While on the topic, I seem to remember having read about a plan to
incorporate Alsa in an upcoming version of the Linux kernel, that would be a
plan to switch from OSS to Alsa as the "official" / preferred sound support
in Linux. I think I heard about it something like 1 year ago as something
that was in Linus' mind for the near future? Does this make any sense or am
I talking b_llocks here? Reason I'm asking is because of your responses
regarding Alsa support in the different distributions Mandrake / Debian /
Fedora, I was thiking hey wait a second, I thought it was part of the kernel
by now?
Anyone familiar with the status of sound support?
Cheers,
Alex

Hi everyone,
It's been a while, although this time there's not much. Just minor fixes,
nothing very outstanding. However here it is, a new public release for
QjackCtl, the little Qt (cutie:) application to control the JACK sound
server daemon, specific for the Linux Audio Desktop infrastructure.
Check it out from the usual place:
http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net
>From the changelog:
- Patchbay socket dialog client and plug list option items are now
properly escaped as regular expressions.
- JACK callbacks are now internally mapped to QCustomeEvent's instead
of using the traditional pipe notifications.
- The system tray popup menu is now featured as a context menu on the
main application window too.
- The reset status option is now included in the system tray popup menu.
- Server stop command button now enabled during client startup interval;
this makes it possible to stop the server just in case the client
can't be activated for any reason.
- Top level sub-windows are now always raised and set with active focus
when shown to visibility.
Hope you enjoy.

Hi all!!
I need to use timidity as demon, but I can't find the right way... i.e. I have to backgrounding it to make rosegarden play midi files, or to let denemo to play what i'm writing.
Can you help me?

Hi,
I need to automate a process for slicing audio files in AIFF format on multiple
files everytime perfect silences are met (zero-amplitude). This should be
multiplatform (Linux/Mac/Win) and minimal (no GUI, only command-lines: one
should just have to launch the script / program). The handling of standard UNIX
commands like changing and listing directories, moving or renaming files... is
requested.
I've thought of Octave or Scilab but I couldn't find their Mac version and the
AIFF file-handling wasn't that great. Alternatively, I could write a shell
script, but I think I'd still need a piece of software to understand the audio
files and determine whether it's silent or not. Sox? At last, I could write my
own C software, bearing in mind it may need customizing along the OS where it is
compiled...
Any idea?
Cheers,
Christian Frisson
I'm looking at getting an M-Audio Delta 1010 for the
music workstation I'm building and have a few questions
about supporting hard/software requirements. Does the
1010 route all ten inputs discretely into the PCI
interface such that there is no need for a hardware
mixer to process the inputs? If so, what software
provides the best alternative to an eight channel
mixer? Are the outputs assignable or are they tied to
their respective inputs? What other hardware do I need
aside from input sources, cables, balanced to 1/4" TIP
adapters, amplifier(s) and speakers to handle 8 channel
recording/playback?

Hello,
I'd like to know if there is a tool to create live CDs under Linux.
I recorded lots of live concerts from the radio or of my own bands with
a DAT recorder. I use the M-Audio Audiophile 24/96, ALSA 1.0.3 and
ecasound to copy the 48 kHz tapes onto my harddisk:
ecasound -c -r -b 512 -f:16,2,48000 -i alsa,ice1712_spdif -o file.wav
I use Audacity to amplify, normalize, cut and fade in/out. For
downsampling I use sox:
sox file.wav -r 44100 file44.wav polyphase
(So far: Do you have better solutions concerning quality?)
Now my problem is to burn the resulting file onto an Audio CD with track
markers and CD-text. I am not aware of a Linux program to do this (and
still have to dual boot for Feurio :-( ).
Does anybody know a suitable tool?
Ciao,
HippiE
I guess what I'm really trying to accomplish is to
sort of become the Isao Tomita or Wendy Carlos of my
own linux box, just for my own amusement. I've used
an older v. of timidity when I've booted into Libranet
(OSS, not ALSA), and I used the timidity that came
with Rehmudi 1.1.0, but for some reason the timidity
on my Demudi 1.0 is broken -- can't find midia.cfg,
which is supposed to be in the pkg but isn't there (I
checked, too, using midnight commander)
Anyway, that's not really the point. Once I can get
it up & running to play the midi files generated from
rosegarden, I'd like to figure out how to create my
own *.pat files, or mess around with the ones
included.
Any help for a chronic newbie?
Thanks,
Mark
Oh, and don't bother suggesting I download the new
version of Demudi -- I don't have the bandwidth, so
I'll have to wait 'til it shows up on Cheapbytes! ;-)
