For your new-timey listening pleasure, the soundtrack to a video made recently with the latest AVSynthesis program: http://linux-sound.org/audio/avs-cs5-test4.ogg http://linux-sound.org/audio/avs-cs5-test4.mp3 All sounds courtesy Jean-Pierre Lemoine's Csound5 instruments in his AVSynthesis program.

Csound must be compiled for double-precision and with the Java wrapper (csnd.jar and lib_jcsound.so). All DLLs must be replaced by their .so equivalents. You can get the necessary components in pre-compiled packages for 32-bit systems, but you'll need to compile most of it yourself if you want to use it under a 64-bit system. It can be tedious. Obviously you'll need a good video card with 3D acceleration. I use an nVidia 7600GS w. 512 MB VRAM, seems to work nicely. The Linux Journal will eventually publish a rather long article I wrote about AVS. More detail is included there, but the information above is the brief instruction. :) Stability is a problem, but it may be due to bugs in Cs5, not in AVS. Jean-Pierre reports that his Windows version is quite stable, but he's using a slightly customized version of Csound. Feel free to write to me off-list if you'd like more information (unless other people here want to follow the thread).

Hi folks... I still running PCLinuxOS and using Thacś RPMś. Without version numbers of lots of libs, the version numbers in the subject line are relevant to my system. Hopefully thatś enough. I set up a new box from the live CD and added all the audio stuff from apt. Everything worked fine...I updated to Qjackctl 3.2 from and older version even and still no problems. I then did a jumbo update out of Synaptic... When I run Qjackctl or Qsynth in KDE, the CPU usage shoots to the moon. This has happened on another install of the same distro in the the very same sequence and manner. I dont think itś Qjackctl that is the issue..otherwise it would have done it when i first upgraded to 3.2 using QT4. Even though Qsynth shows the same symptoms, pointing toward a possible QT4 issue, that makes no sense either...again, it would have done it before. I suspect something in KDE is doing it. I tried running from Fluxbox, and same thing...but doesn Fluxbox use some KDS libs anyway? I guess I can install Gnome and try that but really dont want the clutter on the machine. Anyone know anything about this? I saw another post on Linuxquestions.org about the same thing on another distro... TIA for any help.

Hi Rui, thanks for the reply. Ok...just to add, I rebuilt from the SRPM (same spec file though) and no change. I also installed Gnome and it does it from there as well, just to further support your point. I will email thac and see if we can figure it out. thanks, R subject line are relevant to my system. Hopefully thatś enough. from apt. Everything worked fine...I updated to Qjackctl 3.2 from and older version even and still no problems. I then did a jumbo update out of Synaptic... moon.

I saw another post on Linuxquestions.org about the same thing on another distro... reported that on debian etch and ubuntu, qjackctl 0.3.x was peaking to 100%cpu usage (not %dsp load) and right after jackd is started. specifically to the QProcess class wich deals to process interface coordination and to the extent of my knowledge a mere qt4 upgrade, from the testing (or lenny) repositories, sufficed for the issue go away. built but not sure (i never had the issue duplicated myself) _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user(a)lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
