Re: Low Latency Audio Capture on the N900, QAudioInput BUG: has 5000msec latency, Meego audio future

 So my advice to Nokia, while still in time, cosider switching to JACK
 as an audio server for future versions of Meego,

The N900 already sucks batteries like mad. JACK is a no-compromise
low-latency pro audio server, and does it at the expense of some
processor time. You don't want it on an N900, otherwise the poor battery
life would be even worse.

 Hi,
 Can you back up your claims that pulseaudio uses less CPU than JACK ?
 pulseaudio cannot do wonders, if mixing is required the code must sum
 up the inputs, jack does this
 already in the most efficient manner and one can easily add ARM vector
 code to speed it up.

The typical use case is only one sound played at the same time. In that
case the sound server needs to:
- not do mixing
- use as few interrupts as possible, i.e. having the biggest acceptable
latency possible. Otherwise the sound hardware keeps waking up the
processor to fill a tiny buffer again and again.

I don't know for the first, but I'm pretty sure JACK isn't designed to
do the last.

 Hi,
 is it possible to install the German localisation of Maemo-OS on a US device?
 I'm wondering how open Maemo *really* is.

I've just set my US N900 to French, and it all works well.
Just don't forget to keep the keyboard set to English/Netherlands (it's
not autodetected).

 Hi,
 
 I have two questions regarding Hildon Input Method.
 
 1) Is it possible to deactivate the word completion for a complete

I think so.

 2) Is it possible to tell HIM, that it should capitalize the next typed
 letter, even if it is not the beginning of a new sentence?

It's possible to autocapitalize, I don't know if the reverse works.

 Would be great if someone could point me in the right direction.

Re: N900 Charging Issue

 Hi all,
 
 has anyone had this kind of charging issues for N900? My problem was
 when I plugged in the USB cable into N900 it did not show up the mode
 selection dialogue and did not show any charging indication either.
 The same happened with the wall-charger as well.
 
 Also, when i turned the phone off and plugged in the USB cable, the
 front LED flashed yellow twice and nothing happens.
 
 I am so annoying by this issue as I cannot charge the phone properly.
 Is this something related to the Maemo software?

Maybe it's a hardware problem, I know there has been troubles with the
µUSB connector for some.

I hope you didn't buy your N900 overseas. Mine was bought in the US, and
Nokia Europe refuses to take it under warranty because of that.
Now I'm stuck with a dead pixel, and I hope nothing worst will happen.

  This is not totally correct. Application callbacks can only cause GTK+
  to *invalidate* regions. In sane code, redrawing *never* happens in a
  user callback but only in expose event callbacks, which are triggered by
  GTK+ *only* when the time for redrawing comes.
 
 Application (expose event) callbacks implement painting for
 application's own widgets and treeview cell renderers.
 
 But where inside the application process they happen (app or Gtk code)
 is not so important.  The issue is that Gtk (AFAIK) has no mechanism to
 synchronize this drawing with the compositor and doesn't offer
 applications any mechanism for it either.  If painting/redrawing
 takes too long (there's some delay between the X draw commands due
 to what application does internally), it doesn't go the the same boxed
 XDamage event to the compositor.

AFAIK GTK+ redraws are double-buffered, so if it takes too long to
redraw a frame it's simply delayed until the next one.

 Ah. Is there some way that this will help me - the original poster?
 Does clutter bypass the compositor by making its opengl calls? Do I
 need to somehow render clutter output to an offscreen buffer and let
 the compositor smooth things for me as I blit them back on screen?

That's true.

You could try playing with the CLUTTER_VBLANK env var (set it to none,
dri or glx) to see if it helps.

Yes, that's what Jason talked about: non-phone predecessors are very
