LADSPA plugins
by Florin Andrei
Kudos to whoever pushed the LADSPA SWH plugins to Extras! Thank you!
Now, here's my thoughts: this is a set of LADSPA plugins. It works
strictly in conjunction with the package named "ladspa" - indeed, it is
an extension to it.
Therefore, I believe that the name of the plugins package should include
the string "ladspa" somewhere. Examples:
ladspa-swh-plugins
Or perhaps even more logical:
ladspa-plugins-swh
This name shows clearly the fact that it's actually part of the LADSPA
suite. Moreover, the highest, least specific, denominator (ladspa) comes
first, the second highest (plugins) comes next, while the most specific
denominator (swh) comes last. Kind of like the YYYYMMDD scheme.
My proposal is to settle to a clear rule to name these packages and
apply it consistently to all LADSPA plugins. There are quite a few that
can still go to Extras:

And this one too:

Shameless plug for a mate...
by Joshua Wulf
Check out my friend DJ Vraj's album on Jamendo and write a review if you
can. He's a new Fedora user and just starting to figure out how to use
the tools we have available on the platform.
This album was produced using a hardware sampler and multi-track
recorder, but he's started work on the next one using Fedora.

playlist selection idea
by Tom Poe
There are many genres that have musicians and artists participating in
mailing lists. I bet they would like the idea of contributing a
playlist to be included, if they knew about jamendo and the FC6 seeding
planned. Can anyone make a wild guess as to how many around the world
might be installing/upgrading to FC6? How about jamendo? How many hits
a month is happening there, now?

Subject: NYC's Trinity Church and Linux OS
Interesting use of the Linux OS:
http://www.newyorker.com/talk/content/articles/060911ta_talk_hersh
"The organ, which belongs to Trinity Church on lower Broadway, had been
damaged during the destruction of the World Trade Center. When the first
tower collapsed, the sanctuary filled with the dark smoke and dust that
covered much of downtown Manhattan. Fine particles filtered into the
organ, clogging its nine thousand pipes and corroding its leather parts)....
Owen Burdick, Trinity’s organist and director of music, thinks the
church may have found something better: an all-digital organ, installed
in 2003 as an “interim” solution, which has been a surprise hit. (It has
standard consoles for playing, but no pipes; its software runs on the
Linux operating system.) In July, Burdick demonstrated it at the
American Guild of Organists convention in Chicago, where it received a
standing ovation. “It can do a lot of things a pipe organ can’t,”
Burdick says."

Jamendo and firefox
by Joshua Wulf
I've talked a friend into releasing a couple of his albums whose
copyrights have devolved to him on Jamendo. I've been checking the site
out, and it seems to hang my firefox browser a lot of the time, just
looking at it. Something to do with flash on the page, perhaps?
It is just me, is it something that affects platforms other than Firefox
/ Linux, is it a known problem?
I'd ask on the Jamendo forums, but as I said, it keeps hanging my
Firefox browser...

Fwd: [Fedora-music-list] Jamseeder problems for Jamendo?

Hello Greg,
This behaviour is OK, it means 15 albums are being downloaded in HTTP from
our archives. This should last a few minutes depending on the bandwidth and
then you'll begin seeding them. (That's a 1Go+ download usually)
The output isn't quite pretty yet, there's a rc2 out on sourceforge that
fixes a few things. Some developers are joining us, there will be more stats
and debug info in the next release :-)
Tell us if you have any other problem, though
Thanks!

I've seen a similar problem reported on the Jamendo forums. Any idea
what's causing this? Anything I can do to help you troubleshoot?

X and OpenOffice.org lockups with Jack limits.conf changes
by Keith Sharp
Hello,
I have downloaded Jack from Extras (for FC5) and made the changes
to /etc/security/limits.conf as described in the README.fedora file.
kms - rtprio 20
kms - memlock 256000
(I am not confident that I have chosen the correct value for memlock, I
have 1Gb RAM in this system).
All was good and my music making was progressing well until I ran
OpenOffice.org to update a spreadsheet. Repeatedly my entire display
would lockup requiring a login over the network and the killing of X (or
dropping to runlevel 3 and then back to 5). Reversing the changes to
limits.conf allowed me to login and run OpenOffice.org without any
problems.
Hardware is a ATI Technologies Inc RV370 [Radeon X300SE] running only
standard FC5 Radeon X drivers (xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.5.8.0-1) and kernel
2.6.17-1.2157_FC5smp.
Has anyone else seen this? Any suggestions for debugging?
Thanks,
Keith.
