Re: LinuxSampler?
Daniel James escribe: The LinuxSampler developers were concerned that a hardware company would take their GPL'd code and put it into a proprietary product, disrespecting the licence. (A very valid concern, in my view). They therefore floated the idea that a future version of the software would have a GPL exception, which asked that commercial distributors contact the original developers for permission before shipping the code. A valid concern, probably, but one anybody developing GPL code could have! Some people over-reacted (in my opinion) to this proposed change, and said that they would no longer distribute or contribute to the LinuxSampler code. Some people were under the impression that LinuxSampler was no longer GPL'd, or had become proprietary - but I see no evidence for that. I would see no problem on that. Even although new code was not GPL, existing code would have to continue being GPL. So it would take not much time for a fork to take place. In the meantime, at least one LinuxSampler developer has been working on the code, on behalf of the Italian company Lionstracs, which makes GNU/Linux-based keyboard instruments. (We also did some work at 64 Studio for this company). We ship LinuxSampler 0.3.3 and the qsampler GUI front-end 0.1.3 in 64 Studio, which are both under GPL. Talking about 64 Studio: I think I subscribed to the mailing list and I reported there a problem while installing it. Since then I've seen no activity in the mailing list. Zero messages. Is it like this or simply I have subscribed incorrectly? I moderate a spanish forum on Linux audio and people there love 64 Studio, even although there's Musix and their developers talk spanish! So I find a bit sad 64 Studio community is not more active. I see no reason at all why version 0.4.0 should not be in Debian non-free. I don't see it either.

Re: LinuxSampler?
Daniel James escribe: That's true, but in this case the risk is higher than usual. Firstly because music hardware companies have poor awareness of the GPL, compared to say... network hardware companies (and some of them are bad enough). Secondly, because LinuxSampler can run as a headless node, so it would be very easy to hide the code in a 'black box' appliance. I remember about Kiss media players who had mplayer code inside and were easily discovered... Musix is a good distro, but it's aimed at a different use case. We should have a Spanish language forum on our new website, even though my own Spanish isn't much better than ¡hola, amigo! :-) I'd be glad to moderate that forum if it existed, or a mailing list for users who talk spanish, if I were able to subscribe to 64 Studio mailing lists! I once had a french colleague whose spanish was limited to doh cervezah! which means two beers! with a deep accent from Andalucia. :) Cordially, Ismael -- Ismael Valladolid Torres m. +34679156321 La media hostia j.

Re: Jackd hell and other oddities
Daniel James escribe: The point I like to make to them is that the true innovators in electronic music didn't follow what everyone else did, they created their own tools. Still, it does explain why there's so much derivative dance music around. I remember when Rebirth first came out, it was like 'instant acid house, in a can'. Right, like John Cage's piece for a detuned piano or Ligeti's one for a hundred metronomes. Then people ask Linux to ship with a hundred metronomes an apt-get away...

Re: Jackd hell and other oddities
Eric Dantan Rzewnicki escribe: /etc/security/limits.conf needs to be set up as well. It's a simple step, but I guess it would be good if users didn't have to ask about it. A multimedia dedicated distro should ship /etc/security/limits.conf configured for realtime but not a generic distro. Letting all process from a user in the group audio getting realtime could pose a security problem in a server setup. Cordially, Ismael -- Ismael Valladolid Torres m. +34679156321 La media hostia j.

Re: Jackd hell and other oddities
Daniel James escribe: I believe Musix now uses the 64 Studio kernel packages, so that's one less variable ;-) Ubuntu Studio is not going for a Molnar-style RT kernel, according to an interview with Cory Kontros I read. That's not the case. Musix kernels are packaged by Tapani Raikkonen which by the way is doing a great job, Musix is delivered with the most recent kernels suitable to be patched for realtime work. I believe it's because in the mainstream, audio on GNU/Linux has mostly been addressed from the point of view of a so-called 'consumer'. So distros have tried to solve questions like How do I make my iPod work out of the box, so I can re-arrange my collection of Britney Spears downloads? rather than How do I tune my kernel and OS for maximum performance when tracking 24 channels over my ADAT interface? I agree with that. A system suitable for those who enjoy multimedia just for fun is very different than a system for those who use a system for multimedia creation. Indeed almost nobody really needs jackd to be installed unless she pretends to use ardour, zynaddsubfx or similar soft. So I think it's ok that Debian doesn't focus on multimedia creation given there are more suitable distros adapted from the Debian main one.

Re: Jackd hell and other oddities
Marco Ghirlanda escribe: 1) a default Linux installation is less snappy (responsive) than a fresh Windows install (in example using the same software like Audacity) As far as both default installations have no software and in Debian all software is just an apt-get away, I admit I don't understand your point. 1) Include in Debian a Multimedia/Desktop Kernel I agree it should also be available an apt-get away nevertheless. 2) Make Jackd usable out of the box or after the installation of a normal package I find it usable out of the box...
