 So I checked those separately. And yes, some of them had their
 output phase inverted w.r.t. the others. Apparently the thing
 exists in two versions, but apart from measuring there's no
 way to tell which is which. So I'll have to recheck things
 each time any of them are replaced again. Thank $GOD we didn't
 use those for the WFS system.

This is appalling, but I'm aware it happens sometimes. I've
observed a similar thing with Chinese condenser microphones,
including some relatively expensive ones. Now I always check
polarity against a known good mic whenever I buy a new one.
Looks like I'll also have to start checking other gear.
Thanks for the warning.

[LAD] Updates

2013-07-02 Thread Fons Adriaensen 
Hello all,

Some maintenance updates are available on
 http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/downloads

* libclxclient 3.9.0:  bugfixes
* aeolus, aliki, jaaa, japa: all now use zita-alsa-pcmi instead
  of clalsadrv. 
* The aliki package now includes the manual.

That means that clalsadrv is now deprecated. It will remain available
for a few months and then disappear forever.

Note to AMS devs: zita-alsa-pcmi is a near drop-in replacement
for clalsadrv-2.0.0:

* Change the library name in the build files
* s/#includeclalsadrv/#includezita-alsa-pcmi/
* s/Alsa_driver/Alsa_pcmi/
* s/-stat()/-state()/

Ciao,
