Greetings,
Recently I picked up Peter Gabriel's _Up_ disc. In the fine print on the
outside of the case it says "This is an enhanced CD. Please put it in
your computer."
Of course, the finer print inside says that by "computer" they mean a PC
or a Mac. My linux box won't recognize the executable to play the durn
thing: it's encoded so that on a CD-ROM the tracks can't be accessed
directly.
Two questions:
1) Is there a linux utility that can deal with such?
2) (Somewhat off-topic for this list) I'm presuming the answer to 1) is
"no." If this is the case: When I boot up the Windows side of my
(dual-boot) system, and put in the disc, the executable brings up a menu
one option of which is "play." If I click on this it starts the generic
Windows CD player, which is of course useless for, well, turning the songs
into ogg files.
How would I set up a symbolic link in Windows, so that a call for
the generic CD player brings up, say, musicmatch? I can usually deal with
these things in linux but I'm not very confident messing things around in
Windows.
I know Micro$oft products aren't the usual topic of discussion on this
list; I promise not to make a habit of these sorts of questions.
Thanks!

I actually have a Sony PCM. If you'd like to send me a copy of the tape I'll be glad to dump it for you.

Subject: [linux-audio-user] Sony PCM-F1 to digital
Help!!
?? Is there any way to go from a video tape in the Sony PCM-F1 format
to digital other than playing it on a Sony PCM 601??
Thanks
Greetings:
I'm configuring a system for a friend whose musical needs are quite
simple, but in the course of things he asked me which motherboards are
preferred by Linux audio people. I confess I'm not very savvy about the
subject, but I figured some of you folks would lend your opinions
regarding suitable boards for either amateur or professional use. Of
course I'd also like to know if there are particular boards I should
avoid. TIA !

I'd also be interested in knowing the figures. Are you using all four channels
of audio in and out simultaneously, m?

Hi, I am looking to install alsa on a laptop along with something
for more reasonable sound such as a Roland ua-20.
I was wondering if anyone had successfully done something similar
or knew of any information resources?
So far I have heard that alsa does not work, only oss, and that
the latency that can be expected with such a set up is worth neglect.
However, these were all claims from a year or two ago, since then
I have seen a message wherein a claim to having repaired some known
quirks in Roland ua-20 with alsa were established.
ANy light shed on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
SIncerely,
DHB
Sounds like whatever graphical display you are trying to use is trying to access an OpenGL related function (Or some kind of function that has to do with 3D). The nv driver used for Nvidia cards supports 2D ONLY. I would recommend going to Nvidia's web site and downloading the latest driver and GLX driver that fits your distro configuration. Then see if that fixes your problem. Basically the message is telling you that it's trying to access something that simply does not exist for the display device.
Also, I doubt this is an ALSA problem, so always make sure that you check to be sure that you have narrowed the problem down to an ALSA specific problem before posting it on this list.

Subject: [linux-audio-user] problem with snd
Using the current Planet CCRMA rpms on a RedHat 8.0 system running ALSA,
lowlat kernel, etc. I get the following error when trying to execute
the graphical snd linked to openmotif:
Xlib: extension "NV-GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Segmentation fault
Snd and its tools work fine at the console, but this gui problem has me
stumped. My Dell 410 Workstation has the NVIDIA/TNT2 video chipset but
I am running the distro's XFree86 driver not the chipmaker's accelerated
one. I'm assuming this NV-GLX in the error message is in reference to a
video configuration problem.
I guess I'm not making this sound like a Linux-audio problem, but
afterall, it is snd.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Greetings:
I'd like to try building the latest ReZound soundfile editor, but it
appears that the required FOX Toolkit is seriously off-line. Does anyone
here know where I can retrieve the FOX sources ?
