Hi,
I've recently (not quite sure when it started) had trouble with Pipewire. In my setup, I use all the drop-in replacements for JACK, pulseaudio, alsa, etc.
The problem is that sometimes, after a while, everything starts to sound like it has a bitcrusher/downsampling effect applied.
A typical path to the problem would be:
1 - start a browser tab that plays audio, pause the audio (everything sounds as expected)
2 - then start a youtube video in another tab while leaving the original tab open
3 - close the second tab
4 - go back to the first one and continue playback (everyhing sounds like there's a downsampling effect applied).
I usually have to restart the browser. But it's not only happening with browser applications. Muting and un-muting channels repeatedly in Ardour can
create the same problem.
I've observed this on two laptops, both running up-to-date Arch Linux with latest Pipewire, usually with the internal sound card.
Does anyone have a hint on how to solve this?
Best,
Niklas
Yet another bugfix release {sigh}
This was an extremely obscure PadSynth crash. To the best of my knowledge
nobody has hit it yet - it showed up in testing.
There was also a less important issue, where some compositing window managers
didn't recognise all of Yoshimi's windows as part of Yoshimi.
I'm reminded of this!
Ten little bugs hiding in the code,
Ten little bugs hiding in the code.
So you fix a little bug,
and compile it all again.
There's eleven little bugs hiding in the code.
On the brighter side there is a small new feature. If you have the virtual
keyboard visible, then selecting an instrument with the mouse from a bank will
pass keyboard focus back to the virtual keyboard. This means you can quickly
try out different sounds without any other connection.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
Hey hey,
my old Rockbox enabled MP3-player just broke and I'm looking for a
replacement. There are some requirements which make it challenging to find a
proper alternative.
I need soomething that will be recognised as a simple mass storage USB device,
i.e. can be mounted on Linux. I need playback by folder structure, i.e.
sorting by folder- and filename. Furthermore some kind of simplistic speech
output would be really helpful, since I can't see. Furthermore bookmarks and a
proper resume function are required.
I used to have a Sandisk Sansa Clip+, which was supported by Rockbox. This
player has been discontinued for years. Some players occasionally come up for
sale, but I suspect that their life span will be rather limited.
What do the joggers or audiobook fans amongst you use?
Sorry for the OT, but here, at least, I can guarantee that the device can be
adminstered from the right OS.
Best wishes and thanks for any tips,
Jeanette
