I don't know if the Linux kernels used for audio-video consumer gear are used for audio and video processing, perhaps they are just used to provide menus etc., but since the end of the 90s I never experienced the good audio and video sync we had with German terrestrial analog television.

I don't remember the brands of the satellite receivers I owned (discounter thingies), but a friend repairs receivers, so I've seen a lot. Many people in German switched to DVB-T, I can see it on my THOMSON DTI series 500. It could differ for different broadcasts of the same station. My claim isn't that the receivers cause the sync issue. I remember that at least some satellite receivers provided to manually set a delay, but AFAIK no auto-syncing option does exist (similar as PAL to ensure colour stability). My DVB-T receiver seems even not to provide to set a delay manually. ___ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev

I only want to point out that lip-sync is a known issue in Germany and that lot of consumer gear does use Linux. The lip-sync issue might be caused by the station or anywhere in the chain from station to receiver. If somebody would event something, that could automatically fix it, this perhaps could become the next great invention, after the invention of PAL. ___ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev

[LAD] Linux audio jobs/companies?
It's job hunting time, and while I am skeptical that there are very many paying jobs for Linux audio developers out there, I thought I'd at least ask on this list. What companies are doing work in the Linux audio universe? Or, on the other side, anybody know of interesting music-instrument/audio companies located in or around NYC (where I live) who might need Linux folks for their web presence or other online stuff? Any tips appreciated! Thanks, Bill Gribble ___ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
