[LAD] mp3-player needs sendmail - really?
Anybody got any idea why the realplayer insist on installing sendmail as well? Is it a rootkit, intending to turn me into a spam-node? /j ___ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev

May I ask which distribution is that? gstreamer can work OK, but it's easy to screw up with the plugins being separated in lots of sub-packages.. Personally I stick mostly with [g]mplayer and ff[mpeg|play]. Indeed, creepy. It is the same with GoogleEarth (which will also install 'ed' as an automation convenience for spammers?) What's wrong with 'ed'? You won't find a more advanced editor in just 37k linked only against libc. It's as essential as 'sed' or 'grep' (and to certain extend 'awk' and 'perl') to any un*x system. It's just a text-editor anyway, not a system-service - like sendmail. Half of the services on linuxaudio.org would not be what they are without 'ed'. love it. OT: I wonder what will ship with the German Ausweis App (RFID identity card application) for Linux ;). see for yourself: `apt-cache show rfdump` - works fine to read those.

Earlier, Ed was needed in a Linux system (if I recall right), but today it may be needed by some programs to patch files - again if I recall it right. Ed can be used interactive and by scripts in order to alter text files, but personally, I have never used it directly for anything.

[LAD] NASPRO 0.2.91 released
Hi all, I'm glad to announce the release of NASPRO 0.2.91. NASPRO (http://naspro.atheme.org/) is meant to be a cross-platform sound processing software architecture built around the LV2 plugin standard (http://lv2plug.in/). The goal of the project is to develop a series of tools to make it easy and convenient to use LV2 for sound processing on any (relevant) platform and for everybody: end users, host developers, plugin developers, distributors and scientists/researchers. This is mostly a bugfix release with a not officialy supported port to Win32/64 and bunch of LV2 data-only bundles containing handcrafted the equivalent of all LRDF data I could find. It includes: NASPRO core: the portable runtime library at the bottom of the architecture; NASPRO Bridge it: a little helper library to develop insert-your-API-here to LV2 bridges; NASPRO bridges: a collection of bridges to LV2 which, once installed, allow you to use plugins developed for other plugin standards in LV2 hosts. In particular, the NASPRO bridges collection includes two bridges: a LADSPA (http://www.ladspa.org/) 1.1 and a DSSI (http://dssi.sourceforge.net/) 1.0.0/1.1.0 bridge. All of the code is released under the LGPL 2.1 license. Due to a couple of issues with Lilv (http://drobilla.net/software/lilv/) 0.4.2 and zynjacku (http://home.gna.org/zynjacku/) 6, the installation of such bundles has to be explictly requested at ./configure time. Furthermore, patches to fix a tiny bug preventing Lilv 0.4.2 from properly working with dynamic manifests and to try to fix (i.e., perhaps more a hack than a fix) cross-referencing among bundles w.r.t. dynamic manifests in zynjacku 6 are avialable in the Downloads page. More information is available on the project's website. Enjoy! ___ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
