[LAD] [ANN] QjackCtl 0.3.8 released!
Howdy! JACK Session versioning is quite simply the most interesting new feature for this release. It's optional but enabled by default. One can just turn it off and keep the bad old take-no-prisoners behavior :) Never is too late, QjackCtl 0.3.8 has been released! Enjoy. Website: http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net Project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qjackctl Downloads: - source tarball: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qjackctl/qjackctl-0.3.8.tar.gz - source package (openSUSE 11.4): http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qjackctl/qjackctl-0.3.8-2.rncbc.suse114.src.rpm - binary packages (openSUSE 11.4): http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qjackctl/qjackctl-0.3.8-2.rncbc.suse114.i586.rpm http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qjackctl/qjackctl-0.3.8-2.rncbc.suse114.x86_64.rpm Weblog (upstream support): http://www.rncbc.org License: QjackCtl is free, open-source software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later. Change-log: - Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads. - Session Save button now a drop-down menu, replacing the session save type combo-box/drop-down list selection. Also, an early session directory versioning/numbering scheme is now in place, although optional. - Probable fix to debian bug report #624198 - segfault when pressing the stop button (by Grant Adrian Diffey, after a patch from Adrian Knoth, thanks). - Desktop environment session shutdown (eg. logout) is now tapped for graceful application exit, even though the main window is active (visible) and minimizing to system tray is enabled. Both were causing first shutdown/logout attempt to abort. Not anymore, hopefully ;). - Make sure all activated patchbay definition files are in their complete and absolute directory path forms. - Connections refresh button now does an immediate and true reconstruction of all clients and their respective ports and connections, unconditionally. - Command line server start option (-s, --start) is now made independent from configuration setup option (cf. Setup/Misc /Start JACK audio server on application startup). - Now handling cable socket types properly to let patchbay definitions work correctly, whenever having sockets with the very same literal name (twisted from patch #3183467, by Karsten, thanks;). - Abrupt focus behavior when any of the keyboard modifiers (Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Caps Lock) is hit while on Connections client/port aliases editing (rename) has been fixed. - Russian (ru) translation updated (by Alexandre Prokoudine). - Added include errno.h alegedly missing for BSD style systems (applying patch for bug #3126091).

Hi, Thanks! It should be more safe now (for wise guys ;) ) to save a session, great. No support for 'infra clients' yet, right? Regards, \r On 07/01/2011 12:18 PM, Rui Nuno Capela wrote: Howdy!

This will give the community a very good chance that many apps will get JackSession support soon (or later). However, it's still reasonable to expect that not all LAD applications are going to be patched with JackSession support. In other words, there are and will be apps which might be useful (for one or more of us) to use in a session but which won't have JackSession (JS) support. From a users perspective, it would be very useful to be able to use that application (without JS support) in a session in some way nevertheless. At the moment one Session Manager (SM), Pyjacksm (Qjackctl will follow soon, and also Patchage I expect) makes this possible by manually adding 'infra clients' to a configuration file, .pyjacksmrc. See example below. Infra clients are designed for applications without a state, like a2j. But it is also possible to use apps without JS support as infra client. Amsynth is an application without JS support and in this way I am able to load amsynth, with project A. The SM makes sure that Amsynth is started and that the Jack connections are restored (that's the only thing the SM can do for you for apps without JS support). But I don't want to use Amsynth with Project A always (Session 1). I might be working on a totally different project and want to make a session for that also (Session 2). This time I want to load amsynth as: amsynth -b /home/user/projectB.amSynth.presets (I don't use Session 1 and 2 together in this example). To be able to load Session 2, I have to edit my .pyjacksmrc file or make symlinks. *Feature request*: It would be nice if the SM could provide me a way to load a different configuration file. For example: JackSessionManagerX --load configurationfileSession2 Thanks in advance, \r I think I have mentioned it before somewhere, but another good feature for a Session Manager would be the possibility to start (and / or use?) a session via the command line. Like: qjackctl --session session1.session or something. \r ___ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev

It's one of the few quality synths on Linux. Maybe a generous hacker will provide a patch for JS support in PHASEX :) \r https://github.com/disabled/phasex-dev ___ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev

And anyone can try this since the Android SDK and emulator are freely available. Plus, the Android NDK now provides a standalone toolchain, which should allow to build directly with waf. No need to play with Android specific makefile format anymore. -- Olivier ___ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev

LV2 doesn't depend on Glib. Perhaps you're thinking of the libs to help you get started with using LV2?

Maybe a generous hacker will provide a patch for JS support in PHASEX :) Hi Following your call, rosea, I added JackSession support to phasex ! The concept is still very new to me, but the result is promising at least. It currently doesn't restore the connections made, not sure why, maybe I'm doing anything wrong with the uuid ?? I can send the sources to you, or whoever requires it, in order to upload to an appropriate location.
