Hello all,
I'm a major contributor and volunteer at Mandrake, and I've been working
to get Mandrake up-to-date and more complete with regard to audio
applications, so I thought this would be a good place to come for
advice. If you have a few minutes, please answer any of the following
questions you can. Doing so will help make Mandrake 9.1 the best audio
distribution on the planet...
1. If Mandrake 9.0 is your primary distribution for audio, what is your
#1 complaint?
yes. with 8.2 on a second machine.
Low-latency patch is not present.
2. If Mandrake 9.0 is not your primary distribution
for audio, why not?
What is missing or what has turned you away?
on the second machine: I have downloaded kernel 2.4.16 and applied the low-latency patch.
3. What audio applications are we missing (please check current list
provided below, as many new apps have been added since 9.0)?
OMG. mplayer is missing! realplay maybe is unauthorized elsewher from real.com. If not,
why not?
lame for mp3 encoding?
4. What thee audio applications do you consider the
most
valuable/important? (do not include alsa, jack, mixers, or ogg/mp3
players/encoders)
rosegarden
xmms
something to do multitrack recording
Thanks very much. I appreciate your time, and please
let me know
personally if there is anything else I can do to make Mandrake more
audio-friendly.
Austin
