We will recheck. I have immense faith in Fernando, but everyone makes
mistakes.

Does anyone have any recommendations for cheap SMP motherboards?
Something that can handle a couple 667 PIIIs would be ideal, but if the
total price including CPUs is <$300, I'll consider it.
My motherboard seems to not work with SMP anymore (freezing, restarting).
I'm pretty sure it isn't a kernel thing because I've tried every version
between 2.4.17 and 2.4.20 and they all act the same. It used to be rock
solid at 2.4.18.
Alternatively, I'd like the name of a good vendor of motherboards.

Thanks Paul.
I'm still struggling with getting this new card going. Fernanado and I
are working through the issues one at a time by doing a Planet RPM for
the newest version alsa and have applied the one line patch that you
pointed me at the other day. However, I'm still not running.
1) Fernando applied the one line patch applied:
--- hdsp.c-orig 2002-12-03 19:28:40.000000000 +0000

break;
2) Alsaconf works, sort of. modules.conf gets built, but my machine will
not reboot after running it. Don't know why.
3) When I boot I see the following message in /var/log/messages

sorry for the crosspost, but i'm not getting any response from
alsa-user list and I know these devices have been discussed
here before. I've searched the archives thoroughly, but
found no report of anyone succeeding in using an oxygen
via usb with recent version of alsa. Is that still the
case?

I picked up an Oxygen today, and I seem to get as far as
getting the firmware loaded (via midisport_firmware)
and loading the snd-usb-audio module,
but I don't seem to be able to actually use it.
I have kernel 2.4.19, with the latest hotplug and fxload
sources from the hotplug sourceforge page (not from cvs).
When I start alsa, the snd-usb-audio module starts:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/alsasound restart
Shutting down sound driver: done
Starting sound driver: snd-ice1712 done
Starting sound driver: snd-usb-audio done
Starting sound driver: snd-virmidi done
Starting sound driver: dummy done
No state is present for card virmidi
When I plug in the oxygen I get this in /var/log/messages:
Dec 8 00:50:27 kermit kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 5
Dec 8 00:50:28 kermit kernel: usb.c: USB device 5 (vend/prod 0x763/0x1014) is not claimed by any active driver.

I expect the oxygen to show up as snd-card-1 because that's what's in
my modules.conf:
# begin of alsa section of modules.conf
# for alsa native support
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-ice1712
alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio

options snd-virmidi enable=1 \

# end of modules.conf
... but here's what I have:
$ cat /proc/asound/cards

M Audio Delta 66 at 0xe000, irq 16
2 [virmidi ]: VirMIDI - VirMIDI

So where's the oxygen????
What am I missing?

That's fine (for now). I'm (relatively) new to Linux, so I've
come to the conclusion that I need to put seqencing and more
compicated things like that in the future. Having ecasound
(on my main computor) and my (now finished) dedicated RTSynth
box together I can do it like they did in "the old days" while
I slowly try out (and learn) more advanced things now that I
finally upgraded from SuSE 6.4 to SuSE 8.1. That upgrade was
like opening up pandora's box.

They happen to be programs I haven't tried. So those chapters
will introduce me to those programs.

Perfect! Being that I've been using SuSE 6.4 (up to the upgrade)
I haven't even approached alsa yet. And I don't want to until
I *have the time and attention* it deserves. I'll read the other
chapters and get aquainted with what has come before (again... I'm
still kind of a newbie). Meanwhile oss is allowing me to get things
done.
You've given me an outline of what to look for (in your book)
and what to keep in mind as being (possibly) out of date. I
will focus on those chapters. Maybe by time I'm ready to
focus on the more newer developments, the new book will
be out.
> I suppose a lot of the material is most useful as starting points,
As a (seasoned) newbie, I'm sure it will help. I've jumped right
in the middle of all this and need some starting points. I'm in
this for the long haul, so I don't mind getting the background on
the fundimentals.
Thanks,
Rocco

I'm not familiar with the -z:nointbuf but I've had exactly the same noise as you described and I was able to get rid of it with the -b option.
It was tricky though. I stared with -b:64 (didn't work), then I doubled to -b:128 (didn't work). To make a long story short, after doubling for a while, I ended up dropping the number by 100, then by 50... until I narrowed it down to the _exact_ buffer size that stopped the clicking.
It may be different for you, but I think the number that worked for me (at the time) was -b:150.
BTW, they say that the -b option works best with even numbers.

Yea... if you're putting a "line level" device (sometimes marked as "aux") into a mic input, you are sending a higher voltage level into than the mic input is designed to take. I think you could actually damage something (possibly).

Hi all,
despite of my hunt with google, I just couldn't find any module-player with jack-support. So, I wrote a small script. The xmp module-player allows for playing individual tracks from a module-file, and ecasound gives them out to jack. Yeah, it is an ugly hack, (better would be jack-support to xmp) but it sort of works (though not perfectly: connecting ports is slow).
--cut--
# python jmp.py --help
xmp.py options:

hi everyone !
lately, the number of posting attempts from non-members has risen to a
point where i'm just rejecting them without reading each one and checking
if it's on-topic or has already been sent to the list from another
account.
our current list policy is members-only posting, for the following
reasons:
* i believe people who want to profit from a community should take part in
it
* spam prevention. so far, it has saved everyone from about .5k spam msgs.
a number of list subscribers seem to post from different addresses, so
some of their mails are being rejected. if this applies to you, there is
always the possibility of subscribing multiple addresses and disabling mail
delivery for all but one via the web interface.
best,
jo"rn
