does anyone have any clues about how to solve this in a
packageful way? thanks
Because a prog (I think brutefir) uses both variants, I have 
build my fftw3 rpm (with checkinstall) the way, Suse build their 
package:
- first build the normal version
- then in the install step install the normal version and build 
and install the float-version.

You can get the src.rpm from the Suse server.  Look into the 
SuSE-9.0 tree.

[linux-audio-dev] Ann: Vstserver v0.3.0, ladspavst v0.1.6, vstserver-0.3.0-wine.tar.bz2

2003-12-22 Thread Kjetil Svalastog Matheussen


Vstserver 0.2.8 - 0.3.0:
-
-Cache is updated when starting the vstserver. Also added some  workaround code
 to avoid deadlocks. You may still sometime need to press ctrl-c and start
 vstserver again, but the problem is not as appeareant as before.
-Does not use realtime priority when updating cache only.
-Better documentation for vstlib. (make doc)
-New functions in vstlib: VSTLIB_newCacheList, VSTLIB_deleteCacheList, VSTLIB_getName.
-Removed function in vstlib: VSTLIB_deleteCache. (Use VSTLIB_delete instead)
-All clients must be recompiled.
-Works with the latest version of wine at the time of writing, 9.12.2003.



vst ladspa plugin v0.1.6 - stable
--
-Use the new vstlibs functions to gather
 the cached AEffect structs. (non-important update)


vstserver-0.3.0-wine.tar.bz2

This is the unmodified cvs wine from winehq 9.12.2003.
Tested and works with vstserver v0.3.0

 On my system, the vanilla 2.6 with preemption is usable for audio, but
 nowhere near as good at low latencies as a properly patched and tuned

Ok, i will give it a shot to see how it goes..

 
  I somewhere read something about merging andrews LL and the
  preemptible patches. Is there any truth to that?
 
 We all hope so.

Hmm, maybe i'll drop andrew an email to see what his thoughts and plans
on the issue are..

 
  What about the 2.4.x capabilities patch? Will this work on 2.6.x?
 
 Yes, I think it will.  But, 2.6 provides a mechanism for doing this as
 a kernel module with no patches required.  Here is an experimental
 module I built based on earlier work done by Torben Hohn...

Okay :) I will try it..

Thanks for the infos..

[linux-audio-dev] Low Latency patches and kernel 2.6.x

2003-12-22 Thread Florian Schmidt

Hi Andrew,

i'm a user of a 2.4.22 kernel patched with the preemption patches plus
your Low Latency patches. It works very nicely for audio applications
[like jackd, ardour, etc...].

Looking into the config menu of the 2.6.0 kernel i only find a
preemptible kernel config option. Your low latency patches seem not to
be included. Do you have plans of including your patches in the 2.6.x
kernel? I heard rumors about merging the preemptible and your LL patches
since they seem to go very nicely together.. Any truth to that?

Thanks i.a. for any thoughts and insights. 

Flo

P.S.: this mail is cc'ed to the linux audio user/developers list because
i think the people there are very interested in these issues, too..

my mistake was to have freshrpms in my sources.list ... when i removed

 The objective in 2.6 is that the preemptible kernel achieve similar
 worst-case latencies to the low-latency-patched kernel.  So 2.6 should
 meet your requirements out of the box.
 
 
 That being said, last time I instrumented the 2.6 kernel it was not
 achieving the targets.  The specific failure was occurring when the
 machine had a very large number of inodes in cache and the VM system
 was reclaiming those inodes.
 
 It is unlikely that you will strike this problem in real-world usage,
 so 2.6 should work fine for you.  As ever, testing results would be
 appreciated.
 
 (The inode reclaim problem is fairly complex, but I just happen to see
 a patch from Dipankar Sarma in my inbox this morning which is designed
 to fix it up).

[linux-audio-dev] ANN: RTMix 0.76 released

2003-12-22 Thread Ivica Bukvic
Greetings all!

It's my pleasure to announce immediate availability of RTMix version
0.76.

RTMix is an interactive multimedia art performance, composition, and
coaching interface capable of triggering various DSP applications and/or
processes concurrently, as well as offering a tight coordination between
computer(s) and live performers. It can also trigger real-time events
utilizing MIDI and OSC protocols, and can be in theory networked from a
single client with up to 1000 other RTMix clients (personally neither
have I had the opportunity to try this and besides the network latency
would probably get the best of it anyways).

For more info on what it is, what it does, and how it does it, please
see the online docs:

http://meowing.ccm.uc.edu/~ico/RTMix-doc/

Changelog:

*RTMix is now part of the AGNULA project!
*In order to comply with the AGNULA inclusion requirements, the install
is now completely modular. Please use ./configure
--prefix=preferred-path to install all the data files to the custom
location. Binary is stored in /preferred-path/bin directory, so in the
case your path happens to be exotic, please make sure to use
--bindir=path-to-bin-directory for custom binary directory placement.

RTMix has so far been featured at ICMC 2002 conference (Sweden), SEAMUS
2003 conference (US), in the Organised Sound magazine (December 2002),
and has been used in several of my works whose recordings are available
on my website. If you happened to use RTMix in your work, I would love
to hear in what ways you got to utilize its features, as well as how can
I make the application better. Thanks!

As usual, the tarball is available for immediate download from:

http://meowing.ccm.uc.edu/~ico/rtmix-latest.tar.gz (4.3MB)

For more info, please visit my website, RTMix forums at
http://meowing.ccm.uc.edu/cgi-bin/ico/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=Rtmix_id,
and/or the online documentation (provided above).

Best wishes,
