[LAD] FFADO Contact Needed

2009-07-29 Thread alex tinsley
Hi,

I have tried the contact form on the FFADO website and through the email
address provided in the contact pages at the SourceForge.net project page to
no avail. I'm not sure where else to ask except here. Are any of the FFADO
developers on this email group that can provide a contact email that will
garner a response?

Thanks,

Alex

This is actually entirely wrong.

For someone constantly (and rudely) insisting others should 'listen', 'stick
with the facts', 'read', 'learn' etc., it'd be nice if you returned the 
favour.

You cannot claim someone failed to distribute software under the GPL, and at
the same time take said software and excercise the rights that *would* have 
been granted to you *if* the software was distributed under the GPL.

 Hi,

 http://www.suse.de/~mana/ladspa.html

Which reminds me of using calf (or libprolooks) for the GUI. The most
visible difference between LADSPA and LV2 might be a decent graphical
interface, so the LV2 version of a plugin should have one. ;)

In order not to reinvent the wheel multiple times, calf or libprolooks
might save some time.

Re: [LAD] FFADO Contact Needed

2009-07-29 Thread alex tinsley
Hi,

The reason I'm asking for this info is that In my day job I work as the Test
Mgr for Avid Audio in the Compatibility Test Lab working on device testing
for the M-Audio product line. I'm one of the few in my group that use Linux
for more than web design in my own time and monitors this thread for my own
interests, I know which of our devices work on Linux which do not, and why.
There was a great 2 part article by Dave Smith on Linux Audio in Linux
Journal last year which I liked very much, I noted that he was requesting
better support from the audio vendors as a primary concern for the future of
linux audio.

As it turns out the product manager that works on the M-Audio product line
of audio I/O devices for existing support has asked me for assistance in
learning more about what is needed from the FFADO project to see if it is
something that Avid can support. I need to get him chatting with some one or
group of folks that can provide some info for him. So for the info provided
already, thank you very much.

The question that is being asked by a slew of folks and I'm carrying forth
to this group is what is needed in the FFADO driver to talk to a 1394 Audio
device so that the control panel for FFADO will route audio accordingly that
does not require Avid to reveal the source code for the current drivers or
firmware?

Many thanks in advance.

Alex

 This time it should be a laptop and I heard that formerly IBM and now

 with intel CPUs and cost an arm and a leg.

The Thinkpads seem to have a pretty active net community doing sites like
www.thinkwiki.org, which are very helpful. There's nothing bad about Intel
CPUs, actually I consider them the best choice ATM for laptops, especially if
you get a device with an Intel gfx chip inside, they have excellent FLOSS

equivalent laptops cheaper from manufacturers like Acer or MSI, which are the
two companies I have first hand experience with: I have an MSI S260 which
currently gets replaced by an Acer Timeline 3810T. Both are well supported by
Linux. The new one requires bleeding edge software, i.e. Debian unstable in my
case. On the ACER, no interrupts are shared when AHCI is enabled, but I guess,
that's normal for AHCI:

I didn't yet do any hardcore audio tests on that laptop, it's running an
upstream large latency kernel. With laptops, I think, it's important to know
your ways of using it. For example, the Acer is not the fastest device around
(it's just a single Core CPU), but it's very light (1.65kg) and has an amazing
battery life (up to 8h with dimmed display), so it's great to take on the road
which is where I will be using it the most and where I can deal with a slower
CPU, but not with a huge and heavy monster. The other extreme would be a
netbook, but I prefer the 13 screen of the Acer - my eyes don't cope well with
10 screens, and Atoms just don't cut it in the long run for audio work. So to
me, the Timeline is a good compromise, but your compromise will probably look
different.

  So, do you have any experience with those for audio work?
  I'd be most interested in the T and R series and more recent models.
  Also helpful would be some data that's impossible to find on
  websites:
  - What chipsets are built in?
  - do the usb buses and the like share interrupts with something
  nasty like graphics?
 
 I've been using my R51 for five years or so (and this message
 is sent from it), and it has never failed to do what I wanted.
 This one is from the IBM years, and it's certainly solid and
 dependable. The only thing that has degraded so far is the
 battery, down to more or less half its original capacity.
 I don't know if Lenovo is up to the same standards. Never
 used the modem, but all the rest has worked nicely. Also
 never used any 3D-graphics drivers.
 As for audio I've mainly used it with USB cards, either for
 recording or mixing, always with -n 3 -p 256 and that worked
 very well. I've used it to mix 24-track Ardour sessions.
 
 Of course chipsets etc. change faster than you can imagine
 and current machines from the same stable could and will be
 entirely different. But I can't say anything bad about this
 one.

 Ciao,

Thanks to you and everyone else who replied on and off list so far.
It seems like your R51 is equipped with TI chipsets while the newer
T61s have Ricoh. TI seem to be the best working ones and only some
ricoh seem to work, and I don't know which ones.

I found some IEEE 1394 specific information here:
http://ffado.org/?q=node/251
There's some valuable information on all of those things
here: http://www.lenovo.com/psref/
but sadly the chipset vendor/model isn't listed.

That it works well enough with usb is also helpful, thanks.

Is there someone with the most recent models like T400/T500, R400/R500?

Thanks,

Thanks Frank,
I had a look at thinkwiki but couldn't find what I'm looking for.
I also thought about netbooks but they won't cut it in the long run and
I'll need a laptop eventually anyway.
Could you post a lspci of your new acer as well? It's not quite what I'm
looking for but it might be helpful anyway.

Sure, see below. This is for the cheapest Timeline (Intel gfx, single core, no

They are kind of broken because they disrespect the ladspa naming

Ok, but I've already started porting Nick Lamb's NJL plugins because
they're straight forward. The vcf-0.0.5 can be next (unless I get

It's gonna be a slow (experiential) process though, in the past I've

No it is entirely right and you are showing that you do not even know
the most basic thing about the GPL. Everybody who has read the GPL
properly knows what I wrote is true.

 For someone constantly (and rudely) insisting others should 'listen',
 'stick with the facts', 'read', 'learn' etc., it'd be nice if you returned
 the favour.

Get of the high horse of moral superiority here. You are wrong, so this
statement is really ridiculous after the fact.


 You cannot claim someone failed to distribute software under the GPL, and
 at the same time take said software and excercise the rights that *would*
 have been granted to you *if* the software was distributed under the GPL.

I never claimed the person failed to distribute software under the GPL.
I always claimed that the GPL was being violated.

Here we have yet another person who is probably responding out of emotion than
logic. Go back and check every message I wrote. You will not find me having 
written what you said.

An apology for making false accusations would be fitting.

I always believed the software is under the GPL and that is why I pursued this
matter in the first place. To make sure everyone gets their guaranteed rights
in accord with the license the program is being distributed under.

You might want to read the multiple times I wrote something to that effect
also.

 This is not true.  It may simply make it code that was distributed in
 violation of the GPL.

You are wrong. Read the GPL. Everyone who really knows it understands
that your code comes under the GPL whenever you mix it with other GPL
code. That is the way it works.

The fact that it was distributed improperly, according to the license, 
makes it a violation of the license it is under. Otherwise there could be
no violation, right. Think it through. There cannot be a violation
unless the license is already in force.

No, that is not true.  The GPL requires this to happen, but it does
not cause it to happen.  What causes the resulting combined code to be
under the GPL is the fact that it is published under the GPL, not the
fact that it incorporates code that was published under the GPL.

There is nothing particular about the GPL here.  It's a license, not a
work of magic.  If I provide code to you under some terms and you
incorporate and re-publish the code flouting those terms, then you and
I have a legal problem -- but that's between you and me, it has no
bearing on the conditions under which your users received your
combined work.  An appropriate remedy for the problem might be for you
to ensure that you comply with my license (e.g. publish under the GPL)
or desist from publication, but your users can't enact that remedy for
themselves.

 Hi,

Hi!

 As it turns out the product manager that works on the M-Audio product line
 of audio I/O devices for existing support has asked me for assistance in
 learning more about what is needed from the FFADO project to see if it is
 something that Avid can support. I need to get him chatting with some one or
 group of folks that can provide some info for him. So for the info provided
 already, thank you very much.

I guess you've seen Jonathan's mail. I suggest you talk to him directly.

In the past, the project has asked for a test device, some kind of
device specification (read: papers) and a contact in case of questions.

There have also been NDAs, i.e. with TCAT, to support their widely used
DICE platform.


 The question that is being asked by a slew of folks and I'm carrying forth
 to this group is what is needed in the FFADO driver to talk to a 1394 Audio
 device so that the control panel for FFADO will route audio accordingly that

To my knowledge, this boils down to the on-wire ISO format plus all the
management stuff (like device initialization, how to address the mixer).

If provided, supporting it should be possible, but Jonathan will tell
you more precisely about this. ;)


If you like, switch to the ffado-devel mailinglist, however, writing to
Jonathan directly is probably the best to get things done.


I really appreciate your help, having M-Audio actively supporting Linux
is good news.

Just filter by topic. It should be pretty clear after only a few 
messages whether the continuation is of any value.

Incidentally, the filter setup in my mailer (Icedove, whatever that is) 
is done in the Create Filter From Message dialog under the Messages 
menu. It's nice, I can define the filter with various controls, then I 
can have the filtered messages sent to whatever destination I prefer. 
Sweet.

I presume other mail handlers work in similar fashion.

Yes, as a filter it might be problematic but I have ignore thread built in

 -bundle  .libs/ringmod_1188.o  -lm -march=i686 -nostartfiles

 clearly, i was talking out of my rear end about -nostartfiles

 Thanks, unfortunately I don't feel much wiser now.  The

  -bundle Produce a mach-o bundle that has file type MH_BUNDLE.

It's a looong time ago I figured out those options, but if I remember  
correctly it's required to let you build real .so files.

Because of the way the Mach kernel loads libraries, OSX libraries are  
not generally Mach-O bundles (.so-s), which are what you need to  
dynamically load objects. They're usually .dylib files - some other  
sort or Mach object.

Okay, a last not to the list, to avoid that somebody else tries to ad

Everybody can see by the header of the mail what mail client somebody is

For Thunderbird there's the Match all of the following option, so if 
somebody like to receive mails from Raymond and because of some subjects 
by everyone, but not from Raymond by explicit subjects, filtering seems 
not to be to difficult.

Am I wrong?

Should it become a sport to provoke Raymond?

Yes, it is easy to do. Anyone getting mail from the list can filter as they

You can try. It might work depending on the situation.

For now, I am actually doing some work on getting the Impro-Visor 4 
stuff on my project, amongst other things. Still finding GPL violations in the
Impro-Visor source as given on SF, so I have to fix things up so as not to
propagate those problems onto others.

Things are missing that should be there to actually make certain installation
packages.

 Hello list,

 I never get a valid event iterator with lv2_event_is_valid(). Can

 [...]
   LV2_Event_Buffer* inbuf = pLV2_Event_Buffer(*p(6));
 

 The template version of p() works just like the non-template version, it
 takes a uint32_t port index argument and returns a pointer to the buffer
 for that port. The only difference is that while the non-template
 version returns the buffer pointer as a pointer-to-float, the template
 version returns it as a pointer-to-T, where T is the template parameter.
 So in order to get the MIDI event input buffer for the port with index 6
 you do

   LV2_Event_Buffer* inbuf = pLV2_Event_Buffer(6);

 or, equivalently

   LV2_Event_Buffer* inbuf = reinterpret_castLV2_Event_Buffer*(p(6));

 What you are doing above is to first get the buffer as a
 pointer-to-float although the buffer really contains an
 LV2_Event_Buffer, then dereference it to get some garbage float value,
 then truncate that float value to an uint32_t and pass it as the index
 parameter to pLV2_Event_Buffer(). This will cause undefined behaviour.
 It could crash with a segmentation fault, it could give you garbage MIDI
 events or it could do nothing at all.
