It's difficult to know what you've actually done from this description. I know nothing about the UMC404HD apart from the two downloaded PDFs, 8849567252510.pdf and download_259085.pdf. I know nothing about Ecasound. Let me first reveal my ignorance by asking: does Ecasound run on your computer, or on the Behringer? I'm going to assume the former, that you're playing a file on the computer in Ecasound, which then enters the Behringer via the USB connection. > The above command properly sends channel 1 to > loudspeaker 1 and channel 2 to loudspeaker 2, but it doesn't manage to send > channel 3 into loudspeaker 3. How are these loudspeakers connected to the Behringer: which type of connectors are used, in which sockets, and what's the pinout at each end of the cables? What type of input do these loudspeakers expect to be driven by: presumably not an unbalanced 50W into 8Ω! > Actually, the Behringer seems to behave in > stereo mode. Do you mean that all three channels have been mixed into two channels, and this is what you hear on your loudspeakers 1 and 2? Isn't that what these lines might indicate: > (eca-chainsetup) Opened input "sndfile", mode "read".

So please help: how can I - if ever > possible > - send channel 3 to loudspeaker 3? And, more in general: is it possible, even > with some other device, to achive what I want? I can only guess, because I know so little about the Behringer. Here are questions I'd want to find the answers to by experimentation. Your sound source is the computer? Do the three channels become "inputs", controlled by those Gain knobs, or do those only function with instruments/microphones (plugged in). Do any of the SIG LEDs light up? What's the effect of the Stereo/Mono button on your sound channels? What's the effect of rotating the Mix (IN/PB) knob? Are you also monitoring through the headphones? If so, what's the effect of MONITOR A/B? I won't ask about the Inserts, unless you say you're using them. OK, my guess is that you're feeding the Behringer with two sound channels, mixed by Ecasound on your computer, into its 1 and 2, and that's what you're hearing played. Your feedback might completely change my mind. BTW would it help to see what the output of $ amixer -c 2 scontents shows, ie the capabilities of the USB sound card. It sould be more informative than cat /proc/asound/cards. Cheers, David.

First, I assume the software isn't CHIRP, since that also runs under Linux (and is open source besides). When I faced a similar problem (reverse engineering the protocol used to talk to a hobby rocket altimeter), I put Windows on a virtualbox VM on my Linux machine, and then used wireshark to watch the protocol.

It's not something new: back in the early 90s, Acorn was trying to sell the Archimedes (British made, with a 32 bit ARM processor) to schools and universities. 'No, no,' said the academics, 'the whole world uses Windows 3 so we have to teach that.' Of course, hindsight showed that when Windows 95 appeared a couple of years later, it had a look and feel far more similar to RiscOs on the Archimedes than it did to Win3, which was just a graphics shell bolted onto single-user DOS. By the time most of these students left school and university, Win3 had gone the way of the dodo. A little further thought would have shown that students being taught at that time (and ever since) would go on to spend their entire lives adapting to newer and shinier IT systems and learning how to operate new software every few years, so some diversity at an early age would have been of more benefit than a monoculture. -- Joe

It's very good for such questions, because it is unambiguous whether the nth addressable unit (let's say byte) is the start of a character or not. When it /is/ the start of a character, the number of bytes in the character is given by at most 1–5 bits of that first byte, so you don't have to hunt for some kind of terminating byte. > > Doing that with utF8 is from way too complicated to impossible.

That text¹, in whatever encoding, and now called "corpora", could be analysed as part of someone's corpus linguistics research. The major problem that seems to be exercising this thread at this point is that the OP needs to swallow scads of documents, some, many, perhaps most of which are on the web, but process them on a computer that has never been connected to the internet. Some of us, decades ago, were coping with this problem, as it applies to the software, in the days before Debian's tools had evolved to the functionality they now have. These tools seem to have been overlooked. And so we have discussions of removing networking from the kernel, redesigning apt using java, and de-americanising unicode, all closely monitored, keystroke by keystroke, by NSAs around the world. Typical debian-user, eh? Did we ever decide which meaning of MSI applied for explaining the quirk in the subject line? Perhaps Randolph Quirk would coincidentally have held an opinion. ¹ I assume a similar treatment is meted out to PDFs, and the cache of videos is fed into a speech analyser, all to add to the mountain of text.

Actually I don't even know if that's ever

- What you want is to play multiple channels: of course it is possible.
Surround sound is one of the use cases:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surround_sound
and it is commonly managed ("edited" is probably the correct word) on a DAW
- is it possible with your Behringer interface? As Jeremy Nicoll has
judisciouly stated earlier, this interface is sold as a 4 inputs and 4
outputs one (an information that I had overlooked), so I am almost sure
it is possible (maybe I am wrong but Ias I see it, the only potential
obstacle being limitations by the interface in certain use-cases and the
need to do the routing on the PC)

The way I go about it is: my default browser profile has no javascript enabled (and no cookies, BTW). For some (roughly 10) pages, I have a separate profile.

When I'm curious about a page, sometimes I see "oh, it's a black (or white) hole" -- the psychological interesting part is: is my urge strong enough to set up a profile for that?

I saw in the last 6 months a daemon that let you get oauth tokens on linux and then it refereshed the token indefinitely until told to stop. Essentially making the token available on linux so you could use it in another program that requied a password, for example fetchmail or getmail. I've tried to find it but I'm turning up nothing. I'm pretty sure I didn't imagine it! Does anyone recall the name? This could definitely be helpful for fetching mail from an account with oauth setup.

Yes, but 2FA is just about getting the human factor out of the loop. Put yourself into Google's or Facebook's shoes. All those users who forget their passwords (or even worse, come up with easily guessable ones, or use the same password across several services, yadda, yadda). This is just support burden which diminishes margin. Now there would be two ways out of that: educate your users or keep them dumb and take them out of the loop. Which one aligns better with their business plan?

Depends on what you mean by "addressable unit", surely? UTF8 is a variable-length record format, but it's still addressable. Basically, it's like taking a CSV file and saying "what's the contents of the cell starting at byte 123"? CSV cells are variable length. Perhaps there isn't such a cell.

Ask your administrator to enable "Per Application Passwords" - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/user-help/multi-factor-authentication-end-user-app-passwords The idea here is that, if a human is logging in, they still provide two factors (something they know and something they have) via the TOTP mechanism. But for automated access, where an application is logging in on behalf of that user, the user generates a long one-off password ONLY for that application. This works a bit like an API key - password #1 is for gnus on laptop 1, password #2 is for Fetchmail on laptop 1, password #3 is for gnus on laptop 2 and so on. Each instance of an application gets its own long password. It's ostensibly more secure than storing the user's password in that application because: * Per-App passwords are computer-generated. They can be tested for high entropy and regenerated instantaneously, before a "good" password is offered to the user. (I don't know whether this is actually done, or whether it's just the output of a pRNG password generator) * Per-App passwords can be revoked without spoiling access to other applications.

It's been dying off, slowly. While we're swapping anecdotes, I'll give what limited insight I have into my own workplace's handling of email. For starters, some of you may have noticed that I changed my email address on this mailing list. This is because of policy changes at work that made it effectively impossible for me to read technical emails via my previous address. So now I'm subscribed from my personal address instead. This will work for me as long as I'm working primarily from home, under Covid rules. Looking at the subject of this thread just makes me cringe inside, because whoever is asking that question still has hope. And that hope is going to be crushed. My workplace's official policy is that we are no longer allowed to have an independent email service of our own. Period. Full stop. All email at work has to go through the corporate system, which is Microsoft. No exceptions. We're not allowed to host mailboxes, we're not allowed to receive email from the outside, and we're not allowed to send email outside, unless it goes through their relays. In order to continue reading debian-user at work, I would have to allow its messages to be sent to Microsoft. I would be reading them through Outlook Web App. I cannot accept this. It's not tolerable. So, I unsubscribed from that address, and switched over to this one. Some of you may be wondering why corporations have done this. In the case of mine, it's because of incredibly powerful fears of phishing and malware. Some health care providers have been shut down by it in the last half year, and all the rest are utterly terrified. So, the official policy is that all incoming email has to go through the corporate system, which blocks and filters everything to an extreme degree, in order to try to prevent a malware intrusion via email. Access to external mail systems like gmail is also blocked, for the same reason -- they're terrified that someone will receive a malware email at an external address, view it via web mail in a browser on a Windows machine, and bring a virus/worm into the corporate network that way. (They cannot even *comprehend* that some people are not running Windows, or reading email in anything other than Outlook or a web browser. Not that it would matter to them. I'm sure there are people within that department who would outlaw all non-Windows desktops, if they could, because they don't control them. That department feels a need to control literally *everything* computer-related that any employee ever sees or touches.)

Re: Multichannel audio playback
Did you adjust the volume of output 3 and 4 in alsa? if you are lucky, the routing is correct and these outputs are only muted. But I think (no pun intended) that in your present case, you need to learn about: - mixing and mastering (partcularly routing) - particular abilites or limitations of your Behringer interface - linux low-level tools if that is what you want to use That's why I suggested you to use GUI tools, because, while perhaps sometimes bloated or in certains cases not offering certains options that a CLI tool proposes sometimes, GUI tools are more intuitive. And it's easier to learn only mixing/mastering than mixing/mastering and linux audio internals at the same time. As a starting point a tutorial about audio routing could be of use to activate outputs 3&4 and chose what to feed them in (sorry if this is not a correct sentence, I'm french).
