[Rosegarden-user] Rosegarden, Linux and Turboboost

Hi all, I had a hard time finding out why Rosegarden sometimes shifts to a higher speed and - after some seconds - shifts back again. Audio tracks were out of sync then. Obviously my Linux 3.0 kernel has no problem with Speedstep (varying CPU clock) but with Turboboost. After I switched off

[Rosegarden-user] Entering values for LADSPA plugins directly

Hi all, some plugins are unusable for me because I cannot enter arbitrary values. The AM pitch shifter plugin has a range from 0.25 to 4. But I cannot enter values directly. It doesn't seem to be a language problem (messing with , and .). Even if I start Rosegarden with LANG=en_us.utf8
