It's off-topic, but I hope you can help me anyway... :-)
I'm looking to buy a cheap USB bluetooth dongle for my PC. Obviously, I want
one that's compatible with Linux. But I've never used BT with Linux before,
so I have no idea what to expect.
Also, I'd like it to be compatible with Windows XP, but that's not too hard.
I'll be using it to send files to my PDA, and, if possible, set up some kind
of NAT or routing so I can access the network from my PDA.
Does Linux have as many issues with BT as it does with wifi? I'll be using
Ubuntu Studio...
Thanks!

Hi all,
I nicked my brother's Mbox 2 and plugged into my eee, it got recognised as an usb-audio device. So far so good. I started qjackctl and started the daemon as a 44kHz, non-realtime and playback-only device and it worked fine. Fired up hydrogen and connected it to the Jack and started playing. QJackctl reports me that it's running and rolling but no audio is coming out nor the led light on the device is lighting up.
I was thinking since it got recognised as a USB device, at least the playback should have worked. Any clues and ideas, please?
Cheers,
Hakan

realtime-lsm may no longer be valid for 2.6.25 kernels--debian has no prepared
modules beyond 2.6.23.
I have not objection to rlimits but cannot find this. How does one install/use
this?

Debian's legacy 96xx did build up and install after a fashion. Have not tried
it yet.. In the past, I got half the frame rate using debian's versions. I did
not install the debian nvidia libglx.so at this point and I guard nvidia's on
every xorg upgrade. May not work with the debian driver, however.
Without rlimits, I will not use 2.6.25 kernel anyway.

This particular one was a kernel bug that was fixed. So really not a
good example. I just take a little issue (since I'm the lead on Studio)
with "lots of reports of xruns" when I can say the same about any
distro. :P People in that thread even mentioned having no issues.
Any concrete "This is giving me xruns" examples/bugs are welcome.
One thing that I have seen is that if you add network-manager you can
start to get xruns. The min I add it here it starts. Couple of forum
threads mention it as well as emails.

Hi
I've newly installed a desktop system with dual boot
windows/ubuntuStudio and discovered something exiting.
If I play around with ZynAddSubFX in Windows, I can adjust the card to
64 frames 96000KHz and play with 1,5 ms latency without any kind of
sound glitch or interrupts at all.
If I try the same with UbuntuStudio and jack I get a lot of X-runs as I
play, in a serious situation it's no good, especially as I'm beginning
to use effects in and out of my Multiface in real time for example guitar.
Now that I discovered that my card is fully capable of playing with
extreme low latency I'm not quite satisfied with running 20ms or more in
UbuntuStudio or any other Linux DAW.
Is there anything I can do to tune my jack installation to obtain lower
latency and more stability with my card, so far I haven't had any luck
tweaking the jack settings.
Thanks in advantage.

Hi,
What are good headphones? What are good ones to search for on the second
hand market? For about 50 euro's can you get a good one?
Thanks in advance,
Dirk
I had this with qsynth, thought it was a problem with this, but then I
encountered it with muse.
If jack is running, programs will not play MIDI to an alsa MIDI device. If
jack is not running, qsynth works surprisingly well and muse (no audio, of
course) will play MIDI to a MIDI device just fine.
With jack running, trying to manually connect in the qjackctl connections pane
will have no effect! Pre-existing connections not involving the jack client
program will still work.
One possible side effect is that the jack-midi items MAY not appear after this
has occured (a few times) and the system will eventually hang.
Anyone had this? File bug? Fix or workaround?
Something else I just noticed in the kernel builds:Section mismatches! 24 in
image and 9 in the modules.
What does this mean. Kernels certain boot up OK.
