Why should this happen? Looking at Ico's new RTMix, I follow the links
here
http://meowing.ccm.uc.edu/~ico/RTMix-doc/5.html
to listen to some samples.
The first sample takes me to a page
http://www.ohiolink.edu/etd/view.cgi?ucin984494016
with an mp3 link in the upper right. I click on that link and I'm forced
to download the mp3.
However, the second sample loads the mp3 in Mozilla using gxine and
plays in the browser.
Why should this happen? Why shouldn't they both play in Mozilla?
Thanks,
Mark
P.S. - I like the music Ico
I would really like to do hardware mixing since my card should support
it. I have been hacking away trying to google and decypher the plugin
docs and have created the following asoundrc. However, when I try to run
a second instance of fluidsynth on 44_2 I get the following error:
ALSA lib pcm_dshare.c:800:(snd_pcm_dshare_open) destination channel
specified in bindings is alread used. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Is alsa simply not capable of taking advantage of the ice1712 hardware
mixer? Here is the asoundrc I have so far.
pcm.44_dshare {
type dshare
ipc_key 42892323
ipc_key_add_uid yes
slave {
pcm "hw:0,0"
period_time 0
period_size 70
periods 24
buffer_size 1024
channels 10
}
bindings {
0 0
1 1
2 2
3 3
}
}
pcm.44_1 {
type plug
ttable.0.0 1
ttable.0.1 1
slave.pcm 44_dshare
}
pcm.44_2 {
type plug
ttable.0.2 1
ttable.0.3 1
slave.pcm 44_dshare
}
Greetings!
It's my pleasure to announce immediate availability of RTMix version
0.75.
RTMix is an interactive multimedia art performance, composition, and
coaching interface capable of triggering various DSP applications and/or
processes concurrently, as well as offering a tight coordination between
computer(s) and live performers. It can also trigger real-time events
utilizing MIDI and OSC protocols, and can be in theory networked from a
single client with up to 1000 other RTMix clients (personally neither
have I had the opportunity to try this and besides the network latency
would probably get the best of it anyways).
For more info on what it is, what it does, and how it does it, please
see the online docs:
http://meowing.ccm.uc.edu/~ico/RTMix-doc/
Changelog:
*Minor bug fixes in scripting language.
*Ability to connect directly to /dev/sequencer (needs to be tested --
any help in bug reporting is greatly appreciated!). This should
theoretically enable users to have theoretically infinite number of
MIDI devices hooked up to RTMix (using ALSA's aconnect).
*UI improvements (mostly "eye-candy").
*New LED icons for improved visibility.
*Improved functionality of the Console.
*Full documentation included in the distribution (just in case someone
missed this one from before :-).
*New application icons (16x16 to 192x192).
*Smaller tarball.
*This is the last version before the milestone 0.8 release with that
will sport a completely revamped UI and many new features.
RTMix has so far been featured at ICMC 2002 conference (Sweden), SEAMUS
2003 conference (US), in the "Organised Sound" magazine (December 2002),
and has been used in several of my works whose recordings are available
on my website. If you happened to use RTMix in your work, I would love
to hear in what ways you got to utilize its features, as well as how can
I make the application better. Thanks!
The tarball is available for immediate download from:
http://meowing.ccm.uc.edu/~ico/rtmix-latest.tar.gz (4.07MB)
For more info, please visit my website and/or the online documentation
(provided above).
Best wishes,

hi,
sorry if this has already been widely discussed, it looked through the
archives but couldn't find anything.
Ok, I'd like to write a live-streaming to my hard disk. So I need a
simple sound-recorder for I think there's no means to directly save an
mp3-stream to the disk.
could anyone point me towards a simple recorder?
thanks

Hello -
Just wanted to let everyone know that an article that I wrote about Linux
Audio is in the current Special Issue of Computer Music magazine. It is
Special Issue #6 - Get Professional. It came out in the U.K. on the 30th of
October and should be making its way to the U.S. and other destinations
soon. I would love to get feedback about this article directly at:
soulsource(a)cox.net. I am doing my best to try to convince more music tech
magazines to publish articles about Linux as a viable music OS -- so if you
liked the article, please try to e-mail a note to the magazine saying so...
Thanks everyone!

Hello, I got an kt400 motherboard and lspci lists the following
audiodevice:
00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.
VT8233/A/8235 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50)
The only output port that works is the green one (in the middle), the
pink one to record works fine.
I wan't to connect my stereo system at the same time I have headphones.
How do I do this?
That is, how do I enable my blue port?
I am using linux-2.6.0-test8 with the alsadrivers from that kernel.

[This has been announced on LAA already, but I gather crossposts are
expected.]
We'd like to announce the first alpha release of QSynth, an attractive
Qt front-end to fluidsynth. QSynth is brought to you by Rui Nuno
Capela, developer of qjackctl, together with Richard Bown and Chris
Cannam of the Rosegarden team.
QSynth provides a simple front and configuration interface to the
fluidsynth software synthesiser to allow persistent storage of
fluidsynth configuration (and soundfonts) as well as providing visual
feedback and front panel controls for software synthesiser
parameters. QSynth can be used either as a standalone player or in
conjunction with any compatible sequencers. For more details,
screenshots, mailing list details and to download the source code
please visit:
http://qsynth.sourceforge.net
Requirements are Qt3.1.1 and libfluidsynth.
Please let us know how you get on with it!

Well, apart from the fact that laptops have relatively poor ergonomics
and are difficult to repair and upgrade, they are an expensive
solution if you don't need portability. Also, most of my audio
hardware requires a PCI slot.
But the main reason was that I set out to build a completely silent
machine, and because of the tightly packed electronics in a laptop a
fan is typically required. These are usually very small fans
producing a high pitched whine when the CPU is under load, which is
exactly the kind of noise I was trying to avoid.

Hello,
thanks THAC i have managed to make jack run smooth enough to take a step
beyond mere experimenting with audio on Linux.
I got muse 0.6 , ams, ZynaddSubFX and ardour Beta running ok but i miss
a Sampler/Drummachine, since i fail to compile hydrogene i would be very
thankfull for any hint towards Mandrake 9.1 - RPMs containing some
Softsampler / Drumbox that can be jacked.
best regards
1. A short summary of changes
Ecasound's emacs mode, ecasound.el, has been updated to
version 0.8.3. Due to severe bugs found in the native Python
ECI implementation, the C implementation has been again set as
the default. Minor interoperability problems with older JACK
releases and Ecasound have been fixed. A bug that caused builds
against an external libreadline to fail, has been fixed.
Also recording problems with the WinTv 401Dbx and other
bt878-based devices have been fixed. This release is compatible
with the upcoming alsa-lib-1.0 releases.
---
2. What is Ecasound?
Ecasound is a software package designed for multitrack audio
processing. It can be used for simple tasks like audio playback,
recording and format conversions, as well as for multitrack effect
processing, mixing, recording and signal recycling. Ecasound supports
a wide range of audio inputs, outputs and effect algorithms.
Effects and audio objects can be combined in various ways, and their
parameters can be controlled by operator objects like oscillators
and MIDI-CCs. A versatile console mode user-interface is included
in the package.
Ecasound is licensed under the GPL. The Ecasound Control Interface
(ECI) is licensed under the LGPL.
