yea, I agree with you, but i think that it is a real need to have , at least, a link in the ubuntustudio page.

Hardware List
Ubuntu Studio is a great platform for Audio and Multimedia tasks, I use it for writing / composing music. I've been using Linux for quite some time and welcome the distro as it provides a good consolidated platform for my needs. I have a suggestion - Maybe the Ubuntu Studio website could house a hardware compatibility list . It would be great if it could focus on Audio hardware and include studio equipment. Audio hardware is difficult to select when building a linux based studio setup as there are still a manufacturers out there not providing drivers or adhering to USB Audio standards. Perhaps this could be made possible by community contributions? What do people think about this as an idea for discussion ?

I'd like to make you aware that there's a third possibility. "Can't be built against it" is relative- it is technically possible (although not common practice) to work around this. HD24tools for example has JACK support built-in (for Linux as well as MacOSX/Windows), but doesn't require JACK to be available; it is a soft dependency. This is vital for platforms whose users don't usually have JACK available. Without JACK available, HD24tools will try portaudio. With Jack and portaudio both unavailable, there simply will be no sound. This is accomplished by letting the application manually load libraries in runtime, rather than statically linking them in, or letting the compiler generate code to load the dynamic libraries on program startup. I suppose it would be possible to tweak Pulse Audio to have the same capabilities, but it's really up to the author(s) of Pulse Audio to make such a decision. I'll gladly provide the JACK wrapper code that allows this. In any case, I thought I'd make you aware of this possibility. As it allows JACK support to be built-in without it being a hard dependency, it could solve the problem posed by the original poster.

Low latency kernel in Lucid
Hi all, I received the following from Alessio regarding the Low latency kernel. Please test and write to the kernel team so we can have this in lucid and make ubuntu studio better! - I would like to remind you how large the advantages are to have a -lowlatency kernel flavour. Providing a lowlatency kernel allows us to have a kernel that is _very_ stable (like -generic because it is the same code without modifications and only with a different configuration) but with very good performance out of the box. Moreover, to have it in the form of a kernel flavour means that it keeps up to date with the -generic kernel without our intervention. In this way we can avoid recomending kernel-rt to most of our users thus avoid it's bugs and its continual trailing version of the generic kernel. What you can do for help? 1) Test the kernel ( http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~abogani/ ) and write an email to kernel-t...@lists.ubuntu.com with your comments (I hope that they are enthusiastic) (the packages will work on both karmic and lucid, however closed source graphics drivers will not be available) 2) Write to email to the above requesting this kernel flavour 3) Write directly to Tim Gardner endorsing it In short we could also use it as default kernel! P.s.

The Ubuntu Studio team is actively working to get Jack into Main right now as a fix for this, but it's not there yet (we're on our way though). For now, I have seen some posts on ubuntuforums.org regarding PPA repositories that include Pulse Audio built with jack support. Hope that helps. -Eric Hedekar -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
Jack in Ubuntu Studio
Hi there! We are using Ubuntu in church for recordings and sometimes to display a video or just play some audio. Everything works great, when you do not have Jack started. When jack is started all applications which do not support jack can not play any sound. This is e.g. Rhythmbox and Totem. I've seen some tutorials where you could preconfigure PulseAudio to use jack by default. But this was quite difficult and required many steps to do it and I didn't want to do it because I wasn't sure if anything would work after it. So here's my question: Ubuntu Studio is designed for professionals, can't you configure it to use Jack by default? Jack could be started when booting and PulseAudio would play everything over Jack. If this isn't possible, could you just provide an easy way to do this?
