Hello everyone! From the tunes we're doing at packet-in.org, I have the strong suspicion a sax player would be highly valued in our midst. I remembered then, tht Bob plays the sax nicely. I still have a few of the songs done with MMA. bob, would you join us? What we have at present is a bit of simple soul and something slightly jazzy. Nothing to complicated, since RPM should be finished by the end of the month. It would be very good. If someone else is interested? http://packet-in.org Thanks and kind regards Julien =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Such Is Life: Very Intensely Adorable; Free And Jubilating Amazement Revels, Dancing On - FLOWERS! ====== Find my music at ====== http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.html .....................................

Lingering Onboard Intel ALC861 and Jack Problems

by David Baron

I have the onboard card, used as the general listening device and a Lamba USB running Debian Sid. Problem 1: Websites, i.e. U-Tube, stopped playing. I believe this is a 3.2 kernel problem, they played in 3.1. Anyone encountered this? Whose bug? Software such as Timidity and VLC did play in 3.2. Problem 2: Line input to the ALC861 not functioning. Could be hardware but these things usually do not die. Problem 3: Jack will not start. Error is: Thu Feb 9 11:49:46 2012: JACK server starting in realtime mode with priority 10 Thu Feb 9 11:49:47 2012: control device hw:1 Thu Feb 9 11:49:47 2012: control device hw:1 Thu Feb 9 11:49:47 2012: [1m[31mERROR: Failed to acquire device name : Audio1 error : Cannot allocate memory[0m Thu Feb 9 11:49:47 2012: [1m[31mERROR: Audio device hw:1 cannot be acquired...[0m Thu Feb 9 11:49:47 2012: [1m[31mERROR: Cannot initialize driver[0m Thu Feb 9 11:49:47 2012: [1m[31mERROR: JackServer::Open() failed with -1[0m Thu Feb 9 11:49:47 2012: [1m[31mERROR: Failed to open server[0m Thu Feb 9 11:49:48 2012: Saving settings to "/home/david/.config/jack/conf.xml" .

raspberry pi?

by Renato

Reading the recent ipad/android thread made me think, is there any chance JACK will run with low latency on the rasberry pi? http://www.raspberrypi.org/faqs it would really open doors... given it's size (and cost) one could make some interesting portable headless systems renato

That said, it's probably not the friendliest install. Not that it's hard to do, but it involves a few more steps than normal. It sounds like your friend might be up to the task, though.

Re: [LAU] help for a LAUer wannabe

by thijs van severen

IMO it will be hard to make him switch to AV when he is using ubuntu already. Not that its a bad idea to use AV for A and V ;-). But i still find gnome more user friendly and ubuntu allows you to easily install other non-AV-specific stuff.

This seems like a good suggestion. He's allready installed ubuntu studio and is playing with it, I'll burn him AV 5.0.3 when it gets out so he'll give it a try. Well, actually I was surprised he was able to install ubuntu aside windows, do internet and start playing with Ardour, all in a couple of hours and without help or much prior knowledge - that definitely wasn't my first linux experience years ago. Things have really gone a long way. cheers, renato _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-...

Laptops for firewire based pro-audio on linux

by Danni Coy

Looking for A laptop that will perform well under linux. Requirements... * Must have graphics fast enough to run Unigine (my day job). Prefer nVidia (higher quality drivers, easier to move systems between my workstations and laptop)... * Must be able to do low latency audio via firewire (I have a Presonus firebox, a Presonus fp8 and a TI based firewire express card) * Preferably has eSata My discoveries thus far... There are specialist audio dealers that have custom built laptops for 2k to 2.5k even some in Australia. Apple Mac Book pro seems to be the front runner in terms of off the shelf performance but - Need to check out the firewire chipset before purchase and it doesn't look like eSata is available Dell would otherwise be interesting but tends to use the Ricoh chipset for firewire which is concidered to have poor performance - is there anybody here using one of these? Lenovo -- lots of models that at least have an express card slot... Which models have people got that work ok with a firewire express card? System76 some interesting possibilities talked to one of there guys, said they may take on my suggestion of providing a laptop with descent firewire. everybody else Either no firewire or problematic firewire chipsets, No express card slot. No real market differenciation. Other suggestions?

help for a LAUer wannabe

by Renato

Hi, I've got a friend who would like to try out linux for audio and he's asking me for help. He's totally new to linux and it's been a while since I've used super-begginner's documentation, so I'm asking you for help. So, what distro should I reccomend him? is Ubuntu Studio 64 maintained and well documented? Or better go with vanilla Ubuntu? I know many like AVLinux, but I guess for a total newbie Ubuntu is safer since it's easier to find docs online and help when you get stuck with something (and sooner or later that happens when learning a new OS). Passed that, I'd like to point him to some good not-outdated docs, bonus points if in italian. For starters a little simple guide on setting up Qjackctl, maybe with screenshots, would be gold. Generally speaking, if you have any suggestions of things I should or should not tell him, you're more than welcome. BTW currently I think he's using fruity loops on windows. Also, a while ago I had found an italian forum on linux audio, but now I've lost it - anyone has a link? cheers, renato
