Somebody's already figured out the protocol by which iTunes is able to
share playlists between computers on a network.

Have fun, hackers.

Greetings:
Recently I added a DVD drive to my system. My aging RH 7.2 recognized
the drive with no trouble, and after I linked /dev/cdrom1 to /dev/dvd
MPlayer handled a DVD with not much trouble. Video performance was
sluggish though, and worse, I had no audio. So I dug into the MPlayer
docs (they're good!) and discovered lots about improving the video
performance, but I still couldn't get a peep out of the movies. The
drive's analog audio output is connected to the second card (a PCI128)
in my machine, yet no matter what I did with the mixer I got no sound.
The card output was routed out to a Bose sound system.
Here's where the weirdness starts: While fiddling around with things I
discovered that I did in fact have audio. It's coming out of my SBLive,
not my PCI128 ! Now how does that happen ?? The drive is physically
connected to the PCI128, *not* the SBLive, yet the audio is indeed
coming from the SBLive.
Can someone explain how this is possible ? Do the cards share a codec,
and does that matter ? Is DVD audio handled differently than CD audio ?
I'm very happy with my new drive and with MPlayer, and I'm glad to have
good sound, but what the hey ?!
Btw, MPlayer rocks, even under my "adverse" conditions, i.e., I
compiled it with GCC 2.96 and am using an nVidia GForce2 video card. Ha,
it all works great !

Hi linux-audio-users subscribers,
Today I have succesfully used buzz with the latest version of wine. If you
don't know it, buzz (www.buzzxp.com) is a very well thought combination of
a tracker plus a modular synth, and it's freeware (but I think there are
only binaries for windows). It has also a good community behind and a lot of
machines/modules/patches available.
It appears to work well and sounds very good... under wine (latest version
on RedHat 8.0 + PlanetCCRMA)
Just FYI, I don't remember discussing buzz on this list and you can also
tell me that's a bit OT, but you know... I can't resist ;-)
(sorry 4 my english)
Bye

An update:
PDAudio-CF, Core Sound's 24/192 S/PDIF compact flash interface card, now has
an ALSA driver. PDAudio-CF should be compatible with Linux recording
software applications that use ALSA drivers.
You can learn more about PDAudio-CF at:

Hi folks,
Im an audio newbies running gentoo-1.4
Im using the alsa drivers for my SBLive5.1 card and when I run
gstreamer-properties (version gstreamer-0.6.1-r1) the only setting that
will produce sound output is OSS ..its kind of irritating to know that
all of my gnome apps that use gstreamer are feeding the sound to OSS
instead of alsa or jack both of which are in the menulist of options for
gstreamer-properties.
So basically I was wondering if I am suppost to do something special to
make gstreamer work with AlSA or JACK.. obviousely there must be some
sort of gotcha somewhere that Im not aware of.
Thanks. Any {help|info|guidance} would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
My CD will not pass the audio of CDs to the onboard sound. If I use
XMMS and the libcdaudio plugin, the disc is seen and played but no sound
comes through (Geforce nForce audio which is run with Intel ICH kernel
configuration).
CDtool also is unable to play audio CDs, with the error
cdplay: ioctl cdrommsf
even as root, so not a permissions problem. cdir and cdeject work.
It works just fine using SCSI emulation, I can mound data CDs, write
CD-Rs, rip audio CDs.
My onboard sound works otherwise, successfully playing from the hard disk.
I have had the CD drive replaced already for another reason, but the
problem remains. There is no play button on the fascia of the drive, or
headphone socket.
Has anyone got any suggestions for my quandry?
I'm using Debian 3.0r0, Linux kernel 2.4.18
TIA, Tim

Hi,
I have some Acid loops that I want to change the tempo and pitch on
fairly radically. Acid does this itself, but only does a good job over
fairly small ranges.
Is there any non-realtime Linux app that can take a Acid wave file and
change it's length and pitch, write its output to a new wave file, and do a
high quality job of it?
Thanks in advance,
Mark

1. How does a linux system normally access an SPDIF connection? Would
this be through /dev/dsp1? Or is it normally passed to the default
sound processor (/dev/dsp)?
2. I fear my SPDIF connection won't allow _INPUT_ of signals? I'd like
to use the optical connection to attach a friends minidisc, to record
his mixing onto my harddrive.
I have a card connected the three motherboard SPDIF pins, with two
external outlets-SPDIF and optical. My motherboard manual says 'these
connectors supply an SPDIF audio cable that outputs digital audio'. The
diagram indicates the three connectors are +5V, SPDIFOUT, and GND.
Doesn't look good does it? Is this one of the reasons people end up
buying sound cards with oodles of connections?
For the record, the motherboard is an ASUS A7N266-VM, AMD Athlon 2200XP,
I'm running Debian 3.0r0/Linux 2.4.18.
TIA, Tim
