2008-06-03 Thread Daniel James
Hi Peter, IMO it is a very bad idea to have a package build against a legally dubious library just because the system it was built on happened to have it installed. lame itself is not legally dubious, it's just unfortunate in being liable to software patent enforcement on MP3 encoding.

Bug#446405: ardour: Embeds too many libs

2008-05-29 Thread Daniel James
Hi Antony, It's a shame this hasn't been looked at yet. I hope ardour makes it into Lenny. Various people are working on this - the latest plan is to get a new release of libsndfile upstream, so that Ardour doesn't need to embed a copy. I have been doing a little research into this, and

Hi Antony, libsndfile isn't the only library that is affected of course, there are several others Right. is the same activity taking place, to integrate patches with those? Hopefully we can tackle those one-by-one after libsndfile is sorted out. Cheers! Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE,

Hi Sven, I'm not sure how the copyright is best handled. Maybe you can add the GPL stanza as a comment in the beginning of the files? I don't mind how they are licenced, the test pages could be GPL or public domain. I only made them because the Ximian pages were out of date and buggy.

Hi Günter, I think this is at least worth a wishlist bug against jackd, because jackd should tell us that it can't do the samplerate we asked for. I agree, at the moment it's confusing for people who have this type of sound chipset, and it seems these are very common now. Jack already

Hi Günter, Just wanted to package this, but then I realized that Debian testing already has version 0.2.20. I've tried 0.2.20 but it shows the same behaviour. Is there a way I can query the sample rate from libjack independently of qjackctl? That might help narrow the problem down.

Hi Günter, I can confirm this bug. It does not seem to affect the sample rate of jackd, only the display of the sample rate within the qjackctl GUI. You can see this in the attached screenshot, where jackd is running at 44100 Hz but the GUI shows 48000 Hz. You can also see this wrong figure

Hi Rui, QjackCtl GUI reports sample-rate as read from jack_get_sample_rate() as client of libjack. It just seems that jackd (server) is running at one SR (44k1) and the libjack client interface is reporting the default one (48k). Looks like a jackd/libjack implementation/deployment specific
