i.e. don't use the Reply-to-all feature
of your mail client.]
I'm pleased to announce the release of pytagsfs version 0.6.0. This release
includes significant enhancements as well as critical bug fixes:
* Support for mkdir/rmdir.
* Improved performance for readdir. This makes directory listings faster.
* Fix for broken stat result caching. This bug would have caused significant
performance problems.
* Fix for incorrect directory timestamps.
* Fix for bad handling of updates to previously unrepresentable source files.
This bug would cause files to not appear under the mount tree when tagged.
* Fix for incompatibility with version 0.2 of the Python FUSE bindings.
Thanks to Chris Pickel and Jeremy Jones for reporting bugs and testing fixes.
The full set of changes for this release is available:
http://www.pytagsfs.org/Changelogs/0.6.0
To download this release:
http://www.pytagsfs.org/Download
pytagsfs is a FUSE filesystem that arranges media files in a virtual directory
structure based on the file tags. For instance, a set of audio files could be
mapped to a new directory structure organizing them hierarchically by album,
genre, release date, etc. File tags can be changed by moving and renaming
virtual files and directories. The virtual files can also be modified directly,
and, of course, can be opened and played just like regular files.
For a more thorough introduction, see:
http://www.pytagsfs.org/Introduction
Please visit http://www.pytagsfs.org to obtain more information.
Feel free to contact me with any questions. Feedback is appreciated.
Thanks,
Forest

Greetings,
As threatened, I've added another new song to this page:
http://linux-sound.org/ardour-music.html
This song is pretty unique for me, and it's probably a bit too
lugubrious for some tastes. It's a personal song, as the notes on the
page make clear, and it was written with a very specific purpose.
So, no Pink or Aphex in mind, but I did use the word "lugubrious" in
this announcement. :)
Best,
dp

Heh, thanks. Never thought anyone could be blown away from the
sound of my old tracks, produced on a Korg M1 (1988-1994) :)
http://www.archive.org/details/m1_free
Back then I was always trying to get sounds out of the old lady it wasn't
made for. That track belongs to a series where I was obsessed with
more punch on the beats and bass bass bass, resulting in some rather
unfortunate mixing :)
I had no memory cards and no own computer, so making a new track
often meant erasing an old one. After recording to tape, if I was happy
enough with the result. Good times, nonetheless.
Everyone's invited to dig for treasures,
just click on my name after "Author" ;)
