Hey list, using jack_capture on an -RT kernel, I see the following message from the program: Warning. Could not set higher priority for a SCHED_FIFO process using setpriority(). How could I set this higher priority? thank you all, best, Peter

OSC-controllable lightweight soundplayer for linux?

by andersvi＠notam02.no

Hello. Im looking for ways to control basic audio-playback from within an application here. Need just simple things like 'load file', 'play', 'pause'/'unpause', 'stop', perhaps 'seek s.' I know about the various -daemon and -input modes for alsaplayer and mplayer, which is a good plan-B or C - but want to look for OSC-support first. Q: does any of the standard mediaplayers (aplay, mplayer, alsaplayer, sox/play, banshee, amarok, totem, rhythmbox,xmms....) support OSC-control? Im looking for something very light-weight, fast ("instant") start-up and play. Ideally it would be a player already packaged in the standard distributions. I can probably use a "daemon-mode" player, but need to have separate access to several instances without too much fuzz. Thanks for all relevant suggestions. -anders

Building Audio from a Server Core?

Well, I just installed Squeeze with only 'laptop' and 'system tools' packages selected. And....audio (usb/Audiobox) is working without any additional downloads, tweeks or anything. So obviously something was missing in the server install. Anyway, I'm just excited that this setup is looking good so far. >> I don't need a GUI/desktop for this. >> I installed Lubuntu server core to a usb flash drive.

If there are x PA devices on my MOBO, I want to see x of them in JACK. I am one of the "few" mentioned in one post who have a 12 chan. firewire device as well as the devices on the mobo. I have a tri-amp'd stereo using a variety of JACK apps such as CALFrack and zita-lrx. (hopefully quad-amp'd and surround in the future) When I installed UBStudio 12.04 I was glad to see that PA just created the sink/sources in JACK and I didn't have to go figure something out. It's quite nice to be able to patch things around from the PA devices. I have yet to configure a surround sound system and have not seen anything showing up labeled as front, side rear, etc. (Is there a surround sound app? Do any of the apps that will play a dvd or bluray on a PC provide surround? Haven't attempted it yet, just askin.) Also, if you set the default to stereo, how does it choose whether to use the jack (as in 3.5mm) on the front or the rear of the computer case? Regards, Mac

[a bit OT] freesound.org - a short venting

by Julien Claassen

Hello everyone! I hope, that there is someone here, who has strong ties to freesound.org. I went back there today to give registration another go. I said, that their registration was rather a nuiance (captcha codes). Now I find audio captchas, as provided by google. Which is all very well. I can download the audio captcha and listen to it. After a quarter ofan hour Imanaged to guess a right code and then was asked to copy a lot of text into another entry field. OK, even that is no problem. But then, there is no button to press. Javascript. So I think, I might give it a go and send a message to kindly ask for support. But of course: I am politely asked to use the captcha. I have been wondering: for a free site, sharing material with all the world, if the world so desires, they are very well hidden. I know a fair number of commercial web sites, which are easier to access and register with, including - but not limited to - amazon and jpc, a large German musical instruments' shop,... I know, they have problems with spam, but so have others. So have/had we at some time, so have some forums, I once registered with and still, they all weren't that bricked off. - I am part of a minority, even a rather small one, seeing, that I use text-based programs, whereever possible. But I nkow of others, who do have their scripts disabled for various reasons (blind or not). I do hope, that someone here really is part of the team, otherwise I would have wasted words and flooded this list with unnecessary spam of my own. :-) Warm regards Julien ---------------------------------------- http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.html
