I just bought a Emu Xmidi 1x1 for ~$30 and it works out of the box
I'm using it to control the mixer faders and panning in Ardour
on a Dell mini9 running Ubuntu 8.10 1w/plain vanilla kernel
envtag-0.2 is released!
* What is envtag?
envtag is a simple audio tagger using taglib's c bindings. Interaction
is done using environment variables which makes it perfect for shell
scripts.
* What's new in this version?
This version has optional support for Lua scripting on tags. Read my
blog post¹ to learn more.
* Where can i get it?

I have used an old edirol um-1 bought second hand.. works very well..
As Justin said any USB 1.1 compliant interface will work, there are also some
very cheap chinese ones on ebay, which are probably fine..
I'm trying to help someone with an Edirol UA-1EX usb soundcard.
Using aplay, he can get sound output from the card, but no success in
recording anything using the analog line-in rca connections on the card.
About an hour ago I suggested the arecord line below, which I found on the
alsa site. Link below.
http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Edirol_UA-1EX
arecord -r96000 -fS24_3LE -c2 -Dhw:2 ~/recording.wav
Output from running the above arecord command below:
<Dale, he says>
Okay, with the switch to the advanced driver position:
arecord -r96000 -fS24_3LE -c2 -Dhw:2 ~/recording.wav
Recording WAVE '/root/recording.wav' : Signed 24 bit Little Endian in
3bytes, Rate 96000 Hz, Stereo
arecord: set_params:954: Sample format non available
And fwiw, I tried several settings with Advanced Driver in the OFF
position:
arecord -r48000 -fS24_LE -c2 -Dhw:2 ~/recording.wav
Recording WAVE '/root/recording.wav' : Signed 24 bit Little Endian,
Rate 48000 Hz, Stereo
arecord: set_params:954: Sample format non available
arecord -r48000 -fS24_LE -c2 -Dhw:2 ~/recording.wav
Recording WAVE '/root/recording.wav' : Signed 24 bit Little Endian,
Rate 48000 Hz, Stereo
arecord: set_params:954: Sample format non available
arecord -r24000 -fS24_LE -c2 -Dhw:2 ~/recording.wav
Recording WAVE '/root/recording.wav' : Signed 24 bit Little Endian,
Rate 24000 Hz, Stereo
arecord: set_params:954: Sample format non available

He has 3 soundcards on the machine, as below.
cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [CA0106 ]: CA0106 - CA0106
Audigy SE [SB0570] at 0xea00 irq 18
1 [SI7012 ]: ICH - SiS SI7012
SiS SI7012 with ALC655 at irq 18
2 [UA1EX ]: USB-Audio - UA-1EX
EDIROL UA-1EX at usb-0000:00:03.1-1, full speed
<Dale, he says>
I have been able to play through card 2 with:
aplay -D front:UA1EX DepecheMode-CatchingUpWithDepecheMode-side1.wav
<Me>
Has anyone any experience in using the Edirol UA-1EX usb soundcard, and is
able to record analog sound with it? If so, how?
A whole bunch of searching the LAU archives (only 12 months, as I'm on
dialup), also the alsa-user archives for 2008, which only turned up one post
with no replies, where someone wanted to get spdif output working on the
UA-1EX, has left me stumped.
Having never used a usb soundcard, I'm unaware of any problems with them, but
would gratefull if anyone is using, or has tried the UA-1EX, and has been
able to record to disk with it.
Many thanks to those on the list who may be able to help.

For some time I've been trying to get ethnic sounds out of Zyn, and I
think I've more-or-less succeeded in getting a panpipe or panflute
sound. I've put together just a tiny snippet so you can hear the
effect, although I'm the first to admit the tune is hardly in style
with the sound!
http://www.musically.me.uk/music/00_PanTest.ogg
I have actually used three versions of the same sound. One centered,
another panned left, and the last one panned right. I guess I should
really also make some small differences in the sound to get an even
more realistic effect.
For anyone interested these (along with a lot of other voices) can be
found in my banks collection at:

Ok, had the head in the amb manual and online reference material, when time
permitted, and have another question.
How do we handle early reflections when using an Ambisonic Jconv instance?
I'm experimenting with the yorkminster-amb.conf (wonderful clear sound), and
i don't yet understand how we create, or use, early reflections from the
same instance. (If indeed this is required.)

I have a suggestion.
Would it be useful to incorporate a2jmidid into jack as a permanent fixture
by default?
I find this app incredibly useful, and have it running all the time.
Pros and cons?
Alex.
