I don't think this is a problem; you can usually turn off the GC during time-critical code, and in most cases, such code is in C anyway (handled via a foreign function interface), and at least in normal use, you're in control at that level. Besides, modern hardware is far faster than people seem to realize, and modern GC's don't spend much time on a sweep. Gad, now I'll have to go and run some tests...

Infact, I don't think there is a function for it, and its definitely needed. Shouldn't we try to convince the guile people to add that functionality? --

[linux-audio-user] is it likely that JACK get included in any of these distros? what about SC?

by micro.ispretty

hi am still making footprints as a linux user started using SC3 @ OSX but prefer using it @ promt mode linux the difficult part of linux is that you have to learn a lot before you run a program if it is not included in the distro the best way for me to learn is to run anyway and learn deeper gradually and a about to make my mind to just wait until things get prepared in the distro since ALSA became the default of Kernel 2.6.x is it likely that JACK will also get included in any of many distros? i will at least learn Planet or DeMuDi ? what about SClang? will i be waiting forever because there is some reason that things cannot be handled that way? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

[linux-audio-user] ALSA compatible sequencers

by Mark Johnathan Greenaway

Are there any sequencers that support using ALSA for MIDI i.e. could control Hydrogen/alsamodularsynth/fluidsynth? Mark

RE: [linux-audio-user] RME DIGI 96/8 PAD or Marian Marc 2 Pro

by Reuben Martin

I use a 96/8 Pad. Works great with ALSA and Jack both. I try to keep this page up to date about RME96/8: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=rme96 I can't speak for the Marian Marc 2 Pro. If you're up to it, I would recommend Gentoo over Red Hat + Planet CCRAM. It takes more work, but I get much better response from my machine with audio apps under gentoo. regards -Reuben -----Original Message----- From: Mirouf Linux [mailto:mirouflinuxaudio@yahoo.fr] Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2004 3:33 PM To: linux-audio-user(a)music.columbia.edu Subject: [linux-audio-user] RME DIGI 96/8 PAD or Marian Marc 2 Pro Hi everybody, I've got choice between RME Digi 96/8 PAD and Marian Marc 2 Pro in order to put in a Linux Box runnig Red Hat 9 and Planet CCRAM. Somebody Told me the RME Digi 96/8 series have some problems with alsa settings, did anyone use it? Does it work well with/without Jack ? Did someone run a Marian Card with ALSA (no info on alsa-project home page), and specialy a Marc 2 Pro? Does it work? Thanks François Gueurce Yahoo!

Re: [linux-audio-user] Should I Bother Learning Csound?

I'd say its a supergreat combination where you get easy/clean programming with python, functional programming with the guile pd-external, sound processing power with SC3, and GUI with pd.

C are fine for making hardware drivers, c++ can be fine if you need OO to C, and java is horrible in all possible ways. My opinion. :) --

[linux-audio-user] what version of alsa to use with maudio quattro

by Brian Redfern

I've been having some wierd problems with the stock drivers in CCRMA with the quattro, I get sound in just fine, but no sound out, when I switch it correctly its just distorted hiss, what version of alsa are people using to get both input and output working from their quattro, and can you get full duplex, and if you guys don't mine sharing how you did it, I'd appreciate it.
