[Alsa-devel] [Announce] ITE ac97 codec patch ( IT2226E)

2002-08-09 Thread Richard Liu

Hi. 
  Here have a ITE ac97 codec patch for alsa-driver-0.9.0rc2
ITE is a IC design house which have many IC productions.

ITE develope a AC97 codec for INTEL ICH4, but we found some problem
in probe AC97 codec on ICH4, so I mark the key code,
let snd_intel8x0 can run our chip . 

this code we test in Mandrake 8.2 , I use newest stable release kernel 
2.4.19 and alsa-driver-0.9.0rc2 test it, and ok.

I am sorry I don't know how to avoid intel ICH4's problem for our
production only. 

ITE's homepage : http://www.ite.com.tw

Regards
Richard Liu

Re: [Alsa-devel] new alsa docs.

2002-08-09 Thread Patrick Shirkey

To make the module options complete I need someone to send me the output of

 modinfo $(modprobe -l snd-*) | cat > modules

when run on PPC and an ARM and a computer with old PnP cards/slots.

Run it as root user. It will write a file called modules to the 
directory you run it from.

could you give us the exact url for the patch (or attach to the mail)?
i couldn't find the place storing the patch from www.ite.com.tw.

yes.  you need to read CDDA.
in such a case, it's impossible to support cd on the driver side.
it's an application's job.

EREMOTEIO is acceptable in the case of i2c, since the device is
"remote" from the host.

but EIO is more generic, so i agree to change to this value.

>you'll need to update alsa-lib, too, if you use the cvs drivers.

I downloaded the cvs version and attempted the “cvscompile” in the
driver, libs, tools and utils. Unfortunately I could not compile the 
lib because of an error. Seems to be occurring in the control/ 
control_shm.c file. I have attached the output for you to see.

I am sorry I took so long to answer but my disk was full and I had
to move some stuff around to be able to compile ok.

I would like to confirm the following though:
1. All I need to do is a “cvscompile”, the modules will be 
automatically installed (no need to depmod –a for example?).
2. I need not remove the rc2 compilation output (no “make clean” 
necessary?)

TIA,

no, as long as you compile alsa-driver externally from alsa-driver
package, you don't have to apply a patch to the kernel.

the patch was already in cvs.  but i'm not sure whether it was already
fixed on rc2.  please try the cvs version.
you'll need to update alsa-lib, too, if you use the cvs drivers.

i could help for general fixes but such a hardware specific problem is
difficult to handle without the card in hands...

perhaps Massimo, the original author of opti9x drivers, can help
better.  (now cc'ed, too)

hmm, not found.  did you forget to attach it actually?

anyway, to track down the bug, we need the precise information about
your environment - which distribution, glibc, and kernel version,
etc.

perhaps that was the reason -- disk full.

no.  cvscompile does only compile.
after that, you need to install the drivers by running "make install"
as root.

no.  the very latest makefile on alsa-driver will remove all old
modules before installation.

[Alsa-devel] Help with SPDIF output on Via EPIA with via686 and VT1612 codec

[Alsa-devel] ANNOUNCE: Rosegarden-4 v0.2.0 released

2002-08-09 Thread Richard Bown

The Rosegarden development team would like to announce the release of
Rosegarden-4 v0.2.0 - a sequencer and music notation editor for Linux.

This is a pre-beta release and while not yet stable enough for end-users it
has many interesting features and is suitable for Audio and MIDI recording,
playback and editing and notational composition.  The project is approaching
a beta testing phase and this release represents a first step towards
completion of all major parts of the intended functionality.

For the source tarball, mailing list, FAQ and developer and end-user information
please go to the project homepage:

  http://www.all-day-breakfast.com/rosegarden/

Major features of this release:

- Multiple mono audio tracks supported through JACK with audio VU meters
- Some significant improvements to notation layout of simple
  contrapuntal staffs
- WAV file loading/saving including BWF format peak files
- Audio Manager dialog: sortable list of audio files in projects including
  child segments
- Configuration pane for notation editor
- Audio VU meters including live preview of audio levels
- "smooth-move" modifier (Shift) for matrix tools
- Event list view with event type filtering and event editing
- Support for PitchBends, Controller events, also better but not yet complete
  support for System Exclusives, Pressure events.
- Various new notation commands (Cut and Close, Untie Notes)
- Sweep selection of Segments on main canvas
- Sweep selection and multiple event movement on matrix view
- Progress dialogs
- Semi-automatic syncing of audio and MIDI using JACK latency sliders
- Audio segment splitting, including auto splitting to a threshold
- Event playback on selection movement in Notation and Matrix view
- Track addition/deletion
- Added tempo ruler to main window as well as notation window
- Non-destructive Segment resize (through Segment end markers)
- Rescale Segment command
- Initial support for user-configurable notation styles, such
  as different note head shapes and tail count.  Provided
  a selection of default styles that can be applied in the
  notation editor.  (No style editor yet, edit the XML files.)
- Rather flaky support for grace notes
- Text annotations in cute yellow boxes in notation
- Slashes now available on note stems
- Notation can now show notes that needed smoothing quantize
  in another colour (namely, green)
- FAQ and the beginnings of the first Help documentation
- Set tempo event to length of segment
- Audio visual preview - waveform shown on Segments 
- Incomplete support for BWF files
- Build admin/ directories tidied.
- Repeating Segments improved

[Alsa-devel] emi 2|6 usb-audio

2002-08-09 Thread Niklas Werner

Hi all!

Good News (especially to takashi):

Emagic's emi 2|6 works with 6 channels out using a52dec from dvd!
unfortunately there seems to be no way of accesing the 6 channels via the 
.asoundrc-trick from patrick. I can't get any pcmCxD1 or pcmCxD2 device.
alsamixer only shows 2 channels in and 2 channel out.

===
cat /proc/asound/emi/stream0

But:

 33:   : timer
 32: [1- 0]: ctl
 48: [1- 0]: digital audio playback
 56: [1- 0]: digital audio capture

card0 is my ppc-screamer, card1 is the emi.

Does anybody have an idea, how I must tweak my .asoundrc to get a device 
I can send 6 channels of appropriately formatted data to?
I'm aware that a52dec seems to send sample1Ch1-sample1Ch2-sample1Ch3 ...
I'd like to control the channels seperately, but I'm afraid that won't be 
possible...

Have fun*

Niklas

[Alsa-devel] hdsp driver, digiface, external sync

"Internal" preferred sync, but chokes when trying to sync the
card to external sources. This happens using both "ADAT1" and
"Word" as sync sources - in both cases the front panel LEDs
for ADAT1 and Word Clock light up solid when the external
source is connected. Playback fails with weird errors:
