Hi all,
Mandrake released Mandrake 10.2 Beta 2, and one of the new features is:
" New ALSA sound architecture with source mixing".
Does anyone know anything about this? Does this mean built-in dmix
configuration, or is it a different mixing method?
Announcement can be found here:

Regards,
Hillel.

Just guessing:
They discovered that its possible to use dmix (with a global configuration)
and that more and more apps support dmix in a stable way...
And so they said, hey, why don't we create a general configuration for dmix
and make it the default alsa device?
Or was it just that newer ALSA version use and install dmix per default???

There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

Probably both. I think it's hilarious that dmix has been around for
years and all of a sudden the distros discovered it and now it's the
latest and greatest new shiny feature. Maybe they knew about it and
didn't want to make it the default PCM until upstream ALSA made it the
default (for onboard el cheapo hardware anyway). I suspect they didn't
know it existed until recently.

Well It' more of just a crackle...
hmm detail straight planet system and I get a "crackle" in the out put..
(not the monitor/amp's tested them already)
any ideas?

I still hae a bit of noise in my out puts.. and ALOT of noise on my tracks ;)
is there a noise gate?
I trues to use the ladspa labelled "gate" and either could not figure it
out or it did not do what I exprected it to do...
thanks ;)

Noise gates will shut off ambient noise (i.e. bleed) effectively between
passages provided there is sufficient dynamic range between the noise and the
signal you want . Won't do anything for noisy output.
Gates/compressors/limiters/expanders are all functionally equivalent to
automated fader riding

For some reason the SWH gate (from gate_1410.so) has strange default
settings in Ardour. You may have ran into the same problem I had.
The gate has controls for the LF key filter and HF key filter. LF key
filter means "filter out frequencies below the value", HF means "filter
out frequencies above the value". Both filters only affect the "key"
signal which is the signal that controls the gate. They do not affect
the signal passing through the gate when the gate is open.
In jack-rack the default values are:
LF key filter (Hz): 33.599998
HF key filter (Hz): 23520.000
But in ardour, the default values are:
LF key filter (Hz): 0.001
HF key filter (Hz): 0.490
Which means that the bandwidth for the key signal is VERY narrow. The
key signal is practically zero.
I actually first thought that the gate didn't work, because I thought
"LF key filter" meant a lowpass filter and HF a highpass.
I hope this clears things up for you.

Wow Even the composer of this email (me) finds it quite cryptic...
An explanation follows below.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
(I confess, lack of sleep led to that email)
Here's the Explanation in english..
After installing my m-audio delta 44 I get a static sound when playing or
NOT playing adio...
Is this perhaps an irq issue?
My system is a planet ccrma fc3 box with dual pIII 800's
I do have a nic card in it as well as a nvidoa geforce.
Onboard audio has been disabled in the BIOS.
Any Help would be appreciated Much ;)

When asked the definition of "pi":
The Mathematician:
Pi is the number expressing the relationship between the
circumference of a circle and its diameter.
The Physicist:
Pi is 3.1415927, plus or minus 0.000000005.
The Engineer:
Pi is about 3.
