So far I've only played with Jamin by feeding it
with Alsaplayer.
Today I tried for the first time to use it on real work.
I have 3 songs I've exported from ardour (0.99) in float 44.1kHz wav files.
These files seem to be OK - I can load them into Audacity,
play them with sox, etc. But my first thought - re-import the
mixes into a new Ardour session, put them in sequence, and hook it up to
Jack - failed with the problem I describe here:
http://ardour.org/mantis/view.php?id=1167
So, I thought, I'll just play them with alsaplayer -o jack. I have
alsaplayer version 0.99.76. But when I do, alsaplayer loads the files
without complaint (well, mostly; there's some messages like "short_mask
= 0x6" on stdout...) ... the UI indicates that it's playing, and it says
"sndfile supported format" -- but the output is silent! Could it be a
problem with routing or mixer controls? Nope, I can hear any other file
I load, but not these mixes. Weird.
Hey, I know, I'll use Audacity! .... except... it doesn't support jack?
Aargh. (version 1.2.1)
Audacity supports jack if you compile it in.
There's a bug if you stop play and they start it. There was a patch for
that posted here.. or maybe on Rosegarden list. Can't remember. But,
audacity works with jack.
