Well I thought I'd give fedora 13 (the kde 'spin') a go the other day.
I've tried a few distros which used KDE, and found it quite visually
appealing, more so than gnome for sure. But I'm left with the feeling I'm
using Windows with it (which is better than the feeling i'm left with
after using gnome ;-). Instead all I did with Fedora was install gparted
and resize the gentoo partitions except I forgot to copy one of them
before deleting it.
Anyway, the point I'm eventually trying to get to... i decided against
fedora13+kde and did a fresh gentoo install over it instead.
gentoo's using kernel 2.6.34 and it seems to have the full
real-time-preemption low latency desktop option.. built in, so all i've
had to do was /etc/security/limits.conf wotsits - though I'm not sure if
that is the real real time patch or what.

KDE 4.4 vs. Gnome from an Ubuntu perspective. Looks like Fedora13's KDE
spin will satisfy the need for a desktop that competes with the latest
Windows and Mac offerings.

David,
Thanks, this is excellent to know. If I can reproduce this behavior, I can
intelligently code for its possible existence.
So far, my next round will try to include (i.e. TODOs):
1) scrolling output for long lines
2) MIDI patching with 'aconnect'
3) fixing verbosity issues
4) help with 'h'
5) quit with 'q' as well as Control-D
I'm trying to decide how best to implement MIDI patching from the main
screen. By default, I could have the program be in 'audio' mode, and one
could switch between modes with 'a' and 'm' for MIDI...similar to the 'tabs'
in qjackctl. Ideas? More suggestions?

Hi
For those how watch out for good distortion effects,
the guitarix (SVN) distortion unit is reworked to be a 3 Band Distortion
now, gain and drive could set for each of the 3 Frequency Bands, the
Bandwidth for High, Middle and Low Band be choose-able.
Get it here:

I posted something about this a while back and never got a good answer.
Time to ask again... :-)
In linuxsampler > 0.5.1 I seem to be missing the pitch bend
functionality. Is there anything special I have to do to get it back? A
stock build of even current cvs linuxsampler does not respond at all to
pitch bend. It works fine with 0.5.1.
Anyone out there has this working?
Can anyone reproduce the problem?

I have been looking for an EDL capable audio player for a while now but have
not found one.
So I hacked together ecaedl.pl which work but is very rough.
More info here:
http://zotzbro.blogspot.com/2010/05/edl-edit-decision-list-audio-player.html
pastebin link here:
http://pastebin.com/esXJwv84
Right now this needs ecaplay from ecasound and perl. mplayer is useful to
create the edl files but they can be created by hand.
Would any cross playform audio player group be willing to add edl playing (and
creating) functionality to their player? It would make things much simpler.
(I guess I really need to add in a GPL license section to the file... soonest.
all the best,
drew

Change-log:
- Introducing a non-painting edit sub-mode on the MIDI clip editor's
piano-roll (see Edit/Select Mode/Edit Draw menu).
- The MIDI clip editor (aka piano-roll) is now a lot more quiet about
saving its own dirty content, delegating all salvage questions to main
session control.
- Don't show session restart message box when changing JACK transport
mode option anymore.
- Dedicated MIDI control bus switching fixed. Was closing the wrong bus
eventually and crashing the whole show with it (fixes bug #2989590).
- MIDI bank/program backout has been corrected on MIDI track properties
dialog rejection (ie. user cancellation).
- MIDI bank select method has been corrected for tracks with no
instrument defined (probably fixing bug #2987071).
- LV2 UI Instance and Data Access extension support added; reduce LV2
external UI parameter value update flickering.
- JACK session infrastructure support. (EXPERIMENTAL)
- Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has been
slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to wrong main
widget hidden state.
- Initial mixer widget extents are now set reasonably larger.
- General source tree layout and build configuration change.
- Ever since smooth-ramping introduction that having at least one
input-only buses were causing immediate playback crashes, now hopefully
fixed.
- Refactored for common engine client nomenclature, primarily provided
by JACK, then secondarily passed to ALSA Sequencer, getting rid of the
JackUseExactName requirement and lifting the unique/single instance
restriction in the process.
- Current JACK Transport, MMC Device, and MIDI Song Position pointer
(SPP) control modes are now saved/loaded as part of session option
properties.
- MIDI clip editor's context menu crash on Qt >= 4.6 has been fixed
(resolving bug #2972603).
- An ancient double-free corruption has been finally fixed at the
audio/MIDI bus connection persistence logic.
- Improved visibility of track state buttons text (R, M, S) when turned
on dark colored themes.
- LV2 Save/Restore extension support kicks off.
- MIDI engine read-ahead period has been shortened to half than it was
since inception--now it's a 500msec cycle.
- MIDI clip editor event list gets its due inline editing, for time,
note, value/velocity and duration columns, just one double-click away
over the target cell ;)
- Add-plugin selection dialog position and extent are now remembered
across invocations and application sessions (tipping by Frank Neumann).
- MIDI clip time-stretching is now made available through the same
gestures as audio ones, by just shift+dragging either of the clip edges.
- Drag-and-copying plug-in instances (cloning) is now fixed with regard
to parameter value replication.
- MIDI clip editor snap-per-beat setting is now independent from main
multi-track view; File/Save As... dialog fixed; the current event
selection is now kept floating as long as it's possible after editing
command actions; finally, edit mode has been extended to free-hand event
drawing, chalking off (piano roll) draw mode from the TODO list.
- Swing-quantize has finally made its overdue debut as an additional
MIDI clip editor tool (see Tools/Quantize...).
- Almost since its inception, audio inserts were injecting garbage
random noise when not being activated, now fixed.
- Dedicated audio output ports for MIDI track plugins, now have their
connection persistence back in business due on session load.
Cheers && Enjoy (what else?)

Well, in racking my brain, I think the song is called "the 12th of never"
If that's correct, I hope you helps--and-certainly your arangement was quite
pritty

Right click instrument name change now works. For me, saving to a custom bank root
seems ok, but some funkiness there wouldn't greatly surprise me. If it still doesn't
satisfy, perhaps you can spell out the steps you're taking and from that I'll
hopefully be able to figure out where it's going wrong.
0.021 fix right click instrument rename and a couple of bank management issues
