[PLUG] Recording with audacity

2011-08-10 Thread Keith Lofstrom
Rather than make a practice cassette for my next slide show,
I used Audacity to make a CD.  Much hair pulling and gnashing
of teeth.  Three versions of Audacity, two operating systems
on 3 laptops, different bugs on each, including:

1) Breaking the window manager on exit, requiring a ctrl-alt-bs
   on Ubuntu 10.4 (Audacity 1.3.12b)
2) Not picking up the audio input channel on my T60 (RHEL5 clone)
3) Not labelling tracks properly under the RHEL5 (Audacity 1.3.4b)
   version. 

And don't get me started on attempts to compile from source.

Is there a non-beta version of Audacity, or a beta version, that
is not too buggy? 

Or is there something better for simple recording from single
channel microphone to tracks on a CD?  I'm willing to record
the tracks (1 per slide, 69 for this 40 minute talk) separately,
as long as they play without gaps.

Yes, awesome, done.

Okay, stage 1 completed.  For stage 2, I need to take an existing sorted
list of binary numbers, sort a new list of these numbers, and combine
the two in sorted order.  I think I'll use perl to maintain the IP list
and build a server to serve requests for these numbers from a C program.
First things first, how to sort into a preexisting sorted list new
numbers.  Can arrays be concatenated in perl?  If so, I'm thinking
concatenate the new list and the old one and do a sort on the result.

It's two elements of the list.

Oh, those are simple.  They're already just a series of bits. Sort them
string-wise:

my @sorted = sort @original_list;

Done. :)

Re: [PLUG] Asterisk 1.8 and dahdi...

2011-08-10 Thread Sean Whitney
I believe I used the dahdi tools to configure the ports.  It seemed to work.

dahdi_cfg   dahdi_maint dahdi_speed
dahdi_diag  dahdi_monitor   dahdi_test
dahdi_genconf   dahdi_registration  dahdi_tool
dahdi_hardware  dahdi_scan


So if you have a specific file you have questions about, let me know and
I'll send you a copy.
