ah yeah, sorry. pleas do s/aeolus/zita-convolver/g in my answer. > As well, we didn't "add" ffmpeg support to zita-convolver, we > replace fftw3 with ffmpeg, and only use this under special > circumstances (ARM support), i'm not sure what you mean. zita-convolver depends on FFTW3 for doing the FFTs. if you "replace fftw3 with ffmpeg", you create modifications to zita-convolves to not use fftw3 anymore (in some special circumstances), and instead use ffmpeg's FFT (whether as a library or statically compiled in). in any case, this seems to be a substantial change to some parts of zita-convolver, so you should definitely add your copyright to the files you modified (substantially). > we didn't distribute it as "zita-convolver library" so? it seems that you did distribute it "in some form" (else what are we talking about?). MuseScore doesn't distribute a disfigured version of "Aeolus" in order to pile praise upon themselves and/or to denounce fons. they distribute "MuseScore" which comes bundled with a version of Aeolus that integrates into their system. similar goes for Maurizio: he has a project called "oscAeolus" which makes it quite clear that it is a derivative of Aeolus (and not the real thing itself). > No useful patch is available. i didn't say that contributing is easy. more often than not it requires a lot of work and interaction with upstream until you have prepared a patch that can be accepted. what i did say is that you should make a useful patch available. i'd love to see a zita-reverb that performs "ideally" on all platforms (and that unfortunately includes ARM-systems by now) fgmasdr IOhannes -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.14 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Icedove - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlI7HScACgkQkX2Xpv6ydvTf7wCffveaT7UQIrfEHbEggjOQ49YY N7IAoMFG7gtNrnts7zpuA8RLUEbklhkx =wc/9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
