fixed rate audio
Hi, the motherboard in the PC I've just build and installed Debian on has a built in VIA 82Cxx audio processor. These seem to operate at a fixed sample rate of 48k/s and the rate cannot be changed at the driver level. So I need somehow to plug or hook all invocations of sox to include the -r RATE option before the name of the output device (if the output is in fact a device and not another file). This would have to be automated because sox is invoked behind my back all the time by commands like saydate, saytime or my window manager. But sox' option syntax makes this hard :-( Anyone here who has dealt with the issue successfully? Thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Latin-1 characters in X, how?
My apologies for the newbieness of this post; when it comes to the world of icons, colors and pixels, I am indeed a newbie, having spent the last 4 years or so in text mode. On the Linux virtual consoles I can enter Latin-1 characters into any program using the Compose key sequences, provided these are defined in the loaded keymap. For example, here's a piece of my /etc/console-tools/default.kmap: keycode 52 =period greater Meta_period Meta_greater \ Compose compose '`' 'A' to 'À' compose '`' 'a' to 'à' compose '\'' 'A' to 'Á' compose '\'' 'a' to 'á' compose '^' 'A' to 'Â' compose '^' 'a' to 'â' compose '~' 'A' to 'Ã' compose '~' 'a' to 'ã' compose '' 'A' to 'Ä' compose '' 'a' to 'ä' compose 'O' 'A' to 'Å' compose 'o' 'a' to 'å' compose '0' 'A' to 'Å' compose '0' 'a' to 'å' compose 'A' 'A' to 'Å' compose 'a' 'a' to 'å' compose 'A' 'E' to 'Æ' compose 'a' 'e' to 'æ' The question is, how can I do the same with X clients? I know about xmodmap and I have read its manpage, but it doesn't help me because it only talks about mapping single keycodes to keysyms. Is the interpretation of compose sequences something that's left to the client under X? If so, how do I enable this in rxvt (or in xterm, if needs be)? I use potato, and everything in the environment is set up for US English, and I want to leave it this way. -- Ian Zimmerman, Oakland, California, U.S.A.

The install was great and it Jaye runs fine on my KDE. I tried Mozilla too. However, I was unable to use it to view man2html pages. There seems to be a bug in Mozilla with interpretation of URLs with no hostnames, for example http:/cgi-bin/man2html if this URL is given as a link on a page served by localhost, it should be interpreted as http://localhost/cgi-bin/man2html but instead, Mozilla throws me into some horrible intensive advertising site like www.cgi-bin.com, which seems to have been created especially to trap the victims of this bug :-( -- Ian Zimmerman, Oakland, California, U.S.A.

Re: Potato networking
Ethan == Ethan Benson [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Ethan you still can do it the old way, just comment out everything in Ethan /etc/networking/interfaces (or maybe just delete it) and add Ethan you own /etc/init.d/network script using update-rc.d to add the Ethan links. It seems you can just edit /etc/network/interfaces (format documented in TFM) to use static for the relevant stanzas; this feels like a more potatoesque way of doing it. -- Ian Zimmerman, Oakland, California, U.S.A.

Please point me to T relevant FM, Istvan so I can R it. In most cases (all that I care and know about), this is controlled by alias settings in modules.conf(5).

Re: gnus froze emacs20
Istvan == Kovacs Istvan [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Istvan Hello! I tried gnus, recommended by several people (thanks to Istvan all who responded!), and it froze my emacs20. Here's what I Istvan wrote to John Hasler, one of the people trying to help: --- I Istvan installed gnus (gnus_5.8.3-9.deb) on top of Emacs20. I Istvan launched emacs, started the tutorial, it seemed to be working. I am a longtime Gnus user and I am _sure_ you don't need the separate Gnus package. Gnus is part of Emacs20. I think the Gnus package is just for use with Emacs19. You may have shot yourself in the foot by installing too much stuff :-) -- Ian Zimmerman, Oakland, California, U.S.A.

update-alternatives again: a homemade hack
After convincing myself by a browse of the perl code that none of the
existing options to update-alternatives will make it do what I want, I
wrote the following. Whoever is responsible for update-alternatives
in Debian, please consider merging this into the official version.
