I've had a Delta 66 PCI audio card for over a decade, and it's always sounded great. I recently had to transfer it to a new PC with a fresh install of Fedora 17. Now, when I play anything using any pulseaudio client, I get a strange digital noise (sort of like static, but almost like aliasing too). This does NOT happen when running jack, as far as I can tell. Aside from disabling or uninstalling pulseaudio, is there anything else I can do? Does anyone else have this problem?

Google TV device w/ AV out

by Dan MacDonald

I asked on this list recently if anyone had come across one of the USB pendrive-sized ARM/ Android devices but with a headphone jack and got no response but it seems such things do exist already, or at least there is one such model, the MX3 RK3066. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MX3-Camera-8G-Android-4-1-Mini-PC-RK3066-Google-T… At ~70GBP its twice the price of similar spec devices that lack the AV port and the (likely totally useless) webcam so its a bit of a risky purchase for me until someone confirms that the AV port works with regular ALSA. Should the temptation to get one of these overcome anyone, please let me know how you get on with the AV out under Picuntu (or whatever non-Android Linux distro you may install on it). If it works I suspect I won't be able to resist the novelty factor.

[a bit OT] Sebkha-Chott performs Frank Zappa's Thing Fish feat Ike Willis: crowdfunding call

by Aurelien

Hi all, Well, this is a bit off-topic, but I know there are a lot of Frank Zappa fans in there, and actually, this project will, once more, used free software onstage (especially a videoprojection software to simulate the decorum). So, here it is, Sebhka-Chott will perform Frank Zappa's Thing Fish in commemoration of his death, 20 years ago. Thing Fish is kinda Broadway Musical Comedy, but as Zappa wrote it, it's absurd, freaks, and funny. Zappa never could perform it on stage, and, from what we know, it only has been performed once, in London in 2003. We will perform it at the Zappanale festival, in Germany, on 2nd of August, and moreover, we will perform it in an extended version of Sebkha-Chott, implying 13 people, including *IKE WILLIS* the original Thing Fish, the singer of the album, and actually, the companion of Zappa during his last 20 years. Today is the day we launch a crowdfunding action, because it's a big project, and we need help to make it possible for us to work on this not only as volunteers! A dedicated page is available here: http://ammd.net/-Sebkha-Chott-Galoot-Formula- with some explanations about the project, and with a *TEASER* performed, mixed and rendered with free softwares only (you should recognize several Sebkha-Chott's typical). To end up, I must admit, this time, and this time only, we're not speaking about free art, cause Zappa Family Trust does not really manage Zappa's thunes this way.... Thanks a lot for reading.

More oldskool goodness: The Scene

by Louigi Verona

When you are working on a music album, you sometimes run into tunes that don't fit the mood or style of the album. This is what happened to this tune. I love making tunes that have a stadium feel and additionally this is so oldskool and very acid-like! This anthem is a tribute to the Linux Audio scene. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OeowU3RwY0 If you want FLAC, get it from Bandcamp - it comes as a bonus track. For those of you who have already gotten the album, I hope you can get it from your downloads? I am not sure if this is so, so please tell me if it is there. And please keep in mind, the album is absolutely available for 0$. All donations are voluntary and I warmly thank everyone who have supported "Another Reality" LP, it's been very inspiring! Cheers! http://louigi.bandcamp.com/album/another-reality -- Louigi Verona http://www.louigiverona.ru/
