Consider a fictional band working here in Australia, trying to get to the point they may be able to actually pay themselves more than a bit of beer money, or perhaps even interest the distributor mentioned above. 5 musicians, doing some live gigs, sometimes touring interstate, paying for someone to mix and the travel costs from the fees they are paid before they get to pay themselves. They rent a place to rehearse, covering some of that rent by sharing it with other bands who pay them when the need it. They have some merchandise and cds they are selling at gigs etc, and are using that revenue to pay for studio time and someone to record them. To make some live opportunities for themselves they organise some events where they hire the venue and pay the technical costs, as well as organising several other bands to play, they pay these costs out of the door takings, and pay themselves and the other bands a split of what is left. The band will quite easily be over the $100,000 revenue while they are just earning pocket money as actual income for themselves. That $2000 would be much more usefully spent paying an engineer to help get a recording done than paying for the right to have mp3s on their laptop to play (or send) to someone who may be interested in their work. Mostly such a group chooses the 'pirate' path, but perhaps it's more in their interests to use a format that isn't considered illegal here without the $2000 payment to an organisation who are paying their employees and shareholders much more than pocket money.

These warning seem to indicate you don't have libtool installed, and autoreconf needs it. Do you get these warnings with autoreconf -f -i? Maybe libtool should be a dependency of autoconf, but isn't in your ubuntu. > configure.ac:3: installing `./install-sh' > configure.ac:3: installing `./missing' > src/Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp' > [snip] > $ sudo checkinstall > $ aj-snapshot --help So everything is ok after doing autoreconf? Thanks for reporting this... Greetings, Lieven

[LAD] [LAC] [LAC] Kilcar B&B

by Egor Sanin

Hello LACers! I've got myself into a mixup. I've booked a hostel in Dublin for the Conference, but now I want to get out to Maynooth. I've been in touch with Kilcar B&B and Annette has me covered for Friday night, however, after that she's full. I remember someone here was asking about teaming up for a place, so perhaps there's a chance someone over there is willing to split a room and costs. If you don't mind a roommate, please email or call me. I'm in Dublin right now at Avalon house. I've got a mobile here: 085 7836111. I will be walking around a lot today, so phone is better. Thanks gang, I'm looking forward to meeting everyone!

[LAA] Release of aj-snapshot-0.9.3

by Lieven Moors

Hi everyone, This is a small update to aj-snapshot. Aj-snapshot is a small command-line utility that can be used to store/restore ALSA and JACK connections to/from an XML file. This release fixes a small and a big bug: - Correction to the license headers which referred to the wrong program... (copy/paste error) - Make the -i flag ignore clients in both directions. (in the previous release, only connections FROM the ignored clients were ignored) The website: http://aj-snapshot.sourceforge.net/ Git repository: git clone git://aj-snapshot.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/aj-snapshot/aj-snapshot Please report bugs on the sourceforge project page (don't be shy ;-) You will find direct links for bug reports or feature requests on the main website. greetings, lievenmoors

Bluetooth A2DP pitch shifting

by Ken Restivo

I have been lately using a Bluetooth A2DP headset to listen to music. Every now and then, it drops pitch! It slows the music down, by as much as a semitone, for several seconds, then comes back slowly. I rather like the effect; it's like an old cheap analog vynil turntable with a bad motor or worn belt. What could be causing this? The signal path is Ogg Vorbis files to Android phone (obligatory Linux content!) to A2DP stereo headset. Also, I'm very much enjoing the best of 2010 mix! The quality of the music is excellent. I have it on shuffle along with the latest Radiohead record, and I cannot tell which is the multi-mega-superstar-major-label-millionaire-rock-band release, and which is a guy in his bedroom knocking stuff out on his laptop for fun in spare hours after work. Linux audio is definitely as ready for prime-time as the prime-time is. I digress, but nonetheless, I will BOX THE EARS of anyone who diverts my precious thread into discussions of apocalypse, conspiracies, or revolution. You have been warned :-) -ken

Pipe not working - or is it lame or oggdec

by Julien Claassen

Hello everyone! IO just found out, that I have a problem with piping from oggdec to lame. I did it like I always did and got tis: oggdec -o - 01.ogg | lame -h - 01.mp3 Decoding "01.ogg" to "standard output" [ 0.0%]LAME 3.98.4 32bits (http://www.mp3dev.org/) Using polyphase lowpass filter, transition band: 16538 Hz - 17071 Hz Encoding <stdin> to 01..mp3 Encoding as 44.1 kHz j-stereo MPEG-1 Layer III (11x) 128 kbps qval=2 Could not close sound file I tried it on the command line, from a script and changed from #!/bin/bash to #!/bin/sh, I tried it using root and a user. The problem would be the new sstem, but I don't know why. Bash version is : GNU bash, version 4.1.5(1)-release (i486-pc-linux-gnu) Vorbis tools are version 1.4.0 (self compiled) lame is version 32bits version 3.98.4. I can't determine the version of dash, wich sh is linked to, but the man page seems to be from 2003 and dash is installed from Debian Squeeze. Any ideas?

Delta 44 on recent motherboard

by David Causse

Hi, I bought a new PC with a Gigabyte PH67 UD3 B3 mobo after my old one died. I own a Delta 44 so I needed PCI slots. It was hard to find a mobo with PCI slots, it seems to be completely deprecated (same for IDE). Back to home the tragedy started, the Delta does not work at all, kernel error message is : ICE1712 0000:05:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 19 invalid EEPROM (size = 255) ICE1712 0000:05:00.0: PCI INT A disabled ICE1712: probe of 0000:05:00.0 failed with error -5 If I try to reload the module the computer crash (no more mouse, numlock does not respond) I tried some black magic : - change PCI slot - disable mobo sound chip I don't have windows but I don't think it would perform better. I suspect an incurable motherboard incompatibility :( Note that my Delta is a bit old, I can see REV-D on the PCB with a 2003 copyright. This post is my last chance, Delta44 is the perfect card for my usage, convenient, reliable and extremely well supported on linux. My system is Ubuntu 11.04 x64 with 2.6.38-8-generic kernel, the problem was here also with a 32bits ubuntu 10.10. There is some lspci output at the end.

Audigy2 ZS

by me

I have been reading and trying to understand the inner workings of the linux sound system. I know, real shocker that someone is here doing that huh? lol A lot of this is just over my head. I will get there eventually but for right now, I am barely keeping up here. My question is this. I am using ubuntu 10 on my Compaq SR1911X tower and I have an Audigy2 ZS installed. The sound works, all the speakers are working. My system appears to be making use of the 5.1 sound scheme. But.... Has anyone figured out how to make use of the external box? Nothing works on mine. Not the volume knobs, inputs etc... Nothing. So... If someone has some insight or can direct me to where the needed info is, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your time!
