[AUDiO] Rebirth Player - programmers needed!
by Oliver Ob 23 Jul '02

23 Jul '02

Locations: ========== www.propellerheads.se www.steinberg.de Program: ======== ReBirth 338 1.0 ReBirth 338 2.0+ Question: ========= I have searched the entire Propellerheads' homepage and other sources. I have exchanged mails with M.Zetterquist, one of the programmers and still do. I need a KDE (or even better: CONSOLE) player for the audio RB format, I was able to locate format descriptions on the above pages, but even the programmers do not know of a Rebirth Format player (.RBS file ext) under Linux environment. ("devzone" on the HP above) Now the ?: Is there any of you capable of programming such a thing? Maybe you know one of that kind. Please PM me, I am in contact with Propheads for Linux support anyway. So far I have found similar analogue synth programs for Linux, but none of those I know does support the ingenious .RBS Format. **** As of yesterday I now have the format description from the guys at Steinberg. So is there any coders wanting to help?

Minolta Dimage 5 and Suse 8
by Irwin Hutchinson 18 Jul '02

18 Jul '02

In "Using a Minolta Dimage 5 camera under Linux" (http://linuxfocus.org/English/May2002/article240.shtml), Guido Socher refers to an edit to a file "unusual_devs.h from /usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/storage/". Has anyone any idea where this file can be found in Suse 8? Has anyone any other tips for setting up this camera under Suse 8? Irwin Hutchinson

Broadcast2000 Recording Problem
by Mel Steinberg 11 Jul '02

11 Jul '02

I have used Broadcast2000 for quite a while to convert cassettes to WAVs to be burned onto CD-Rs. Ever since I upgraded from SuSE8.0 from 7.2, I have not been able to record properly. The resulting WAV files are time-compressed. I can play existing WAV files back (all sampling rates and resolutions) without any problems, so the problem only occurs when recording. I never had this problem under 7.2, and my equipment has not changed since that time (Athlon800/384M memory/SoundBlaster Live! Value). I have reinstalled Broadcast2000 several times, and reinstalled the sound card, with the same results. I've set the recording sample rate to both 44100MHz (which was successful in the past) and 48000MHz (the SoundBlaster's fixed frequency). I got Cinelerra up-and-running the other night, and it exhibited the same problem. I've got a live audio overdub to do, and I'm dead in the water, for the moment. Could the change from ALSA 0.5 to 0.9 affect it? I'm at a loss, and open to suggestions. Thanks! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>MEL

MP3 Info
by Oliver Ob 10 Jul '02

10 Jul '02

Having, let's say, a dir called /mp3 full with say 10 .MP3 files, how do I get information on how long the tracks are each (meaning in minutes and seconds) and also a summary on the total length of these 10 files (also mins and secs). How do I do that from the *console* ? Hope there is a solution, do not want to run X11+XMMS for this small thing all the time. -- *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 mailto:VGAP-93-subscribe@yahoogroups.com I I http://home.t-online.de/home/spacecraft.portal I >>> Telek0ma iBBMS - now back online +49.4504.TRSi1/TRSi2 <<<

Problem with libGL
by Jason Farmer 10 Jul '02

10 Jul '02

Hi everyone, I've got a problem with my new SuSE 8.0 installation. the games that came with it, i.e. Tux Racer and Armagetron work perfectly but I cannot get any other software to recognise OpenGL. Quake2 for instance complains that it cannot load libGL.so.1 But the file does exist on my system in the /usr/lib directory as a symlink to /usr/lib/GL/libGL.so.1.2.xf86_glx Although /usr/lib does not appear to be in the path. Should this be in the path? if it should be then how come it's not? And how do I add it to the PATH? Thanks Jason

by arnaud kubacki 07 Jul '02

07 Jul '02

Hi ! I am looking for softwares running under Linux in order to create Digital Musics and create some Videos (Mpeg-1) with Special effects (Like video that we can see in some Games, like Sid Meiers Alpha Centaury during Introduction). Does Linux Support the in-Sound Card very well, in order to play Synth and save tracks on disks ? What kind of Material do I need to get ? (I am a beginner for such kind of work) Arnaud
