Re: [linux-audio-user] ALSA/OSS Free supported sound card with 16input channels

Patrick, thanks for your quick reply. I'm not quite sure whether your answer is really the answer on what I wanted to ask, so I'll clarify below. Patrick Shirkey <pshirkey(a)boosthardware.com> wrote: > >Your be either one rme hammerfall + digital mixing desk with adat >connectors.

I think to make sure that this is really what we need I'll have to provide a better description of the problem. We are developing a testbed for wireless voice transmission. We will have up to 16 active phones, that are independently used to receive voice samples. We have to record each voice transmission to a .WAV file (because this is what the quality measurement tool understands). To do this we will have to connect the 16 phones to a Linux box (prefered) and need the ability to save the voice sample to a file. Each sample is completely independent of all the other samples. Basically we need the ability to do "sox /dev/phonespeakerX phoneXsample.wav" where 0 <= X <= 15. >> Will we have 16 /dev/dsp devices [e.g. /dev/dsp0 .. /dev/dsp16]? >> > >If you use jack you will have an easy to understand interface for >routing the i/o's. Following your suggestion I glanced at jack. I'm not quite sure whether this is really what we are looking for.

Robert, Patrick, this was what I hoped to learn. I'll do some more research and suggest the Hammerfall for our project.

[linux-audio-user] Multiple (three) RME Hammerfalls... any experience

by Ronald van Engelen

Hi there, A colleague of mine is having major problems using multiple (three) RME Hammerfall cards using Mac OS 9 and X and consulted me for help. The problem is that he has to transfer a few hours of 72-channel music (recorded with Mackie HDR's) to his harddisk for further mixing and processing. I only have experience with (single and dual) stereo cards using alsa, jack, ardour and ladspa. I wonder if anybody have experience with multiple RME cards using alsa, and particullary experience doing such a task with mentioned tools? I haven't had the chance to examine his (Mac-related) problem but it sounds like he might suffering from problems related to his power-supply? Regards, Ronald van Engelen

[linux-audio-user] ALSA/OSS Free supported sound card with 16 input channels

by jpo234＠netscape.net

Hi List, for a project where we want to measure voice quality in a special network we need a way to connect 16 audio sources to a computer running Linux. What is the best way to do this? One card with 16 input channels? Which one? Or multiple cards with less input channels (say 4 cards with 4 channels)? Once again, which one? Will we have 16 /dev/dsp devices [e.g. /dev/dsp0 .. /dev/dsp16]?

Please have a look at In this posting, assuming that I found the correct place --- had to go there indirectly --- there is no mention of the cause of the problem. The description "well know(n)" appears to be overstatement. The testing conditions were not specified, etc. So there is no way for any reader to conclude that this is due to drivers rather than sequencer. Again, I have never had a problem with pmidi and external synths. No pitch-bending drops, etc., even though they do occur with very intense MIDI under Windows, Rosegarden, and Muse. pmidi with external synths and emu10k1 drivers with SB Live! Value have never had a problem --- not once. So I find the emu10k1 drivers to be fine for me so far.

It is quite informal and free, the main goal is to demystify Linux as a work platform for artists. I will not be going into the nitty gritty of getting applications and drivers running, I will rather be showing off several applications on a functioning debian system: ardour, pd, audacity, the ladspa plugins, but generally the format will be rather loose. The workshop is being held as part of the technology initiative of the flux factory an artist's community in queens. Flux Factory will be hosting an installfest in the future to deal with the hairer bits of installing a artist's work station (stay tuned).

[linux-audio-user] installing mplayer with live.com rtsp support

by Julien Claassen

Hi all1! I've been trying to install mplayer with live.com's rtp/rtsp support. But it fails. The ./configure works fine, but then gmake give errors in demux_rtp.* What do I need to download to perform this properly? How do I need to compile the liveMedia stuff? I mean: are there special options or c-flags to set? I must admit: I'm in need of a guide! :-) Thanks for any help!

[linux-audio-user] What HW do I need?

by Erik Steffl

I would appreciate some advices as to what HW do I need to do some simple recording. Here's what I would like to be able to do: tasks: record a guitar, possibly other instruments (not neccessarily at the same time), record old vinyl from turntable etc. [using linux PC] in: few audio channels (I can think of using 2 or 4 so I guess I should plan for about 8?) midi out: just stereo audio? or optical digital something? does it make sense to have many outputs? midi other: full duplex, I think built in midi wavetable synth is good enough for me, not sure about external mix (I've read recommendation to have one but I'm not sure why). I've read that Delta* cards are fairly good and well supported under linux - looks like delta 66 is what I want? What about Delta 1010-LT - same price, more in/out but no external box (=lower sound quality?). What about midi? I'd like to have midi in/out and wavetable synth (not sure if I really need synth). The sync-ing midi and audio is done by apps so I don't have to worry about cards working well together? I can read the specs but I'd really appreciate practical advices since I have almost no experience (well, I have few audio cards:-). TIA erik
