I've just seen that linux is gettting quite advanced on the xbox...
It occurred to me that these boxes might make nifty little DAWs. They
look quite rugged and you could fit one in your bag. There isn't any
information on this site:
http://xbox-linux.sourceforge.net/
regarding audio drivers
heres some general xbox info i found:
http://www.vanshardware.com/articles/2001/november/011116_Xbox/011116_Xbox.…
no specifics on audio there either... anyone know any more?

[All IIRC] its hardware mixed (not that that matters for proaudio), and
it has some envronmental audio features. It may have hardware assist AC3
encoding too. The audio out is locked to 48k.
The biggest problem would be the HD, which has a very slow IDE interface.
IMHO, the PS2 is a better target. Sony support linux on it, it has decent
DSP chips, a faster HD and real USB and firewire ports. Plus its smaller.

SDL 1.2.5 has been released!
Here are some of the biggest changes:
* Added initial support for Dreamcast
SDL-DC also supports sound according to http://sdl-dc.sourceforge.net/
This in fact means, that you could develop SDL apps on Linux and run
it on your Dreamcast then. As the Dreamcast has a full blown Free
Software Developement kit available (http://cadcdev.sourceforge.net/)
and an open boot protocol (a bit hacked, but it works) and as the
Dreamcast is dirt cheap nowadays, I think, the DC is a viable platform
for doing console development.
ciao

The PS2 is capable of some pretty impressive float mangling.

New subject: [linux-audio-user] Acid Music for Linux
I have recently grown very fond of my Acid Music by Sonic Foundry on Windows
at work. I was wondering if they made it for Linux or how it imports via
wine? If neither question is affirmative is there a similliar Linux "acid"
loops type sound program?
