hi all... just wondering if there are any Zaurus users on the list - the older version not the new one... i've seen one in action and i know its got good media player facilities - some kind of xmms i seem to recall?... but im curious as to what else will run on it... thinking about getting one as a replacement to the laptop i thoroughly destroyed yesterday. dropped it from a bench, shattered screen and damaged motherboard. i'll be lucky if i get the data back. compaq armada's are flimsy things - if it had been the Dell i used to have, chances are it might have been salvagable.... thankx m~ -- |\ _,,,---,,_ ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ HTTP 503: Too Busy |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' '---''(_/--' `-'\_) fL .::. www.iriXx.org .::. www.copyleftmedia.org.uk .::. gnupg key ID: AEB7A31E

[linux-audio-user] Ann. Vstserver V0.2.8 and Ladspavst V0.1.5

by Kjetil Svalastog Matheussen

These updates makes it possible to use windows vst plugins in linux applications getting very descent realtime performance. I have successfully ran vst plugins in ardour with 2.66 ms latency. Sources: http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/ Linux Vst Compatibility Page http://80.61.20.184/vst/ Tutorial: http://www.djcj.org/LAU/quicktoots/toots/vst-plugins/ Mandrake binaries: (not the latest versions (yet)) http://rpm.nyvalls.se/sound9.1.html Vstserver 0.2.7 -> 0.2.8: ------------------------- -Added SCHED_FIFO priority and locking all mem (mlockall) to the processing thread. Can be used without being root by for example using the givertcap program by Tommi Ilmonen http://www.tml.hut.fi/~tilmonen/givertcap/ To turn off realtime priority, start the vstserver with either the "-NRT" or "--nonrealtime" flag. vst ladspa plugin v0.1.5 - stable ---------------------------------- -Fixed the worst nonrealtimeness for the default mode. When using realtime priority on the vstserver, it should not be necesarry to set LADSPAVST_RT to "1". --

[linux-audio-user] problem with sound-recorder / low volume

by Matthias Knelangen

hi, i tried sound-recorder 0.06 with the following command sound-recorder -c 2 -f -k x.wav and just linked my line-out to line-in. I could record sth but it had a volume so low that you could almost not hear it. As I've never done any recording, does anybody know how to adjust line-in volume thanks matze -- Matthias Knelangen matthias(a)knelangen.de ---------------------------------------------- Outside of a dog, a book's a man's best friend.

[linux-audio-user] Multimedia kernel patches?

by felipe

Hi list, for the past few months I've used Kon Coliva's kernel patches ho have all the requisites to run jackd & Co. http://members.optusnet.com.au/ckolivas/kernel/ But last time I checked those patches they gave me a bunch of errors against 2.4.22, plus I notice such development seems to have slowed down a lot. What patches do you use to make a preemptible/lowlatency/capabilities enabled kernel? Where do I find them? =) thanks, bye -- Email.it, the professional e-mail, gratis per te: http://www.email.it/f Sponsor: Incontra nuovi amici su match.com ti stiamo aspettando!

by aguerrier

Does anyone on the lists uses Medialinux? I know it is based on Knoppix 3.3-which is great. Does it have any shortcoming or known issues?

[linux-audio-user] JACK-0.90.0 Released

by Taybin Rutkin

********JACK 0.90.0******** JACK is a low-latency audio server, written primarily for the GNU/Linux operating system. It can connect a number of different applications to an audio device, as well as allowing them to share audio between themselves. Its clients can run in their own processes (ie. as normal applications), or can they can run within the JACK server (ie. as a "plugin"). JACK is different from other audio server efforts in that it has been designed from the ground up to be suitable for professional audio work. This means that it focuses on two key areas: synchronous execution of all clients, and low latency operation. Source packages for Jack 0.90.0 are available http://sourceforge.net/projects/jackit/ . ********Major Changes******** Buffers can resize during operation. This can be triggered by the user or by the function jack_set_buffer_size(). See the documentation for details. It is new code and still needs a shakedown. It can be enabled with './configure --enable-resize'. If not compiled in, jack_set_buffer_size() returns ENOSYS. Applications should be prepared for it though. Major rewrite of the thread model. This won't affect users. Thanks to the rewrite, jack now has a "freewheeling" mode for faster than realtime operation. It decouples the engine from the soundcard. The alsa driver has 3 new options. --i, --inchannels sets the number of channels to open for input. --o, --outchannels sets the number of channels to open for output. -S, --shorts changes the order of in which the sampleformats are tried. The driver will try to use 16bit samples first and only tries 32bit if this fails. Useful if you digitaloutput card supports 32bit samples but your interface doesn't. ********Minor Changes******** Greatly increased support for other architectures. --version also prints out the temporary directory. Example clients expanded to be more helpful. Many bug fixes. Updated and improved documentation. Portaudio driver works on linux. jack_connect() returns EEXIST if a connection is already made. Addition of jack_get_current_transport_frame (). hw:0 is the default ALSA device instead of "default". Jack's build system has better optimization. --silent option for halting jackd's output. Removal of --tmpdir and --asio options. Will compile with alsa-lib-1.0.0pre1 (the latest). ********Other******** Jack now has a mantis bugtracker at http://jackit.sf.net/mantis/ . Please use that for bug reports. James has written a tutorial for jack programmers available at http://dis-dot-dat.net/jacktuts/starting/index.html . ********Deprecated******** These are deprecated structures and functions that have been deprecated. They will likely be removed in a future release. The jack_transport_info_t struct has been deprecated. Please use jack_position_t instead. jack_engine_takeover_timebase() has been deprecated. Please use jack_set_timebase_callback() instead. jack_set_server_dir() has been deprecated. jack_get_transport_info() has been deprecated. Please use jack_transport_query() instead. jack_set_transport_info() has been deprecated. Instead, define a JackTimebaseCallback.

[linux-audio-user] [RFC] Request For Contest - The Linux-2.6 theme song contest !

by Robert Jonsson

Hi Everybody, This mail is a direct consequence of the song Austin Acton posted recently. :) A nice little tune made with linux, about linux, that has been quite successful with very little advertisement. After a few brain rotations (before you ask, yes, I think by rotating my brain) I came to the conclusion that RIGHT NOW is a wonderful time to start a write_the_best_linux_song_contest! My reasoning is that linux-2.6 is just around the corner, people are hungry for any kind of linux related information, no matter how far fetched (I don't even think this is very far fetched). Making a little contest to choose THE linux-2.6-theme-song seems like a very good way to attract some easy publicity, the main thing we want to do is make people interested in (and aware of) audio production under linux. I'm confident that Slashdot (or any news site in the free software world for that matter) would gladly do a story on this event. BUT before we get to that, let's atleast produce some music ! :) Some criteria I thought would be applicable: - The song must be about linux in some way (about linux 2.6 seems the obvious choice). - The song must be (atleast) processed with a computer and that computer must run linux. - No computer running an operating system that is nonfree can be used in the production. (External synthesizers or similar stuff with advanced capabilties don't count as computers and can thus be used) - The song must be written by the artist (possibly used with permission). - The song would preferably contain some kind of voice track ( it might be hard to hear that it's about linux otherwise, and it would be nice to know how you people sound :-) - the better the audio quality the better, though I think there are other qualities of the recordings that count. - Some info about the applications/gear used should be included (atleast applications). - No prices, just free publicity for anybody that joins, and most publicity for those that reach the top in the event that we actually pull of a vote. We already got one song, Austins! I'm in the middle of producing a naive electronic piece myself (I mainly play the guitar) that I think will be applicable also. But... two songs don't make a contest... So, what do you say? Are we up to it? I'm calling all linux-artist wannabees, this is the time! I dare all developers that aren't on a deadline to take some time of from coding and also participate, bring out the artist in you! :) Wouldn't you just die to hear "The ballad of Alan Cox", or "Linus' Theme" or "The Bitkeeper Blues" :) (those are free btw if anyone gets any bright ideas ;) >From now til, say, December 14, one month, might be enough time to do something creative, yes? Let me know if there is any interest for this then I will try to formalize things a bit, website etc. Well don't just sit there, let's do it! :) /Robert
