Just use the standard ice1712 driver and envy24control program. I have the big brother to the C-Port (the one with separate external DAC and ADC racks with mic-preamps on each input) and have no problems playing back multi-channel stuff under Linux. I havn't tried multi-channel recording with it yet (under Linux anyway), although I'm sure it should work with no problems. Scott

Hello All I'm in the middle of just such a project as described below [DAW c/w Linux] and have just ordered a C-Port DSP 2000, after discovering Hoontech, a Korean company who manufacture audio cards using the same chipsets as the Delta 44/66/1010, the difference being the Hoontech AudioDSP24 offers 10 channels of 24bit-96kHz for the same price as the Delta folks give you six. The gear is being marketed as C-Port in N. America. Check out www.staudio.com www.pcrecording.com/hoontech.htm or www.hoontech.com for further details The Delta cards have Linux drivers, the Hoontech/C-Port do not. My Question is what is involved in writing a driver for this device considering a driver exists for a device using the same chipset? Am I asking for the moon here? Is this something only the manufacturer can do? I'm new to the Linux & DAW worlds so please use small words and short sentances in you reply :<) Thank you, Blair, Toronto Patrick Shirkey wrote: > workstations running entirely on linux.

[linux-audio-dev] Announce: 3D audio in Mustajuuri 0.2.0
[It seems my first message did not get thru, this is a resend] Hi. This is the announcement for Mustajuuri 0.2.0. Important additions: - 3D audio panner plugin for multi-loudspeaker setups. - Sound sample triggering (the new synth plugin) - Remote control API for the above plugins - "Auralization Control API" - New framework for real-time priority allocation (no root provileges required) with the givertcap - Better sound file read/write threading - New limiters and compressors - Better technical documentation (especially in the web) - Now much more stable - More low-level DSP classes The home page: http://www.tml.hut.fi/~tilmonen/mustajuuri/ Tommi Ilmonen
[linux-audio-dev] Announce: GIVERTCAP - capability handler (fwd)
[This is a resend, it seems my first attemp did not get there] Hello. GIVERTCAP is a small Linux application that is used to give other application real-time capabilities. With the aid of givertcap you can run real-time applications (audio and video -processing apps for example) with high priority without running the application as root. Your application does get a collection capabilities that allow it to run at very high priority. Givertcap was created to overcome the lack of capability support in Linux file systems. Once the Linux file systems start to have the necessary functions themselves, this apps becomes unnecessary. To use this app you need to compile it and make it setuid-root. After this other applications can use this mini-app to gain capabilities that are necessary for real-time operation. The home page: http://www.tml.hut.fi/~tilmonen/givertcap/ Please comment (!)

[linux-audio-dev] Re: [Csnd] [OT] Cool Edit & Snd comparison survey
So, if you're using one or both of those programs, perhaps you could answer the following few questions: 1) How do you most typically use Cool Edit, i.e., what routines do you most commonly access ? I use Cool Edit 96 as my default WAV player and editor when I use Windows. I use it to "clean up" samples from other people. I use it to compress (adjust overall level then squash individual spikes), dc bias adjust, fade in/out, convert sample rates, and convert stereo to mono. I like to try out effects like reverb and distortion on musical samples. It's also good for finding loops to import into Acid. 2) What do you consider CE's greatest strength as a soundfile editor ? It doesn't consume lots of memory and it handles large WAV files well. 3) What do you like most/least about CE ? Undo is a life saver. Being able to convert between different audio formats is a huge plus. The integrated CD player and VU meters are convenient for grabbing samples. The weakest part of CE is zooming. It just doesn't make any sense doing all of that guessing and typing. I prefer the magnifying glass buttons in Acid. 4) What would you most like to see in Snd ? My waveform. ;-) (see #6) 5) Do you prefer Snd with GTK, Motif, or no GUI at all ? Did you forget about QT? GTK is fine. Please use a stable version. 6) What do you like most/least about Snd ? I used the snd package from Debian stable. I could play a WAV file but my window was empty. There wasn't a display of the waveform. Installation by hand is maze of third-party libraries. (Guile? Why not just use Scheme?) Why use Guile and Ruby for scripting languages? Why not Perl or PHP? === Kevin Conder, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

No preference; indeed do not understand the question Dave> 6) What do you like most/least about Snd ? When I tried it is plain did not work Actually Cool Edit is the main reason I run/boot the WIndows machine. The other is that the CDR is attached to the SCSI bus (it is very old) I have to boot my main Linux machine into Windows98 in order to transfer data from my data as I have not managed to understand how to arrange the ALSA mixer correctly. That is a major use of CE for me. I have not found any acceptable Linux/Unix sound editor. The soundeditor on Irix4 was reasonable (but no sample level stuff) but the Irix5 version was much worse. I have a student looking at writing a Cool-like frame work (called Luke, and in lukewarm) ==John ffitch
