hi again,
here are some revised details of my problem!
i am actually running the planetccrma kernel 2.4.20-18.1.caps
when running alsaconf i get:
[root@localhost robcanning]# /usr/sbin/alsaconf
/usr/sbin/alsaconf: line 120: modinfo: command not found
/usr/sbin/alsaconf: line 127: modinfo: command not found
/usr/sbin/alsaconf: line 135: modinfo: command not found
then it finds:
hdsp Xilinx Corporation RME Hammerfall DSP (rev 32) │ │
│ │ intel8x0 Intel Corp. 82801EB AC'97 Audio (rev
02) │ │
│ │ legacy Probe legacy ISA (non-PnP) chips
then it configures snd-hdsp and runs alsasound start at which point
things go wrong:
Loading driver...
Starting sound driver: snd-hdsp
/lib/modules/2.4.20-18.1.caps/kernel/sound/snd-hdsp.o: init_module: No
such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.20-18.1.caps/kernel/sound/snd-hdsp.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.20-18.1.caps/kernel/sound/snd-hdsp.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.20-18.1.caps/kernel/sound/snd-hdsp.o: insmod snd-hdsp
failed
done
Setting default volumes...
===============================================================================
Now ALSA is ready to use.
For adjustment of volumes, use your favorite mixer.
Have a lot of fun!

I have just installed AGNULA/demudi-1.1.0 in my desktop machine (Intel
Celeron processor).
My need is to transfer two channels (that is, stereo) digitized sound
back and forth between a Tascam CR-RW2000 and a Pentium-class desktop
computer, so that the sound can be edited. The Tascam has both SP/DIF
coaxial and AES/EBU inputs and outputs.
I have no need for multi-channel operation (other than stereo), nor for
midi or routing.
Recent postings on the alsa-user mail list make me lean toward purchase
of a RME sound card, but I am confused as to which RME cards ALSA
supports. I also am confused as to whether a "multiface" or "digiface"
is required. The RME web site says that ALSA drivers are available for
the DIGI9652 and the DIGI9636; but these models are not listed on the
ALSA Sound Card Matrix web page.
Another possibility is to purchase a USB or Firewire device which
supports SP/DIF or AES/EBU input and output.
The main consideration is ALSA support: which devices (manufacturer
and model) work reliably and bug-free under ALSA?

Hi to all,
I've found a bugous beaviour in TiMidity++ version 2.11.3, shipped with
debian sid. I've alsa 1.0.1.
Starting timidity in server mode without -Os (alsa output) option:
$ timidity -iA
and than trying to connect a midi keyboard with
$ aconnect 64:0 128:0
it will freeze completly my system, I can save me from brutal reboot
only thanks to the _really_ magic sysrq key 'e'. Under X the sysrq key
'e' doesn't work.
I know that putting the -Os option is the right way but a freeze of the
system it is too much for a wrong option.
Does someone can confirm this beaviour?
Antonio.
PS Try it only in console, so you can recover with ALT+Stamp+e (at least
this works for me)
Hi,
I have Audigy2 ZS card. Alsa 1.0.2 and jack server from current
CVS are installed. Is it possible to force working on 24/96? I
have selected emu10k1 alsa driver. Is it valid selection?

Hi to all,
I'm tryng to tune my machine to get the lower latency I can get with my
hardware and linux of course.
I have an audigy player with a debian sarge with the audio apps take
from the unstable branch. I've recompiled the 2.4.22 kernel with
capabilities, low latency, preempted patches. I've compiled the source
packages of alsa 1.0.1 and jack 0.94.
I can obtain a clean sound playing timidity thru my midi keyboard using
3 fragments each of 256 (but only if I'm root, otherwise I get "can't
set sched_setscheduler" and the sound became dirty, maybe I have to
recompile it?) which means a pretty low latency for me.
On the other side I can run jack (jackstart works fine) with a period
not less than 512, and I can't change the number of periods (neither
increase) that is 2 by default. For example:
$ jackstart -R -d alsa -d hw:0 -r 48000 -p 512 -n 1
[snip]
hw:0|hw:0|512|1|48000|0|0|nomon|swmeter|rt|32bit
control device hw:0
configuring for 48000Hz, period = 512 frames, buffer = 1 periods
Couldn't open hw:0 for 32bit samples trying 24bit instead
Couldn't open hw:0 for 24bit samples trying 16bit instead
ALSA: cannot set number of periods to 1 for capture
ALSA: cannot configure capture channel
cannot load driver module alsa
$
The same it is if I set number of periods higher than two (and that's
strange, can be a configuration issue?)
- Is it an hardware/driver limit, can't I reach the same latency that I
have with timidity with jack?
- Is it normal having 16 bit samples with my card?
The last but not least, I have a general question about jack: if I a
stream pass twice or more times into jack (for example alsa in -> jack
rack -> ardour -> alsa out, 3 times) does the latency increases twice or
more, proportionally, or it is only related to the various apps latency?
Ok, I stop to bother anymore you with my (maybe stupid) doubts...
Thanks for the attention, every answer will be greatly apprecciated.
Ciao, Antonio

hi,
i am trying to get my
RME hamerfall dsp multiface (pci) working with
redhat 9 with a planetccrma kernel 2.4.21-1.11
i have downloaded the latest alsa drivers 1.0.2
and am encountering the following problem:
[root@localhost robcanning]# /sbin/modprobe snd-hdsp
/lib/modules/2.4.20-18.1.caps/kernel/sound/snd-hdsp.o: init_module: No

it seems like my card isn't being found but
when i put the card in kudzu popped up and recognized it
can anybody help - i'm quite new to linux
thanks for any help,

hi...
i have released galan-0.3.0_beta3
can be downloaded at
http://osdn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/galan/galan-0.3.0_beta3.tar.gz
while www.sf.net is down.
This version has several fixes for loading files.
so if you tried out some earlier 0.3.0 and could not load your
files back in. then try again.
i have built a 16-band vocoder. (it still has to be tuned a little)
you will get your control panel full of knobs you may try :)
a voice allocator is there now. and i updated the midi in gsheet a
little. this allows to build polyphonic synths finally.
the blop adsr can be used to correctly support note on and off.
have fun with it.

http://galan.sourceforge.net -- The graphical Audio language
Version 2.4.2 of the musical score editor NoteEdit is available:
http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/~jan/noteedit/noteedit.html
New features:
- Problems with Flex-2.5.x fixed.
The new Flex begins to behave according to
its documentation. This causes problems during
file reading: All dotted notes are wrong.
This in turn leads to totally idiotic and unaligned scores.
- MusiXTeX export with choices for character coding:
1. selection the module fonts TeX (T2A, OT2, OT1...)
2. selection the locale file (latin1, cp1251, koi8-u, koi8-r...)
3. additional selection of package ucs for UTF-8
This sould make it possible to work with international
character sets. Don't ask me too much about this topic!
All I know is:
T2A + cp1251 + UTF-8 produces Russian (Cyrillic) texts.
T2A + ucs + UTF-8 produces Urkrainian texts.
If you have problems with your character set and you know
what to do: Let me know!
- In similar manner the LilyPond export dialog now
shows a choice between ASCII, latin1, utf8
and unicode text coding. Perhaps this can contribute
to internationalization.(?)
- a terrible slur bug which prevented saved .not
files from being loaded is fixed
- Restoring slurs in graces should work. This can lead to
problems for MUP users. The reason is: I want to keep
the NoteEdit storage format as MUP-able as possible.
Actually slurs over more than one note are made
by so-called "phrases" by giving the start and stop time
in terms of the current denominator
of the time signature.
For instance slur from 1st to 4th quarter in 4/4 measure:
1: 4c; 4d; 4e; 4f;
phrase 1: 1 til 3;
Unfortunatly, graces have all the same start time and
the main note has also the same start time:
1: [grace] 8c; [grace] 8d; [grace] 8e; 4f;
phrase 1 til 1
This gives nonsense. So, I "extended" the MUP syntax.
Of course, the result is not MUP-able.
- MusicXML in-/ouput further improved (Thanks to Leon Vinken):
+ is now more interchangeable with other systems (especially on
M$-Windows)
+ better handling of trills
+ better handling of dynamics (hairpins)
- Bugs fixed:
Among them - wrong LilyPond stem statements in
"no keep stems" case
- paste inserts a lot of nonsense rests
in multiple voices per staff case
