Public Apology to Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, Singapore
I was misconstrued as having insulted Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew. My words were twisted and misinterpreted and I feel that there is a need to explain myself and set the record straight. [b]What really happened[/b] It was sometime in Aug/Sep in the year 2009. The setting was in the Tampines Central office of Asiasoft Online Pte Ltd. I was having a ***verbal*** conversation with Melvin Lee, my new I.T. department manager, when he challenged me to complete an I.T. assignment within a specified period of time. In response to his challenge, I replied in Mandarin: "If I cannot complete the I.T. assignment within a specified period of time, then Lee Kuan Yew is wang ba dan". I used to be fond of using other people's names to "bet" with people but now no more. The Minister Mentor's name came into my mind spontaneously and I used it to "bet" with my I.T. department manager. [b]Explanations[/b] 1. It was not my intention to insult the Minister Mentor at that time. Please note the use of the IF... THEN... statement in my verbal conversation. 2. I did not know wang ba dan [hanyu pinyin] means bastard at all until I consulted Goh Meng Seng much later. I would like to apologize to the Minister Mentor and the Prime Minister of Singapore if I have offended them in any way. I swear it was not my intention to insult the Minister Mentor. Please forgive me for using your name carelessly to "bet" with my former I.T. department manager.

Re: More Problems [was: Re: Focusrite Saffire LE]
You might want to check the physical connections (firewire cables / adapters, etc). I've had my Saffire LE plays mp3 for about an hour non-stop ( on 48 KHz), without any problem :) I'm using studio hardy 32 bit on Asus A8E notebook (which has Ricoh firewire). The only problem I found is sometimes JACK failed to start, but when I rearrange the cable position, it works again... so I suspect that it's a problem with my cable. My notebook only have a 4-pin firewire, so I can't use the 6-to-6 pin firewire cable supplied with Saffire LE. So I got myself a 6-to-4 pin firewire cable. It's this cable that I suspect to have a low quality. Two weird things I noticed about Saffire LE and JACK: 1. It just won't work on 44.1KHz, mine only works at 48 and 96 KHz. 2. I need to set the number of max I/O channel both to 64. QJackCtl's max value of 32 just don't work, so I have to modify QJackCtl's config file. Hope it helps :) === > From: Chris Wenn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: More Problems [was: Re: Focusrite Saffire LE] > To: Ubuntu Studio Users Help and Discussion > > Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Content-Type: text/plain > > OK > > I now have a firewire ExpressCard - the cheapest I could get, because > they're VERY expensive here! lspci shows: > > 0e:00.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB82AA2 IEEE-1394b Link > Layer Controller (rev 01) (prog-if 10 [OHCI]) >Subsystem: Unknown device 0ee4:3884 >Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 18 >Memory at ecc04000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K] >Memory at ecc0 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] >Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2 > > So NOT Ricoh! > > I have to disable the onboard 1394 to get gscanbus and freeBoB to > recognise the device, which is fine and no big deal, plus there was some > fiddling to get ExpressCard support (add 'pciehp pciehp_force=1' > to /etc/modules) > > Now, when I start jackd (jackd -R -vv -d freebob) i get > > JACK compiled with System V SHM support. > server `default' registered > registered builtin port type 32 bit float mono audio > registered builtin port type 8 bit raw midi > clock source = system clock via clock_gettime > loading driver .. > new client: freebob_pcm, id = 1 type 1 @ 0x806ff40 fd = -1 > Freebob using Firewire port 0, node -1 > new buffer size 1024 > LibFreeBoB MSG: FreeBoB Streaming Device Init > LibFreeBoB MSG: Using FreeBoB lib version libfreebob 1.0.7 > LibFreeBoB MSG: Device information: > LibFreeBoB MSG: Device options: > LibFreeBoB MSG: Port : 0 > LibFreeBoB MSG: Device Node Id : -1 > LibFreeBoB MSG: Samplerate : 48000 > LibFreeBoB MSG: Period Size : 1024 > LibFreeBoB MSG: Nb Buffers : 3 > LibFreeBoB MSG: Directions : 0 > showDevice: not implemented > FreeBoB MSG: Register MIDI IN port dev1c_Midi In > FreeBoB MSG: Register MIDI OUT port dev1p_Midi Out > FreeBoB MSG: Streaming thread running with Realtime scheduling, priority > 14 > FreeBoB MSG: Registering audio capture port C0_dev1c_Rec 1 > FreeBoB MSG: Registering audio capture port C1_dev1c_Rec 2 > FreeBoB MSG: Registering audio capture port C2_dev1c_Rec 3 > FreeBoB MSG: Registering audio capture port C3_dev1c_Rec 4 > FreeBoB MSG: Registering audio capture port C4_dev1c_Rec 5 > FreeBoB MSG: Registering audio capture port C5_dev1c_Rec 6 > FreeBoB MSG: Don't register capture port for dev1c_Midi In > FreeBoB MSG: Registering playback audio port P0_dev1p_Play 1 > FreeBoB MSG: Registering playback audio port P1_dev1p_Play 2 > FreeBoB MSG: Registering playback audio port P2_dev1p_Play 3 > FreeBoB MSG: Registering playback audio port P3_dev1p_Play 4 > FreeBoB MSG: Registering playback audio port P4_dev1p_Play 5 > FreeBoB MSG: Registering playback audio port P5_dev1p_Play 6 > FreeBoB MSG: Registering playback audio port P6_dev1p_Play 7 > FreeBoB MSG: Registering playback audio port P7_dev1p_Play 8 > FreeBoB MSG: Don't register playback port dev1p_Midi Out > registered port system:capture_1, offset = 4096 > registered port system:capture_2, offset = 8192 > registered port system:capture_3, offset = 12288 > registered port system:capture_4, offset = 16384 > registered port system:capture_5, offset = 20480 > registered port system:capture_6, offset = 24576 > registered port system:playback_1, offset = 0 > registered port system:playback_2, offset = 0 > registered port system:playback_3, offset = 0 > registered port system:playback_4, offset = 0 > registered port system:playback_5, offset = 0 > registered port system:playback_6, offset = 0 > registered port system:playback_7, offset = 0 > registered port system:playback_8, offset = 0 > ++ jack_rechain_graph(): > client freebob_pcm: internal client, execution_order=0. > -- jack_rechain_graph() > FreeBoB MSG: MIDI threads running with Realtime scheduling, priority 13 > FreeBoB MSG: MIDI queue thread sta
Re: Multichannel soundcard with preamps...
How much is your budget actually (in US$ unit please :p)?

Studio-to-Go
http://www.studio-to-go.com/ Have the ubuntu-studio developers had a look at that one? :) It's bootable (live CD), and it seemed that its full-version is going to be available for free :D I tried it yesterday, and it recognized my Saffire LE like magic :p I didn't even need to edit any configuration files, kernel modules, JACK parameters, bla..bla..bla... It just worked... I can see my Saffire's multiple I/O in JACK connections window, as well as its MIDI I/O... I hope this will inspire ubuntu-studio developers ;) Regards, Ming -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
Re: Creative & EMU
Thanks... that shed some light... ;) One more thing, here's an excerpt from ALSA website: http://alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-Creative_Labs "Creative actively preventing support due to no datasheets being released to ALSA developers." and here's another one on the same page: "Emu have supplied hardware sample and datasheets to the developer." It seemed to me that Creative & EMU have different attitude toward Open Source (Linux & ALSA in particular), and since EMU is a subsidiary of Creative, isn't it contradictive? :( On 4/1/08, Farrell McGovern <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Mon, Mar 31, 2008 at 2:30 AM, Ming <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm a bit confused about those two brand names, are they related in > > any way?

Re: Two Questions?
I think it's very appropriate... ;) I'm also wondering about that and why doesn't ubuntu studio have a graphical installer & bootloader (as in JAD - Jack Audio Distribution)?

Creative & EMU
I'm a bit confused about those two brand names, are they related in any way? I've seen EMU products in creative-lab's website & in EMU's site, I've seen photos of their soundcard have a "creative lab" printed on it. There was someone in this list that said that creative soundcards have a bad latency, does that applies to EMU cards too? I'm looking to get myself an EMU 0404 USB, any comment on that card?
