[LAD] linuxaudio mailing lists and gmail issues (bounces)

2014-09-01 Thread Marc-Olivier Barre

Hi everyone,

Some of you might have noticed, we're having issues delivering mailing lists 
posts to gmail users (it can be fairly random). I'm also having similar 
issues at work and on my own server. It seems gmail has tightened their 
filtering rules a bit and generate quite the amount of backscatter emails 
which generally results in mailman accounts being disabled.


TL;DR
mailman issues, gmail sucks, I'm working on a fix :)

Cheers !

Hello dear LADs,

Well, I don't speak much on the lists nowadays, but I will just say this:

If people get offended by any kind of mail of the nature we just experienced 
please write to the moderation email right away (mail address can be found on 
the list website). I don't do a lot for the mailing lists these days, but I 
can be fast reacting on those.


Moreover, it allows me to go read the list for a bit of entertainment, and 
damn, this one was good. although I am still wondering if the guy is for 
real... I thought those were extinct or had no internet :)


PS: as you might have seen, Robin was faster than I and turned on the guys 
moderation bit. I would have gone for a pure ban, but hey ! Robin is a nicer 
guy than I am I guess :D

 Dear fellow LA* members,
 
 As some of you may be aware, instead of a static news page,
Linuxaudio.org
 now has a direct LAA feed as its front page. Consequently, I would like
to
 encourage everyone to please put special care in crafting your LAA
posts,
 meaning much more so than those destined for lau/lad lists, as this is
in
 part what everyone sees when they visit Linuxaudio.org (and if our
awstats
 are any indication 

http://stats.linuxaudio.org/cgi-bin/awstats.pl?config=www.linuxaudio.org,
 then we do get tons of exposure there that is perhaps more importantly
 steadily growing). I say this not because there have been some grave
 offenses recently but rather because I think as a community it would
really
 nice if we collectively put extra attention to this facet that is much
 considerably public than a typical lau/lad post. So, I guess what I am
 trying to say is perhaps having a post on lau/lad lists mirrored on laa
may
 not be always a good idea.
 
 If I had to single-out one post in there that could use some TLC :-) it
 would be the call for submissions for the upcoming LAC. Namely,
suggesting
 that there has been little interest may end-up looking like a
 self-fulfilling prophecy--new and incoming potential contributors to LAC
 who may have come across this post could be easily discouraged by the
way
 this reads despite the fact we all know that most conference submissions
 are usually uploaded in the last 72 hours before the submission
deadline.
 
 At any rate, don't mean to be preaching, so I hope no one will get
 offended. And if you do, I guess I owe you a pint (hear that Frank? ;-)
 
 Just my 5-cents worth...

Hello all,

Just a quick word from me to add that not only linuxaudio.org monitor this
list closely, loads of linux/FLOSS related websites do too, some of them
totally unrelated to audio. But then again, each person who posts an
announce here is responsible for what kind of publicity he/she provides for
his/her software...

Although, one has to admit that most posts are well written and have a
professional look that I like a lot.

+1 cent...

 Here's a story that may give you all a good chuckle:
 
 Last weekend Robin Gareus, our LAO guru has contacted me inquiring why
 there
 was a ~1hr linuxaudio.org server downtime that took place that Sat.
 morning.
 Luckily we now have an UPS that gives us almost 2 hours of offline power.
 Hence, the server went through this unscathed. Yet, the network
 infrastructure was also down so even though the server remained up, there
 was no way of reaching it.
 
 So, I went investigating what happened, and this is the reply I got from
 our
 on-campus support:
 
 Squirrel fried in transformer.  Campus and part of downtown was out of
 power
 on Saturday morning before the game. [this was a football game we had in
 town that day with 10K+ visitors]
 
 :-)

My bad, I enabled the fry-squirrel option in postfix's main.cf...

My deepest apologies to the families that wanted to watch the football
game.

some bad bugs were uncovered right after the announcement... those are
fixed in pyjackctl SVN. You'll also need a development snapshot of the
jack patches (log patch has been applied to jack svn and is no longer

Also, I'm in the process of rebuilding the jackconf script (the

the jack patches.
A new release will be made available as soon as this config dialog is ready.

  If you want 'real' session management, you also want to save the

 This was addressed elsewhere.  The issue is the dynamicity of JACK.
 Rewriting LASH to use D-Bus because you don't want to fix JACK is
 lunacy.
That's precisely *NOT* the reason why me, and probably quite a few
others want to use you_name_it protocol to control jack.

From Fons :
  That being said, I still do favor D-Bus over OSC.
 It's local only, no network support.
Right. Then again, all we need is a better control framework in
libjack and let people develop with whatever protocol they like, be it
OSC, D-Bus, a direct use of the API or smoke signals. I don't
understand why this disagreement goes on while a simple solution on
which everyone could agree has already been brought up.

 I agree ! It is time now to have some OGG players inside our phones !

I would be interested in hearing why having a OGG player (or anything
else) on a phone would need java. Most linux (non-java) applications
run out of the box on a GTA01 for instance. Gui might need a bit of
work/resizing, but that's about all.

There's an on going discussion on the Openmoko lists about adding
java/mono to the platform. Another ongoing thread is about the severe
limitation of the GTA01 concerning power management. Sounds a lot like
a paradox to me.

If the choice of java is motivated only by programming comfort, one
should probably do that on a device that has a power cord.

[LAD] [REMINDER] A bit of common sense.

2008-01-30 Thread Marc-Olivier Barre
Hi,

May I remind all of you of a few facts :

- We have currently 736 members on this list. Those of you math lovers
will have guessed that sending an email to this list implies having
(736 - number who have disabled mail delivery ~= 700) receipients.
- When one of you sends bull crap on this list, 700 people can have
the pleasure of receiving (reading?) it.
- When someone flames over a topic that has been debated countless
times, without reaching an interesting conclusion, I would say at
least 600 people would have rather read the old arguments in the
archives.

You might also want to read the Linux Audio Dev's homepage :

Interesting quote :
The Linux Audio Development Mailing List is unmoderated. No matter
what you post, the list will see it. Please take responsibility, keep
your postings on topic and help maintain the friendly and respectful
atmosphere that we have here

Thank you to keep those in mind when posting.

 Ah, you're confusing JACK Demolition, with Demolition. Demolition is a
 LADSPA host for testing plugins, JACK Demolition is a JACK client for
 testing other JACK clients. Nick wrote Demolition, and I wrote JACK
 Demolition, inspired by it.

Yup, you missed my last mail :-p

BTW, I never tested Demolition, but I imagine that since it's an
LADSPA host, would it be interesting to use JACK demolition +
Demolition in conjunction ? Or for a more preset matter, write some
LV2 Demolition and use it with jacknuke (to be also able to feed some
midi noise) ?

The more I think about it, the more I would like the idea to have/work
on a testing framework. One thing that made me very sad is not being
able to use TAP plugins because of some nasty crashes (even though
they sound very good to me). If some testing had been possible at the
time of their writing, I guess some of those issues could have been
spotted/reproduced easily. Nothing is lost though. I just don't feel
like getting in that kind of code right now :-p

  In my opinion, the concept of audio session should _optionally_ include 
  JACK
  server settings. The user should be able to save and load his/her preferred
  JACK settings along with a session

 This can be done without any specific support in LASH.  You would only
 need a JACK-settings LASH client that saves settings with the session
 and then loads them again when it's restored.  Of course, loads them
 again would be non-trivial at present.

loading again is trivial with jackdbus. Saving will be when jackdbus
has some sort of preset management (it is planned)

 What's really needed to support this kind of operation is a more dynamic
 jackd that can have settings changed arbitrarily and, where possible,
 without damage to the client graph.  The driver switching patch (from a
 long time ago) was intended to be a movement in this direction.

I imagine this is a lot tougher, and I'm not sure there's any urgency
in doing that.

Now to add my two cents to the debate, I would also say that having
some gigantic daemon on top of everything is certainly not a good
idea. But having a control application that can handle jack and lash
would be very convenient IMHO...

Maybe my pyjackctl thingy needs to be renamed something else to also
integrate lash support when some dbus interface is also available to
control it :-)

 For example if I transfer 200mb to a usb disk the copy command takes

 before it is actually finished being transferred and the device is
 unmountable.

 How would I track the 5 minutes of data transfer with bash?

  For example if I transfer 200mb to a usb disk the copy command takes
  about 30 seconds before it returns and the data takes about 5 minutes
  before it is actually finished being transferred and the device is
  unmountable.
 
  How would I track the 5 minutes of data transfer with bash?

 Hi,

 AFAIK I don't see how you could do that with anything than a low-level
 API, let alone bash... Although I may be wrong... Surprise me !

Hmm, email got stuck somehow and arrived after the battle...

[LAD] Goodbye ReplyTo munging...

2007-08-08 Thread Marc-Olivier Barre
Dear list members,

ReplyTo munging is now deactivated on Linux-audio-dev and
Linux-audio-user. We now have a RFC compliant list.

To reply to the list, you may use the reply to all button of your
email client, or the reply to list button if your email client has
one.

Best regards,

 Nope.

I only meant natively reading them.

  That'd be nice but as I said earlier, FLAC can't handle Ardour's wav
  files:
 
  [EMAIL PROTECTED] sounds $ flac Audio\ 1-1.wav
 
  flac 1.1.2, Copyright (C) 2000,2001,2002,2003,2004,2005  Josh Coalson

  options: -P 4096 -b 4608 -m -l 8 -q 0 -r 3,3
  Audio 1-1.wav: ERROR: unsupported compression type 3

 Seems that ardor uses WAVE_FORMAT_IEEE_FLOAT and flac can only do pcm.
 http://flac.sourceforge.net/faq.html#general__samples
 That make flac not idea for that purpose. If one still wants to do that,
 gstreamer could do the converion and en/decoding.

Well if FLAC can be read by ardour directly, gstreamer is not such a
bother... I can include that in my script.

I'll give a try to wavpack too and tell you how things went.

Seablade

I must admit this is a issue I wanted to raise for a while now...

For those of you who haven't heard, there has been a very long debate
on whether replyto munging was or wasn't a god practice. Each side had
a reference paper stating a number of pros and cons :

- http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html
- http://marc.merlins.org/netrants/reply-to-useful.html

The fight between Simon Hill and Chip Rosenthal finaly ended in 2001
when a new RFC obsoleting RFC 822 appeared, RFC2822.

Here's a paper from  Neale Pickett stating the final story :
http://woozle.org/~neale/papers/reply-to-still-harmful

I strongly consider turning munging off on LAD and LAU. I know this
might start some flames, but isn't it good free software philosophy to
stick to the standards, especially when it comes to a recently
reviewed RFC ?

If someone can give me an argument that is not present in the 3
previously linked documents stating why we need to munge our headers,
I'll turn munging off next week.

 Pretty cool.  Does JPEG 2000 handle float data?

 I'd love to be able to write an archive script for Ardour sessions
 that compresses the audio data losslessly, but FLAC won't do it.

I been thinking of the same thing... can't ardour handle FLAC files
natively ? a simple script in you-name-it language calling flac to
to compress the audio and change the session file to match the new
names should work I think.

Thoughts anyone ?

 So - as far as I can see - the Java language is now aboard as a first

Great news!  Now when Websphere goes into an infinite loop you have to

Yeah, and before building a realtime-safe GC, they'd better try build
*at least* a safe GC...
