Patrick,
I write this not for dissecting your offer or with any bad intentions
at all. You had complained that no one seems to be interested in your
job offer. All I want is to help you understand the possible
shortcomings of your offer. That's all.

Yes, sure Germany's job market is quite better than in most (all?)
other European countries. That'S pretty obvious, isn't it?
Therefore, "a salary" alone is not enough if you want qualified
people. A *good* salary is what people want and qualified people
usually get.
And you should have grasped already that your job offer does not
comply with the standards we have here for job offers. It is obscure,
dubious an the complete opposite of a "high recommendation". That's
the issue!

Costs, their calculability and your liquidity! If you get a company
car *everything* is covered. Every repair, the fuel, insurance etc.
You just have to pay income taxes on 1% of the car's resell list price
each year. So the cost of using a company car is absolutely
predictable. Compare this to the situation in which you use your own
car for your job even if you get a bit more money:
* You have to pay each repair, new tires etc.
* You can't even set those costs off against tax liability if your
using your private car
* What if the car breaks completely? Will you have to pay for a new
one just for keeping your job?
* You bind a lot of cash in an object that loses value
=> you take all the risk that your employer should take if you need a
car for doing the job. The actual price of using the car is not
predictable.

The fiscal handling of company cars is very different in other
European countries as far as I know.

You got this responses not beacuse of the "choice selection of
information" you gave but mainly because of the large selection of
information that's missing. Information you would usually expect to
see before your applying on a job offer. Moreover, as I was trying to
tell you for a while, the information you gave just didn't seem
attractive for a couple of reasons to qualified people here in
Germany.

Sorry for the pun, but how bad can that job be if you think you would
get negative responses if we knew what it is? I don't understand this.

On the contrary, it's not enjoyable at all. As I mentioned above, all
I try to do is help you understand why your job offer might not be as
attractive as you think so that you might rephrase it in a proper way.
Kind regards,
Felix
Hi,
I just stumbled on this, a GPL software synth I had never heard of
until now. I thought you guys might be interested :
http://tytel.org/helm/
I am not the author of the software, nor have I even tried to use it.
Enjoy.

Hey hey everyone,
I've just deleted a couple of files from my home directory and can't recover
them. Can I save the current ALSA setup, so that I can recreate my .asoundrc
from it? Is there perhaps a copy somewhere?
Thank you for any help!

Hi, i'm Ílson Bolzan, from Brazil.
I'm having problems with my interface, and i'm not sure if they are because
of alsa, or jack.
The inputs are working fine, but they only work when i'm using the
interface in "Audio: Capture Only" otherwise i get the error bellow
I've also run alsa-info script, the result can be found in:
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=03cc8c5c30232dfdbcd2b86ad8be4f609933d8c1
Can you point if i'm missing something?
Thank you so much for your time.

Hi,
I'm using Ubuntu 15.04 and was trying to run the script (
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-compile.sh) but it was telling me that i
don't have 'patch' package installed, but i have it.
I found that the problem is because is expected that
patch --version | head -1 | cut -d ' ' -f 1
would return 'patch'
But instead it return 'GNU', because here the name id "GNU patch"
So maybe you could change de script for:
patch --version | head -1 | cut -d ' ' -f 1-2 | grep patch -o
Hi list,
When I unplug my USB Audio interface while jackd is running on that very
card, jackd's CPU useage peaks and influences the whole operating system
(RT-kernel, jackd's priority is -11) becomes very unresponsive.
I know that I should not unplug it while jack is running, but sometimes
I forget that jack runs and this almost takes my computer down.
So I am wondering if there is any more elegant way of letting jack know
that a device has disappeared, or other solution to this.
Most looking forward to suggestions,
Peter
