[LAD] [ANN] Alsaplayer 0.99.79 and fftscope 1.0.4 released

2007-05-28 Thread Dominique Michel

Alsaplayer 0.99.79 
-- 
AlsaPlayer is a new type of PCM player. It is heavily multi-threaded and tries
to excercise the ALSA library and driver quite a bit. It has some very
interesting features unique to Linux/Unix players. 
This is a feature enhancement and minor bugfix release. 
 
New features: 
Basic keyboard navigation and loop inside a selection have been added.  
 
Bugfix: 
A missing include was added; this make at Alsaplayer will compile on never gcc
and non gcc compilers.

ChangeLog from the last release:

* Updated config.guess and config.sub with latest savannah version.
* Added missing include in app/CorePlayer so it will compile with never gcc
  and non gcc compilers. Thanks to Debian for this fix.
* Applied Debian patch from Viktor Radnai and Paul Brossier. Add basic
  keyboard navigation (skip, pause, etc.), loop mode (looping inside a
  selection), pressing play button or key during playback return to the
  beginning of the song, speed changes one musical semitone a time using
  the keyboard (handy for changing the key the song is played back in).
* Added keyboard shortcuts for speed +/- 1 comma (useful to tune the player
  when playing some musical instrument at the same time).
* Updated the man page with those keyboard bindings.


fftscope 1.0.4 
-- 
Fftscope is a nice fft scope plugin for Alsaplayer. 
 
This release is a major bugfix release and each user is encouraged to upgrade. 
 
Alsaplayer was crashing at exit time when this scope was installed but not
running. A missing test in the quit function was added. 
The compilation flags in Makefile.am was fixed. 
 
Enjoy those 2 new releases!

[LAD] ANN: RTMix 0.76 (a.k.a. rtmix lives on)

2007-05-28 Thread Ivica Ico Bukvic
Well, it's been over 2 (3?) years since last release, but rtmix refuses to
die ;-). Thanks solely to Robin Gareus and his heroic work in making rtmix
gcc4 compliant, I am releasing rtmix version 0.76. Apart from compile error
fixes (courtesy of Robin), there have been a few cosmetic tweaks, but most
notably, the source is now released under a 100% GPL-compliant license. That
being said, the code is still a dirty hack, the internal event cue
occasionally still misbehaves (albeit only in very complex situations), and
unfortunately native alsa seq is still MIA (uses old unix dev access). OTOH,
the thing does work as advertised, has been used, and continues to be used
in my works without a hitch. Apart from oss midi, rtmix supports networking,
OSC, and other goodness making it rather practical for on-screen
coordination as well as interaction between performer(s) and computer.

For more info on what really rtmix is please consult the HTML documentation
included with the tarball (or see online documentation info below). The
tarball (5MB) comes with source, documentation (some statements in it are
likely a bit outdated, so please take those parts with a grain of salt),
tutorials, and precompiled binary on Ubuntu 6.10 (i686, qt3, gcc), so if you
have these a simple make install should do it (installs in
/usr/local/rtmix and binary in /usr/local/bin). For a simon tutorial with
sounds you will also need sounds zipfile (11MB-ish) which are downloadable
from the same folder (just browse the folder).

To download latest RTMix click here:

Online documentation:

http://ico.bukvic.net/Linux/RTMix/RTMix-docs/

Complaints to: /dev/null

Future roadmap:
Rtmix in its current state is a project in a need of a total rewrite. This
is primarily due to the fact that despite the fact rtmix appears to do the
job in 99.9% of instances, the code is an ugly hack which makes its
maintenance and perhaps more importantly expandability exponentially
difficult. That being said, I am looking forward to one of the upcoming
summers when I will dig into the code once again and rebuild the darn thing
from the ground up the way it was meant to be all along. Until then, this
version should prove an adequate substitute.

Enjoy!

Re: [LAD] Yamaha XS - mlan included

 I over looked that.
 It is a kernel module.  That is nice of them to include.  A lot of
 makers of kernel modules (AJA) don't feel compelled to release the
 source to the general public.

/me is waiting for ppalmers to include this in ffado! Imagine plugin your 
linux-laptop directly into any Yamaha/mlan-product. :-)
