Re: [LAU] How to listen to songs on myspace without proprietary software?

If you have gentoo, here's some instructions. If not, it'll give you the way to do it. http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Flash_9_and_Firefox

How to listen to songs on myspace without proprietary software?

by hollunder＠gmx.at

Hi, sorry if you feel that it's kinda off-topic. A lot of music nowadays can be found only on internet platforms like youtube, myspace and so on, and they need flash and similar stuff to work. For youtube, there are ways, a totem plug-in does the job well for me, I can watch videos and search. With myspace the story is different. The gnash plug-in that is currently available in ubuntu kinda works with some stuff, but is often totally unusable, and that's how it is with myspace. So the big question is: Is there a way to listen to songs on myspace without using proprietary software? Thanks in advance, best regards, Philipp

Re: [LAU] webcam with Linux

by Susan Cragin

I have Intrepid Studio RT on a 386 machine with a built-in webcam. My webcam does not work with Camorama but does work with Skype for Ubuntu Linux. ?? That's all I know.

about LinuxSampler and .art-files

by Julien Claassen

Hello! Does anyone know, if LinuxSampler supports articulations (.art-files)? I remember reading something about planning support for this. Is it done yet? It seems to be a nice way of making updates for defect or unfinished libraries.

iso image from toc?

by plutek-infinity

greetings! starting with a wav and a corresponding toc, from which i would normally burn a master audio cd, is it possible to generate an iso image of the audio cd, so a user on some other operating system can simply burn the iso to a disc, and end up with a clone of my audio cd, including all cd-text and pq coding? i've been searching, but it's not looking very clear how to do it, or in fact whether it CAN be done. and, is there also a way to generate a dmg file (which a lot of mac programs seem to like), instead of an iso image? thanks for any help! cheers! -- .pltk.

Sure, it was an immature way to answer. But since there are a number of reasons why writing simultanious data or zeros could be faster, it would make sense to write something other than just the most obvious. I do of course think that it's pretty unlikely that zeros are faster, but I wouldn't have added the "(?)" if I had known "exactly how it works". (which is what I wrote, not "not knowing how it works") Well, thanks for correcting me anyway.

Focusrite Saffire LE

by Chris Wenn

Hi All I'm having significant trouble getting a Saffire LE to work with my setup. I have a Dell XPS M1210, running Ubuntu Studio.

You can't just bombastically spew out things like that without backing it up with some sort of facts or at least arguments. Since the buffers isn't written to by anything other than zeros, there could theoretically be a smaller chance of cache misses. Whether it makes a difference is a different story. (BTW, sizeof(double) is 64 bits, while data written by ardour/timemachine/jack_capture is 32 bits.)
