First off, isn't this a suse-multimedia topic? Thus, I crosspost-move this mail there.

Gramofile was made for that purpose, although I have not yet investigated on the "detect pause time" option (or what was it called there?) > bladeenc Song.aiff What I am after is that if I copy say 90 min of sound to say maybe 10 splitted wav tracks, I want to convert them all (all 10 in one directory) to 10 mp3 files in one command on the console. i am trying to write me sort of a mp3_2_wav script, but yet it does not work. so before i go like reinventing wheels here, has someone such a script (no x, just console script!) that maybe uses the mpq123 -w option? > I suppose that automatically identifying the pauses and separating the > numbers into individual files is possible with DAP, but I have not > investigated this.

I would like to run these applications which I have so far not found in the wine homepage to be supported: Rebirth 1.0 audio application, audio runs GOOD, but screen addressment Rebirth 2.01 audio application, audio runs GOOD, but screen addressment VGA Planets Winplan 3.5 front screen loads, but cannot play game Planets 4 front screen loads, but cannot play game Incubation (Battle Isle 4) title loads, but no sound 688i Hunter Killer title loads from cd, but gets stuck on front screen, no sound My versions are all registered and original so that is not sort of a shareware restriction, but a problem of tweak options for wine. i also stand in front of a wall when it comes to that the audio WORKS for the sound applications, but does not for the games. WONDER BIG TIME. hope we can work this out together! Any ideas appreciated! -- *º¤., ¸¸,.¤º*¨¨¨*¤ =Oliver@home= *º¤., ¸¸,.¤º*¨¨*¤ I http://www.bmw-roadster.de/Friends/Olli/olli.html I I http://www.bmw-roadster.de/Friends/friends.html I I http://groups.yahoo.com/group/VGAP-93 I I http://home.t-online.de/home/spacecraft.portal I >>> Telek0ma iBBMS - soon back online +49.4503.TRSi1/TRSi2 <<<

Anyone playing midi files on sblive series cards?
by John Lamb 29 Dec '01

29 Dec '01

I have unstalled an sblive 5.1 card without problems (SuSE 7.3). I can play midi (alsa), for example, by using # sfxload /usr/share/sfbank/creative/8mbgmsfx.sf2 and then running kmid However, I have some questions that can probably be answered by anyone who has installed SuSE 7.3 with an sblive card already installed. These should help me automate the process of loading the soundfonts. 1. What should the alsa section (at the end) of /etc/modules.conf look like? Mine looks like: ------------------------------- # Alsa sound support. # Warning: please don't modify comments over aliases 'snd-card-#' alias char-major-116 snd alias char-major-14 off options snd snd_cards_limit=1 snd_major=116 # vuMS.9TIiBJnxyM6:SB Live! EMU10000 alias snd-card-0 snd-card-emu10k1 ##jdl added post-install snd-card-0 modprobe snd-seq-midi ##end of jdl added -------------------------------- 2. How is the /etc/alsa.d/emu10k1 script used? 3. Where is the 8mbgmsfx.sf2 soundfont normally put? 4. If I single-click on a .mid file in Konqueror I get the embedded version of kmid, which plays without sound. How do I tell the embedded kmid that I want to use the midi device: Emu10k1 WaveTable Emu10k1 - Alsa device? All advice gratefully received. JDL

Do these handheld digital mp3 players mount like a usb disk such that all you have to do is mount them and copy your mp3s over to them? Anyone used any of these with linux?? Regards -- Mark Hounschell dmarkh(a)cfl.rr.com

equalized .WAV files to CD
by Glenn Holmer 20 Dec '01

20 Dec '01

I have successfully transferred some audio recordings to large .WAV files, and would now like to transfer them to an audio CD. But I want to run them through an equalizer first. What would be the best way to do this? My sound card is SoundBlaster Live (module snd-card-emu10k1, ALSA). -- =========================================================== Glenn Holmer (gholmer(a)ameritech.net) ----------------------------------------------------------- Performing music well is a matter of distorting the score to produce the desired illusion, namely the existence of the score in a pure state. ----------------------------------------------------------- -Shadow, 1975 ===========================================================

Hi fellows, now that I have nothing working with movies I give you an example of what my problem is: File data looks like: -Tarkan_the_film.mpg -2.o6 MB 02:15 mins -size 160x120 I cannot play this file with any Linux application that I tried - so what is the WORKING equivalent to Windoze Media Player (which plays it fine?) Thanks ahead.

Problems with ESS Maestro sound card
by Daniel Martin Legazpe EEM/TM/VT TU-1 Tlf.1091 14 Dec '01

14 Dec '01

Hello all, I have a Dell Latitude CpX laptop with SuSE Linux 7.3. When I try to configure my sound card with Yast2 (or with alsaconfig) I have the following problem: * With quick setup it works fine, everything works, but when I start the window manager (only with kde) my computer hangs up. * With normal setup or expert setup my computer hangs up when I push the finish button =). All of them detects my sound card as an ESS Maestro 2E (module es1978). And ... with SuSe Linux 7.2 everything worked fine ALWAYS !! =). Can someone help me out with this problem ?? Thank you. Regards. Daniel/
