1. A short summary of changes
A new native Python implementation of the ECI API has been added to
the package. Ecasound.el (ecasound-emacs) has been updated to version
0.8.2. Oggs and mp3s can be now streamed directly from network.
Author information is now visible in the LADSPA plugin descriptions.
Changes in ALSA-0.9 support improve usability of ecasound with
the new ALSA dmix PCM plugin. There have been many important
bugfixes including correct handling of short parameter fades,
broken chainsetup level looping, problems with creating temporary
files and minor build system issues.

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.

Audio software for Linux!
Hello linux-audio-user-request(a)music.columbia.edu
I have received your e-mail regarding 'linux-audio-user digest, Vol 1 #332 - 9 msgs' I will be out of the office until the 24th of March. Please refer any queries that require immediate attention to Phil Carroll @ philc(a)europlex.ie

Well, I have been using a mixed environment between Linux and Windows for
recording, mixing and mastering and so far I have got good results
(http://www.artistcollaboration.com/~loauc)
That site is aimed to people willing to collaborate and they provide free
space (web and ftp), open forums and basically what we are looking in this
collaboration thread. Take a look at it: http://www.artistcollaboration.com
They have a fast connection and there is a general agreement that mixes are
posted as mp3 (or ogg, some prefer that) and individual tracks are posted
either as wma or ape (a loseless codec capable of compressing around 25 % of
the original wav size).
There has been also a discussion about porting n-Track to Linux, it could be
what is needed, just hang around the n-track forum (http://www.fasoft.com/)
and you'll realize what I'm talking about.

Greetings,
I was just curious if anyone on the list has attempted to collaborate musicly?
By "collaborate" I mean sharing of things such as "tracks" of audio (I would
assume this is the prefered method, unless MIDI is utilized and everyone has
the same hardware - doubtfull).
I would think this sort of thing would be easy. Simply decide on a musical
theme (mood, BPM, etc etc), and have at it.

Hi there:
I am testing the ALSA audio driver 5.1 channel output.
And I am using SPDIF to test it.
I am using the ALSA 0.9.1 stable version of the ALSA driver.
And using OS Red Hat Linux 7.3.
After installing the driver, how do I enable SPDIF?
Do I install a modules or?
Thanks,
Jenny
Greetings,
I am currently doing some stuff with rosegarden and digital audio. I have a
composition which is a mixture of MIDI and audio. What I would like to do is
"capture" incoming and outgoing sound.
For example, the audio in rosegarden is sent to jack, which I assume is then
sent to my pcm playback device. My MIDI stuff is an external synth going
into my pcm input device (using my "line in"). I can hear my synth through my
line in mixer setting, and I can hear the digital audio in rosegarden through
my pcm mixer setting. What I want to do is route all of these signals to a
another program that can record them, if that is possible. Is there some way
I can tell jack to "listen to my line in and my pcm out, then route that to
something else".
Thanks

Hello linux-audio-user-request(a)music.columbia.edu

Greetings. I recently purchased a SoundBlaster Audigy, thinking
it would be a good input device for use with my guitar (having
had problems with on-board C-Media and my former Diamond
MX-400). I am running it under alsa-0.9.0-rc6, with linux kernel
2.4.21-pre5 vanilla.
While using various synth tools like ams or galan (and with the
mic-in channel muted so I only hear the synth effect), I noted
that I wasn't receiving any input at all from the audio input
source. Upon further investigation, I noted that it was
necessary for me to use KDE's mixer to bump up the "IGain" to a
non-zero setting. Unfortunately, while this causes audio input
to occur, it has an unwanted tremolo-like effect.
Strangely, when I'm not using a synth tool and I'm just playing
my guitar normally (with the mic-in unmuted and the IGain off),
it sounds great. The card can accept input just fine. What's the
deal with the IGain setting, and how can I set things up
properly to avoid the "tremolo overload"?

hi, i don't mean to change the thread but, i was wondering if anyone knows
(or has used) OSC with Pure Data before. I Am trying to set up a server to
stream the output of a PD file, but am not quite sure of the logistics: i.e.
icecast or shoutcast or what?
