[linux-audio-user] A level meter to test

by Laurent Georget

Hello! There is a new level meter called "ameter" : it is an Alsa plugin and is intended to be usable with all Linux audio programs that don't have meters, and that cannot connect to Jack/Meterbridge. Examples : Glame, Mplayer... Details and download here: http://perso.club-internet.fr/lgeorget/ameter.html Thanks for testing and reporting problems . Laurent

[linux-audio-user] Demudi Agnula

by dietrich.heese.boutin＠utoronto.ca

Apparently there are no mirrors having the new agnula beta distro available. However, you can probably try to search for it at the ircam servers. Specifically, ftp.ircam.fr there you shall find the ReHMuDi rpms, as well as a yet to be implemented agnula mirror. In the mean time if anyone finds a mirror for the agnula DeMuDi distro or a server making the following: debian-DeMuDi09-i386-biary-1.iso available(or has a cd) please e-mail me a.s.a.p. -- dietrich.heese.boutin(a)utoronto.ca

[linux-audio-user] format conversion question (long)

by ben-extra＠MIT.EDU

Hi, I have a few questions about audio format conversion. After reading a description of the purpose of this list, and reading the list itself for about 10 days, I think this is an acceptable place to be asking. If, in fact, my questions are best asked someplace else, please let me know, and my apologies. I have quite a few recordings that were made from a RealPlayer 8 live stream. As saved by vsound (.au format), they are about 500 Megabytes each! Seeing as RealPlayer reports the (original) stream/broadcast as 12.4 Kbps, and the recordings are about 3.5 hours long, I am quite sure they are being saved to disk with much higher quality then needed. :-) My basic need is to reduce their size. I am not an expert in audio processing, and I would prefer not to become an expert in order to make the correct choices for this conversion. Hence, I hope that this is an easy question for somebody(s) reading this list to answer. I don't need to conserve every possible megabyte of disk space, indeed I would prefer to be conservative, and not lose any quality. The recording is of low AM radio quality as it is... I have sox installed on my system, so I am trying to use that. I read through the man page. I don't feel a need to have stereo, so I took a wild guess as to what rate would be appropriate and did the following. My attempt was to produce a mono recording at 8000 samples per second. marit@chipmunk:/var/tmp$ sox -V test.au -c 1 -r 8000 test.wav polyphase sox: Detected file format type: au sox: Found Sun/NeXT magic word sox: Input file test.au: using sample rate 11025 size shorts, encoding signed (2's complement), 2 channels sox: Input file test.au: comment "test.au" sox: Writing Wave file: Microsoft PCM format, 1 channel, 8000 samp/sec sox: 16000 byte/sec, 2 block align, 16 bits/samp sox: Output file test.wav: using sample rate 8000 size shorts, encoding signed (2's complement), 1 channel sox: Output file: comment "test.au" ******* The resulting file sizes are then: -r--r--r-- 1 marit marit 527881224 Jan 6 15:43 test.au -rw-r--r-- 1 marit marit 191521568 Jan 7 19:13 test.wav I am open to any suggestions. I wasn't expecting 3.5 hours of low-quality audio to be 200 MB, but maybe I am naive. Am I using the wrong tool? As a separate question: How much space would I save using mp3 or ogg encoding? Thanks in advance, Ben Blout

[linux-audio-user] [ANN] JACK Rack 1.1

by Bob Ham

Hi all, Nice couple of new features with this release, a lot of code cleanups, a bit of UI work, and general betterness all round :) And, if I'm not mistaken, this makes jack rack the only application so far with LRDF support. Nee ner nee ner ;-) * proper ladcca support (pays attention to events) * added saving/loading rack configurations. this is a bit of a hack tho as when you open a file, it only adds the plugins to whatever's in the current rack. in fact, the whole of the file loading/saving is hairy atm. * added lrdf support (this is majorly phat.. categorised plugin menus :) * proper toolbar with stock buttons * control rows now have no central port label * added a menu bar * added a splash screen * added an about box (using gnome 2) * nice new icon and logo images, used for the splash screen, the window icons and also a gnome 2 .desktop * lots of code separation and cleanups and under-the-hood changes http://pkl.net/~node/jack-rack.html Bob

[linux-audio-user] alsaplayer not working with alsa?

by Mark Knecht

Hi, When running alsaplayer version 0.99.73 without jack, I'm seeing this failure: [mark@Godzilla mark]$ alsaplayer -v alsaplayer 0.99.73 [mark@Godzilla mark]$ alsaplayer alsaplayer: pcm.c:6293: snd_pcm_unlink_ptr: Assertion `0' failed. AlsaPlayer interrupted by signal 6 [mark@Godzilla mark]$ alsaplayer works very well when jack is running. Anyone else seeing this? Thanks, Mark

[linux-audio-user] Scala

by manuel.op.de.coul＠eon-benelux.com

Perhaps not everyone has heard of Scala yet, here's the homepage: http://www.xs4all.nl/~huygensf/scala One remark: the Scala user interface may give the impression that OSS is supported, but it isn't yet. It will take me some more time to do that. But at least one can try the tunings with ZynAddSubFX now. Manuel
