Might be nice to share the reviews stuff for eg. so it appears on both
sites.

How is it going? Anything to test?
Note. My system is now insisting on loading that maestro module and it thinks
it actually has an AC97! Of course, nothing plays. I do not know what is
cause it to load this.
Too everyone who's waited with bated breath for this day to come
(primarily me), rejoice in the first beta release of Specimen, a midi
controlled audio sampler for GNU/Linux systems.
Features as listed on the webpage:
# ALSA sequencer interface support.
# Audio output via ALSA or JACK.
# Individual panning and volume controls for each patch.
# High quality cubically interpolated pitch scaling.
# Sample start/stop and loop points.
# Three playback modes; "normal" just plays the sample, "trim" plays
the sample and stops early if so instructed, "loop" plays the sample
for the requested duration.
# Patch bank saving and loading in the "beef" file format.
Check out www.gazuga.net for more and to download the source. I'm
gonna spend the next few days giving the program a usability test and
creating a demo song that does it justice, so keep your ears open for
some homegrown UHB in the not-too-distant future.

So, what should a new soundapps page DO?
In the previous discussion on this list, way back in 2002,
many ideas were kicked around. I think it was originally
too ambitious. I'd like to focus for now on being a really
good resource for finding linux audio / music software.
So, here's a rough cut at a revised requirements list,
distilling the old threads:
Rough mock-up of a typical app listing page:
http://www.slinkp.com/linux/soundapp_site_roughs/app_entry.html
Notes, including links to the old discussions:
http://www.slinkp.com/linux/soundapp_site_roughs
I have just posted a rough draft of requirements on that page.
It (hopefully) includes everything important from
the 2002 discussions. I invite further discussion of these
requirements in this thread.
p.s. Somebody (Marek?) reminded me of the reasons
why anonymous users should be allowed to post new
listings & update existing ones. Thanks for that!
But I lost the mail so I'm not sure who it was.

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!!

I posted this to appreciate a powerful new product, based on Linux, though I
cannot afford to buy it myself. I did not post it to inspire bigotted hate
mail and such. Please, keep this stuff to yourselves.
Hi!
After two weeks working on that ..... i got it ... I have REVERB and CHORUS
in my SB Live ... well i need to improve some things, but i can control the
amount of reverb and chorus with MIDI control message for each MIDI
channel ... gmorgan sounds like a film with reverb and chorus. :-)
I use ld10k1 from Peter Zubaj .... a fantastic program, hi was send me a
pre-release with some improvements, as10k1 form alsa-utils to compile the
patches, i modified some bus and chorus example patches and I adapted fv10k1
(Freverb from sourceforge emu10k1 drivers), then i made som scripts to load.
Actually has some small problems, in fact the FX8010 is a mistery for me ..
and seems the TRAM delay lines of both effects are mixed ... but with some
small alsamixer hacking sounds pretty good.
If someone is interested i will send you ....
Greetings
Josep
