[LAU] Universal format convertor script?

by S. Massy

Hello, There seems to be no end of script to convert everything else to OGG, which is nice, but not always practical. Does there exist a script to convert one arbitrary format to another (e.g flac to mp3, ogg to mp3, alac to flac, etc.)? The actual audio conversion is easy enough to achieve inside a for statement, but the tagging requires a little more legwork. Anyway, I will probably write such a script for myself sooner or later, but I thought I'd check here first. Cheers, S.M. --

[LAU] Where is the ALSA source now?

by Ralf Mardorf

Hi :), RME is friendly and helpful and they're interested in the status of the driver. Unfortunately I don't know how to report the status. I neither got an reply on ALSA devel mailing list, nor did I find a source to download latest version from ALSA. Does anybody know the status? Is the driver under development? Is all needed information available? I know some people on the audio list hate me :D, but this isn't a request to write a driver for the bad Ralf, RME is willing to give information, but they need information too ;). And I suspect that they prefer to talk to ALSA developers than to share information with hundreds of individual Linux users ;). Btw. ADAT for FreeBSD already should work for the HDSPe AIO :). Any idea where I can take a look myself at the status, IOW does somebody know a link to an accessible git or something like that? Even the links to the current ALSA version are broken. I didn't find a link to the sources, just mails from other people searching the source codes too. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.devel/102936 Regards, Ralf

It certainly looks like what I'm after; I'll give it a try when I have a minute. Thanks. Cheers, S.M.

[LAU] jackd: symbol 'clock_nanosleep': can't resolve symbol

by Grant

I'm getting the following errors when trying to start jackd in a uclibc system I built from scratch: jackd: symbol 'clock_nanosleep': can't resolve symbol could not open driver .so '/usr/lib/jack/jack_dummy.so': (null) The following files do reference clock_nanosleep if I open them in a text editor: /lib/librt.so.0 /usr/lib/librt.a I do have the /usr/lib/jack/jack_dummy.so file. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'd even be thrilled with a shot in the dark at this point. - Grant

Re: [LAU] Statement from RME regarding to Linux

by Ralf Mardorf

Apologize, it wasn't intended to send this mail off-list and to send another reply 2 times in different versions. Since Evolution doesn't work for my Ubuntu Studio Quantal, I need to use another MUA and Claws doesn't always do what I want it to do. FWIW, I can't make all the RME emails public and it wouldn't be from interest, but perhaps somebody once want to read the RME forums.

[LAU] Statement from RME regarding to Linux

by Ralf Mardorf

The translation of [1] is very simple, THEY DON'T HELP CUSTOMERS USING LINUX. I should ask the Linux community for support. Hm? I paid RME, does RME pay the Linux community to do the support? Does RME give all the needed information, so that theoretically a driver could be written? Regards, Ralf [1] Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2012 12:51:30 +0100 From: RME Support <support(a)rme-audio.de> To: Ralf Mardorf <ralf.mardorf(a)alice-dsl.net> Subject: Re: ADAT 3 bis 8 nicht verfügbar - HDSPe AIO [...] Sämtliche Linux-Treiber werden ausschließlich von ALSA-Projekten bzw. -Entwicklern zur Verfügung gestellt, wir haben noch nie eigene Linux-Treiber geschrieben und können hier daher leider auch keinerlei direkten Support bieten. Wie gut die ALSA-Treiber bereits an die AIO angepasst sind, vermag ich auch nicht zu sagen. [...]

[LAU] Spandril - music made with Supercollider

by mark hadman

http://soundcloud.com/spandril Ambient / industrial drones, mostly made using supercollider. It's been the best part of a year since I first posted about this, in which time I've released at least 10 new tracks, started incorporating some acoustic and analogue electronic elements and done a few live performances.

I've used both PCI and PCIe cards on Linux (both 32-bit and 64-bit) and the hardware has performed flawlessly out of the box. But I am using the HDSP card for Multiface II, maybe the AIO cards work differently with the driver? -- Brett W.

[LAU] What professional PCIe audio cards do work with Linux?

by Ralf Mardorf

Hi :) I already asked on some lists about my RME HDSPe AIO card. I explicitly bought this for Linux usage only in 2011, but never needed all available channels until now. Now I notice that the card can't be used for serious audio productions. At the moment I'm producing. It's very time consuming and a lot of the things I need aren't available. The card + ADAT comes with 10 IOs, but only 4 can be used, so I only can loop in one 19" reverb, already a help, but not enough for my needs. Are there any professional PCIe audio cards that are working with Linux? I'll ask this on several lists, perhaps somebody does know such a card at least on one list. Regards, Ralf
