I assume the synthesizer output is midi(?), in which case rosegarden will work with it.

Without such a converter you wouldn't be able to hear sound coming out of whatever you connected to the USB port. If you connect USB speakers, a soundbar, USB-C earphones and the like, they all have some DAC converter chip on them to turn the binary USB input into audible sound. There's Class 1 and Class 2 USB audio devices. Class 1 can process up to a maximum of 24-bit/96kHz files, while Class 2 can reach up to 24-bit/192kHz - if you have this quality of audio files. A dummy audio driver pretends it is an audio device for testing the audio on your PC, but it will not produce audio output.

Re: [gentoo-user] Stream Audio to RasPi on LAN
I personally have this setup running on Windows on my home network. XBMC has uPNP built in which allows streaming to or from my home theater setup from either my Android phone or another uPNP machine on my network. It's by far yhe easiest solution I could come up with. Even lets me stream 1080p movies. I'm sure a similar setup could be achieved with the linux version of XBMC. There's even a specific version for the Pi.

Does anyone have a setup like this? Know of any good options? Randy I don't know what desktop env you are running, but would PulseAudio be an option? You could send the audio from your program (browser) to the Pi but keep the chat notification on your local machine. I switch between xfce and xmonad (from startx). My only experience with pulseaudio is the weird audio thing that keeps messing up ubuntu from two years ago when I had just gotten off windows. After taking a second look, it looks promising. Thanks. Randy I was going to suggest pulseaudio just from the title of the thread. It's just for audio so you don't have to muck around with everything else (but OpenElec is a great option if you want a media center). The only thing I can think of is you might want to adjust the resample-method in daemon.conf if you find it's using too much CPU. -- Alecks Gates

It is possible to setup alsa using bluetooth:
Add to ~/.asoundrc (if it doesn't exist just create it)
pcm.bluetooth {
type bluetooth
device 11:22:33:44:55:66
}
(replace 11:22:33:44:55:66 with the actual
address of the bluetooth headset). Sound can now be directed to the
headset via the alsa device bluetooth, e.g.:
ogg123 -d alsa -o dev:bluetooth
Some GUI application doesn't show that device in their configuration
dialogue. vlc is an example of this behaviour, but it is possible to
make vlc use it by manually editing the configuration file.
You can also make the bluetooth device the standard device by
pcm.!default {
type bluetooth
device 11:22:33:44:55:66
}
It is a long time since I made that setup, so I can't say if it will
work out of the box. But it is possible to avoid pulseaudio. I hope it
will help.

It could be best money I can spend, but my Italian Ph.D. student wage is REALLY low. Well you can find a mobo with 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 audio chips onboard, for very little extra cost. Advanced audio chips usually support downward compatibility all the way to stereo (2 speakers). What of these audio chips are supported with Linux? Googling or consulting the ALSA matrix is not enough. My current card should work with ALSA intel8x0 driver, yet it always has problems. Currently it doesn't work at all. Not the first time it happens, but now I'm unable to fix it (see the other thread). Make sure the board works well with Linux, Google a while, then when you find a board, ask on the list if the chipsets are supported. Many mobo sites list all chipsets on the boards, except for the proprietary SOC chips... What SOC chips are? Speakers. Well, since you are a grad student, you can use most any speakers as long as they are not too big and they have the small analog plugs (like what is found on a cheap set of stereo pc speakers). You can solder wires from speakers you find at a garage sale or just lying around, as long as they are not too big. Stay analog on the (speaker/chip)outputs to keep the costs low. Yes, but I have no idea of how does a surround 5.1 set is made or how does it look like. What to choose etc. Being a phd student/candidate this is right up your alley. Most Universities I've been around have lots of old gear (small analog speakers) around. Check the EE department or volunteer your services over at another part of campus, in exchange for old gear. Lots of Music departments throw away old amplifiers and such. Ehm. You really have no idea of what the University in Italy looks like. There is NO thing like a campus. Nothing. Zero. University is just a bunch of buildings scattered all within the city, usually one or two for each department, where lessons take place and research is made. Most students (except a few ones having excellent grades AND poor economic conditions) are expected to live by themselves, usually by renting a room somewhere in the city. And grad students have no coverage whatsoever, apart from monthly 800 Euros, nor are hosted somewhere near the university. They're basically underpaid researchers. Sad truth. Things like a university campus etc. are just dreams for us. When we watch a movie like Animal House, we simply don't understand. The movie is fun etc. but the whole environment for us is alien.

Make sure to configure the kernel so that it has basic sound support enabled (I would compile this into the kernel, not as a module, but that is me). Next, on the menu where you choose options, leave OSS unmarked, and select Alsa support. On the submenu for Alsa support, select everything that applies (Do select OSS Emulation, as some packages don't ASK which driver you are using, they just assume the one they want is there). If you select extra things here, it won't matter much. The extra items are just Midi drivers, and if you don't have Midi hardware, they aren't an issue either way. ^_^ In other words, on this screen it is safe to select pretty much everything. On the screen for PCI drivers, select the option(s) appropriate for your hardware. 'lspci' should show which sound card your system has. If you are using devfs, then the device nodes should be created automatically, if not then I am not sure how to create them manually in an old style system. It is possible, that you may need to manually chmod a+wr the device node in order use them (This is assuming they are there, which you said they were not I think). Also dsp, should be /dev/dsp in many cases. Many of the items you want will be under /dev directly instead of /dev/sound These may be links to the /dev/sound items, but I am not sure. ^^;; More experienced people can probably tell you that. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

There is a delay for buffering or processing or something inherent in the pvr card. There is no such delay through the sound card. I suppose the card could be broken. Sometimes they are. Any chance of taking it back to the shop and asking for another one? Or *cough* trying it in windows? I also wonder whether you should try either the mythtv-users list or the ivtv-dev mailing lists. Probably the first thing they will ask for is the log information from dmesg between these two lines: ivtv: START INIT IVTV necessary info ivtv: END INIT IVTV Just looking at this I see mine contains: tveeprom 0-0050: audio processor is CX25843 (idx 37) tveeprom 0-0050: decoder processor is CX25843 (idx 30) Also I note via lsmod that I have a cx25840 module loaded. Presumably that takes care of the sound. It may pay to look at your output - there are many variations of chipsets on these cards, particularly between PAL and NTSC models. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- Nick Rout [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Hello Uwe, In my experienes, you need to build a 'mixing studio' or at least a very simple A/V mixing system. There are too many A/V tools to use. I'd first look at the MoBo book and see what onboard hardware you have plus 'lspci' -v and 'lshw'. Using the core mobo chips is usually the most straightforward. Also look at what sound cards you have. Then 'eix keyword' using mixer, audio, jack, alsa etc to discover the various packages and try them out. Also use google to search for keywords + audio chips where audio chips are the actual chips you find on your hardware. 'kmix' is a quick and simple mixer that often provides control over the various audio chips. You'll also have to rebuild your kernel many times to find the right combo of drivers to compile in and/or load as modules. Often the various audio chip drivers conflict at the kernel, udev or application level. There is no 'silver bullet' to build a mixer/mux for A/V, in my experience. It all depends on what you need. Moving over old movies, one of your greatest challenges will be keeping the audio and video synchronized over the duration of the recorded stream. hth, James this is all completely irrelevant to the question. The PVR-150 muxes the audio and video into an mpeg stream.

It's quite common for keywords to be missing because the ebuild author hasn't been able to verify it works on that platform. I quite often add ~amd64 or ~ppc to the keywords (ekeyword is easier than editing the ebuild) and find it works just fine.

I see an ebuild for Jack-0.100.0 but I don't seem to be able to build it on my AMD64 machine or on my P4 laptop. I do not see it listed in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask so I don't think it should be unbuildable. on http://packages.gentoo.org/search/?sstring=jack-audio-connection-kit it seems that the package is only available for ppc.

Best regards Well, thanks. How bizarre! I guess I should learn how to write an ebuild then. Jack is actually up to something like 0.100.5 so this is getting pretty old at this point. (15 minutes later...) I just copied the ebuild to under /usr/local/portage and modified it to suit me. emerge now finds but it doesn't build as it complains about 'no maifest'. I also see some bug reports on line about this new version breaking older Jack apps so maybe I'd better go slow here. thanks, Mark Thanks, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Neil, Is there no difference when the ebuild is personal and held in /usr/local/portage as opposed to one held by portage proper? no it still needs a manifest and digest files. see below for the quickest way to generate them. Also, is it important to ensure absolutely no overlap in names? Since I just copied the one one in portage but didn't rename it I wasn't sure I wouldn't do some damage to the database somehow. overlay will beat portage when emerge is figuring out which one to install. so if the ebuild files are identically named the one in overlay will be built.
