"Um...symbol_get and symbol_put... They're
kindof like does anyone remember like get_symbol
and put_symbol I think we used to have..."
- Rusty Russell in his talk on the module subsystem
I'm finally ready (two months after I thought I'd be) to release some
music under a GPL-type music license, but now I'm getting bogged down
trying to decide which one to use. Unlike the free software community,
which has two highly visible licenses (GPL and BSD), the free music
community seems to have a number of licenses, with no clear popular
choice.
Although most (if not all) Free Music Licenses talk about "help build a
common pool of creative expression that can be accessed and improved
upon by all of society" (from the EFF's OAL), it's not clear that
their licenses allow for that. AFAIK, I cannot combine music licensed
under the OAL with music licensed under the Design Science License
or Open Content License (except with express permission of the copyright
holders, of course). This seems to result in a number of small ponds
of artistic expression, rather than one big common pool. Is this a valid
concern, or just a wild hypothesis? :)
Does anybody have a favourite Free Music License? Right now I'm leaning
towards the EFF's OAL, but I really don't like their idea that you should
use (O) instead of (c).
Two lists of Free Music Licenses:

"If you want to use this program to make music that is against God and
Jesus (like HeavyMetal, NewAge,..) STOP and think that you'll be judged
someday by God Himself for causing many people to loose the Salvation and
go to hell. This will happen, no matter if you'll use my program, else's
program or anything else against Jesus's name.
I wish to know that my work will be used to praise the name of Jesus."
Could you be a bit more specific about the genres being against God and
Jesus? I wouldn't want to end up in hell.
And isn't this in contradiction with the GPL?

GPL v. 2)
Hi, I wrote a software syntesizer for Linux, it is
available at http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net/ or
http://sourceforge.net/projects/zynaddsubfx/ . It has
many features including: polipohony, multi-timbral,
microtonal capabilities, 2 synth engines, effects
(system and insertion), user interface.
I started this project on March 2002 and this is the
first relase. I hope that you'll like it.
Paul.

Greetings:
A while ago I polled this group for information and opinions about
setting up sound on laptops running Linux. My article has been
published, you can find it here:
http://linux.oreillynet.com/pub/a/linux/2002/09/19/linuxlaptop.html
Please note that it is rather model-centric, charting my experiences
with the HP Omnibook 4150, but hopefully it will inspire other laptop
owners who may have difficulty setting up a sound system on their
machines.
Again, my thanks to all who responded and shared their own experiences
with me. As an aside, I must say I've been rather lucky with my 4150,
and I had relatively few problems. Someday someone wil have to rate a
variety of laptops by their ease of sound setup for Linux. It's evident
that some machines and/or chipsets are just not very Linux-friendly, and
that information could be very useful for a user looking for a laptop to
run Linux audio apps.
Best regards,

The Alsa documentation is confusing me massively.
I have no problems getting a basic setup sorted but I'm having trouble when
trying to do more than one thing at a time.
I have 2 soundcards:
- via686 onboard (half-duplex hardware. Can only record OR playback, can
only playback one thing at a time atm)
- ymfpci (should be full-duplex. Can play back more than one thing at a
time. Should be able to record whilst playing back)
One way or another I need to record whilst playing back and be able to
playback from >1 source (i.e. play 2 mp3 files at once).
To do this:
- How do I go about setting up /dev/dsp1 as well as /dev/dsp? (I have edited
/etc/modules.d/alsa and update-modules to no avail. Can I do this with
seporate soundcards or
just one? (the ymfpci has 2 channels)
- How do I get my yamaha to record whilst playing back (full-duplex)? I have
followed install instructions and I think it should work
Any links or suggestions would be great. I'm finding Alsa incredibly
compilcated for me.
Perhaps (as the most simple answer) I could have the via686 using standard
OSS and the ymfpci using Alsa?

Mark. I have an Nvidia agp card which uses irq9 and a usb audio card
that I can put on 11. Now I ust have to figure out how to tell which
USB port is using 11 and which is using 4.
Thanks.

Are you able to run "alsamixer"? , I running a M-audio card with alsa driver (0.9)
And all channels are muted by default.

Subject: [linux-audio-user] How can I install on ASUS P4B266SE
Hi,

It seems to be installed without any errors but I can not speak/listen. There is no sound.
I tried to with both of alsa-xxx-0.5.xx and alsa-xxx-0.9.0rc3.
Are there any special tips?
Did Anybody have an experiences?
