[linux-audio-user] Re: sound & midi applications page, was Re: [Consortium] linuxaudio.org

by Paul Winkler

Note: I'm moving this thread to linux-audio-user, because I think that's where this particular discussion belongs since the intention is to serve linux audio users. The topic is: a site to replace Dave Phillips' venerable, labor-intensive, hand-maintained sound applications page. It must allow visitors to easily add, update, and correct entries for linux audio/music apps. Probably also user reviews & commentary on applications. This site may or may not end up affiliated with the emerging linuxaudio.org website(s), it's too early to say. So it doesn't seem appropriate to keep this discussion on the consortium_p list.

Help at this point would consist of: 1. Refining the requirements for an app-listing site, in terms of features and user interface. 2. Suggestions for a name for the site 3. Improved visual design. This should come after the requirements are worked out. 4. Improved app categorization. There were some comments suggesting that Dave's old categories can be improved. This can always evolve, but it would be nice to have a good starting point. To keep this discussion from getting confused, I will follow up with separate messages targeting points 1 and 2. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look! Up in the sky! It's SUPERVISOR SPARK!

[linux-audio-user] what latency can I expect?

by Atte André Jensen

Hi It seems that I get quite stable performance by starting jack like this on my P4 2.4Ghz laptop with onboard i810: jackstart -R -v -d alsa -n 3 -p 256 -zt But what exactly does this translate to in terms of latency? Should I expect more? I get almost the same performance under 2.4.23 with Andrew Morton's low-latency patched and 2.6.2 with or without the mm-patch. -- peace, love & harmony Atte http://www.atte.dk

Right. This is now in the requirements doc, and I'm adding it to the mockup. Thanks! -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look! Up in the sky! It's THE CHUCKLEHEAD!

[linux-audio-user] bad lag with audiophile 2496

by Dr.Whiz-Bang

Hi all. I just joined the list, and I figured I would unload my problems on all of you, since you seem so nice form reading the archives :-) I have been using linux for years, but not ALSA. I just bought a new computer with an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 sound card in hopes of doing a little bit of recording, but I seem to have run into a problem just getting my base system configured Whenever I do something that uses sound, I get about a 3 second delay before the sound plays. Once the audio has started playing then everything is fine until it stops. I then get the delay again the next time I try to play a sound. This is a little bit inconvienient when I try to start rhythmbox and I wait for the music to start, rather annoying when desktop "beeps and dings" are delayed until after the action has occurred, and downright freakish when I try a flash animation like on homestarrunner.com. By way of example, the main page of that site contains a bunch of buttons that trigger animations and sound effects as you mouse over them. When I mouse over the first button, the animation starts but then halts while waiting for the sound effect. If I keep my cursor there, 3 seconds later the sound plays and the animation continues, and then if I mouse to the next button I must wait again. If I move my cursor to the next button while the sound fromt he first one is still playing, I get the sound effect immediately, and as long as I don't let the audio stop, every thing is fine. Has anyone seen something like this, or have any possible suggestions? I google for combinations of ice1712, envy24, lag, buffer alsa, and others but could not get any resonable results. I am using Fedora Core 1 with the 2.4.22 kernel form ATrpms and alsa 1.0.2 (also from ATrpms). I have tried disabling esd, but it doesn't make a difference. I don't have my modules.conf right now, but it is very stock (configured with alsaconf) other than a couple of lines I added to prevent searching for a second sound card (was printing messages to /var/log/messages about being able to load module for snd-slot-1 - this didn't fix my problem ;-). My system is an Athlon XP 2500+ (barton) with NForce2 ultra400, 1 gig of RAM (dual-channel), GeforceFX 5200 and Maxtor 160G sata (SiI3112 controller). Onboard AC97 audio is disabled in the BIOS. Any help would be appreciated.

[linux-audio-user] toshiba A10 - S213 - bios and kernel

by juto aviten

Sorry, but did someone received this message, I think I sent it to the list, but no one answer me, maybe it's not working?, or maybe I need to be clearer, or my problems is too specific... thanks for your answer Hello Friends, I bought a laptop toshiba A10 - S213 pentium 4 - 516 Mo and I installed mandrake 9.2 on it, i use it with the multimedia kernel of mandrake. I would like to know if one of you could access to the bios of this kind of machine, it seems that we have to use window$ to have access to it, really strange. Does someone have an idea? And also, I have some problems when I used sound and that in the same time I run a brownser or another application, the sound is cutting by some other priority of the system, I tried to give priority to sound by doing nice --10 but it's always the same, does someone had experienced this problem? thanks a lot for your help!! juto aviten http://radio.apo33.org

[linux-audio-user] Looking for a distro strategy

by Greg Reddin

With all the new releases of audio software of late and all the shift that's taking place among distros, I'm trying to devise a good upgrade path for my DAW. As it stands I'm running RedHat 9 with a patched kernel. I've installed all the audio software I use by building from scratch -- downloading, compiling, and installing individual packages. At this point, it has taken so much work to get my system where it is that I'm loathe to upgrade it. Yet, with new versions of Rosegarden, Muse, Ardour, and Jack coming out lately, I'd really like to take advantage of those new features. OTOH, I'm worried that an upgrade can cause problems with work that is in progress. An ideal world for me would be a fairly straightforward binary install process for the OS and most packages, with the capability to install "development" versions of those packages that I'm interested in playing with or contributing to. For example, suppose I found a bug in Ardour that I could patch. I'd like to be able to code, install, and test my patch without screwing up my existing system. I'd also like to be able to upgrade individual packages and back out the upgrade if it breaks something. It would be *really* cool to have something like a virtual machine where I could have a test environment and production enviornment on the same machine. Then I could get things running in the test environment and push them to production when I'm sure they are stable. Another issue is that I'm thinking of moving from RedHat, but I don't know where to move to. I tried Planet CCRMA for a while, but my dial-up made that prohibitive. I'm about to upgrade to broadband, so I may revisit that. So, anyway, how are you guys handling these issues? Do you install from scratch? Do you install audio on top of an existing distro? Which one? RedHat, Mandrake, Debian, SuSE, Gentoo, etc? Does Planet CCRMA work well for you? What about Agnula? How do you upgrade individual packages? How do you back out the upgrade if there's a problem? Do you manage a separate "test" environment to keep from bringing down your DAW? I know there's no single answer to these questions, and eventually, I'll just have to pick from all the equally viable choices. But I'd also like to learn from the wisdom of folks who have more experience with this -- find out what the pitfalls are with each choice. So I would be greatly appreciative of any suggestions you guys might have. Thanks, Greg __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

[linux-audio-user] Title for new sound-apps page

by Paul Winkler

So, the user-contributed sound apps listing page needs a title. Here's all the suggestions I could find in the last thread on this topic (back in 2002), plus a few more off the top of my head: Big Linux Audio Repository -- BLARe Audio & Music Apps for Linux (AMAL) Linux Audio Festival (LAF) Linux Audio Free Totally Encompassing Resources (LAFTER) Linux Audio Land (LAL) Linux Audio & Music App List (LAMAL) Linux Audio & Music Software Database Linux Sound Pavilion Linux Sound Roadmap Linux Sounds Zoo Linux Waves Raiders of the Lost Softs Software for Linux Audio & Music (SLAM) Sound & MIDI Software For Linux* The Cyborg Musicians Club The List The Shaking Warehouse * an oldie but goodie ;-) p.s. if you don't like any of the above, I will deny having made it up ;-) How bout some more suggestions? -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com

It's a very nice general-purpose "portal" kinda site. But it doesn't have a full-featured app database features, just links and very brief descriptions. So, I see this as nicely complementary to what I want to do. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look! Up in the sky! It's MICRO-ALLEGORICAL FLOSS ARCHER!
