Here's the OLPC Wiki link: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Tamtam and the repo: http://dev.laptop.org/git.do?p=projects/tamtam;a=tree Along the same lines, while not Linux only and not only for audio but entire multimedia, you should definitely look into eToys. eToys runs in squeak, a Smalltalk-80 environment. eToys and other educational apps have been running in squeak and used in schools for many years around the world. Here are some links: Squeakland: http://www.squeakland.org/ - click on "What is Squeak" for a good overview eToys on the OLPC laptop: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Etoys Articles on eToys and education: http://www.squeakland.org/school/HTML/essays/essays.html Some info for teachers: http://dev.laptop.org/git.do?p=projects/tamtam;a=tree Very good site for French speakers (or have google translate): http://community.ofset.org/wiki/Squeak_Education http://community.ofset.org/wiki/Category:Squeak_Education specifically: http://community.ofset.org/wiki/Sons_et_Image_-_un_%C3%A9change_France-Arge… Squeak main site: http://www.squeak.org/ If you would like more information, please don't hesitate to ask. Squeak is a rich environment and I think many here would find it engaging and fun. BTW, the latest Linux VM has an ALSA plugin. -- brad fuller http://www.Sonaural.com/ +1 (408) 799-6124
