audio/media related reports to bugzilla.redhat.com ignored?
by Niels Mayer 30 Mar '26

30 Mar '26

For audio/media related apps and issues reported on bugzilla.redhat.com , this is the pattern: bugs get filed, they're never acknowledged && totally ignored. Eventually people stop filing bug reports as it ends up being a waste of time and the quality of the distro goes down as result.... https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=566665 [abrt] instability from snd-mtpav on PCI parallel port, causes crash in jack-audio-connection-kit-0.118.0-1.fc12 (edit) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=588965 [abrt] crash in gnome-media-apps-2.28.5-1.fc12: Process /usr/bin/gstreamer-properties was killed by signal 11 (SIGSEGV) (edit) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=602900 [abrt] crash in alsa-tools-1.0.22-1.fc12: ____strtol_l_internal: Process /usr/bin/envy24control was killed by signal 11 (SIGSEGV) (edit) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=602903 envy24control "Reset Peaks" button nonfunctional; metering shows no peaks Niels http://nielsmayer.com PS: the above is not my experience with non-media related bugs, which are handled quickly and effectively, e.g.: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=575875 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=445543#c20

To fully test you'll need a guitar and pickup plugged into your soundcard, but even a go/nogo on whether it starts would be helpful. Where I developed the package, it works OK, but another older AMD machine, it fails during startup. This will help me to decide whether to push it to the F8,F9 updates repos. DaveT.

Low Latency vs. Real Time Kernel
by Brian Monroe 10 Nov '14

10 Nov '14

I've been spending a lot of time on the #opensourcemusicians channel talking to Ubuntu Studio users about their kernel and latency times they're getting. Seems like most of them are using g a stock kernel with the preemptive option enabled and they are getting great latency results (2ms)while utilizing the @audio group on their user. I ended up compiling my own low latency kernel and I haven't had any issues with it yet. If this is what we are missing for the spin I'd be happy to maintain packaging for the kernel. I know ccrma has been behind a few kernel releases. I saw the instructions for adding the real time patch for a tick less kernel and from what I can tell it wouldn't be hard to get that rolling as well. I'm not entirely sure what ccrma does differently with their kernels compared to other Linux users, and I'm still a bit of a noob so I could be off base with this, but I would reason that we should be able to just utilize the same settings to archive similar performance enhancements. I thought I read that ccrma uses a unique scheduler, but if we could get a 2ms latency time without it, the point may be moot.

audacity - audio editor - testers requested
by Development discussions related to Fedora 25 Feb '12

25 Feb '12

Hi, Following up on a scratch build from two weeks ago, the audacity project [1] is now at release candidate 1 for audacity 2.0.0 [2], and is expecting to release in another 2 weeks. I've built packages for Fedora devel [3] and RPM Fusion 16 [4]. I would welcome any help you can give in testing either package, as preparation for release of v2.0.0, and providing packages for Fedora users. In terms of the testing, while I think a fairly random approach is useful, think about a task you would like to achieve with audacity, and follow through with it, to see that it succeeds. For problems, please create bugs, or reply to this message with a subject indicating the issue. Rather than a straight, "works for me", please indicate any functions/menus you did use, so that others might test different functionality. For mp3/ffmpeg file format support, use the version audacity-freeworld from rpmfusion buildsys instead.

Re: [Fedora-music-list] Call to arms - Fedora Audio Spin
by Kyrian 23 Feb '12

23 Feb '12

Just been taking a metaphorical chainsaw to my inbox and got through to the Fedora Music list at long last. I've packaged up some bits and bobs and assisted with Fedora myself, for better or for worse. Anyway, this thread makes me think a couple of things that I'd like to throw in for the masses (nor not, as the case may be) to chew over. - Couldn't this lot be done as a yum 'Group' or several? With that then incorporated into the standard installer environment? - Then I think, ah, wrong kernel, and pulseaudio? But that could be grouped too, no? Have, say, Jack and have it conflict with pulseaudio somehow? - Then it all sounds a bit complicated, and I can't help think that maybe a respin is a valid and sane way forward. - But still, it might be nice to give the non-pro users a leg-up to that sort of stuff with package groups in Yum anyway? Surely you don't need an RT kernel unless you're really hammering at the audio? - Having better documentation would be really good, and I've noted the "Musicians Guide" on my travels, which I fully intend to real real soon now(tm). - Every person who's into pro audio that I mention about Linux audio says "ah, but will it accomodate my XYZ plugins/filters from a.n.other windows app"? As far as I know the answer is usually "yes", but I hope that's documented in wherever the docs are. I'll gladly put in such time as I can find to make this happen, and if necessary to get it documented as well, because I want to start using all my kit properly through Linux, with the minimum of fuss (there was a lot of fuss the last time I had a go, in spite of PlanetCCRMA and other's best efforts...), help other people at the same time, but perhaps mainly, get some distractions from my day job which involves Linux too. Another thing it would be nice to have is a way to use my laptop running Linux for dj-ing if I'm feeling extremely lazy on a given night (I'm not a laptop DJ when I do so, but others are, and, hell, CD's are heavy, physically as well as at times musically), but I could not find a suitable app for that. Rhythmbox has a cross-fade feature, but it's a bit "brute force" and not very nuanced. If this helps, or provokes discussion in any way, then that's great, and if someone can help me with any of the above questions, that's perhaps even better.

Call to arms - Fedora Audio Spin
by Brendan Jones 22 Feb '12

22 Feb '12

Hi all, Traditionally Fedora has been known to walk the bleeding edge in free and open source software development but for some reason this has never been realised in the realms of pro-audio/music creation. Fedora has never really attracted the support of the audio development community, and as a direct result has only flagging support from audio users, enthusiasts and professionals alike. I think there are a number of reasons for this: 1) Strict packaging and licensing guidelines, 2) relatively short release support cycles 3) the absence of an stock RT kernel 4) the effort required to tailor an installation for audio use Distributions like Debian/Ubuntu/Arch (and others like AVLinux) have garnered strong support because they in some way address all of these issues. Fedora however... 1) and 2) we can't change. In fact at the end of the day these strengthen the distribution by making the packages we ship more robust and closer to upstream. It also demands a certain amount of love to ensure that updates/ABI bumps/breakages are dealt with decisively and swiftly. It also means that audio developers are more unlikely to maintain their own packages in Fedora (we need more maintainers) 3) I can't see happening any time soon. The kernel team maintain so many out of tree patches already that I don't think they really have the time nor desire to maintain the realtime kernel as well. I don't see this as a problem - recent kernels have incorporated much of the the rt kernel patches of old and should satisfy most users. For those with more stringent requirements can rely on the CCRMA patched kernels 4) is where I think an audio spin comes into play. If we can collate/automate all of the steps involved in setting up Fedora for audio production we will attract both users and maintainers alike alleviating the problems caused by 1 and 2. I'm proposing to formally revive the past Fedora Audio Spin / Music Creation efforts of a couple of years ago in time for an F18 Audio spin release. This means we have one whole release cycle to get all of the packages we require into stable so they can be available for Live composes for the F18 release cycle. Apart from packaging efforts, the last few weeks for me has been an information gathering exercise. More on this soon, but briefly, the current to do list is: - pulling in all of the must have packages from CCRMA - determining the package list - packaging the Fedora Musician's guide - repackaging/patching rpmfusion packages for Fedora (qtractor and others if required) - developing sane RT priorities for the stock kernels (threadirqs) - consensus on distribution media, default desktop/supported desktops - default systemd enabled services - themes and artwork - resubmit the Spin proposal for F18 If you want to contribute, here's how: - become a contributor/get a FAS account [1] and join the music-creation group - help maintain the audio creation wiki's (formalize the to do list)[2][3] - this is really out of date. Many packages have been orphaned or are already in Fedora. Needs to be brought in line with the package database [5]. I'm not convinced that this page really needs to be so detailed. Wish lsit is probably the most important - register your interest in the contributor section of the audio spin wiki [3] - help test new packages - I will be listing all upcoming changes on this list and I encourage other package maintainers to do the same [3] - become a tester or packager of audio packages [4][5] - help test the new spins as we make them available. - join Chris in his documentation efforts [7] - volunteer desktop artwork - and most importantly, voice your opinion on how this project should be realized! Choice of media/desktop/applications /configuration etc. More proposals on this coming soon. Packaging the software and building the media constitutes less than a quarter of the effort required here. What we need most is strong community support so please respond to this email if you are interested!

Package and Revise the Musicians' Guide
by Christopher Antila 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Greetings to the list: ==== Packaging ==== The Musicians' Guide has been published since Fedora 14. I think, when Brendan says he wants to "package" it, he wants an RPM version that users can download and access without an active Internet connection. Nobody has done this yet. For most of the Guides, this isn't particularly useful. That's why (I think) only the Release Notes are packaged. Theoretically, everybody should read the Release Notes. For most of the other documentation, it's not as useful to have an RPM package. I'm not even sure whether the Release Notes are packaged any more. The Musicians' Guide is a little different. There are a lot of extra media files that go along with the tutorial exercises, and it would be handy for users to download all the media files at once. I'm not sure of the best way to deliver these files--maybe even separately from the documentation, or separately from each other--but RPM packages would be useful. I would really appreciate somebody else's help in taking care of the packaging issue, so I can spend my time on the list below. ==== Revising ==== These have always been problems, but they're more prominent if an Audio Spin or RPM package draws attention to the documentation. 1.) Official Fedora documentation shouldn't recommend and provide instructions for installing non-Fedora package repositories. There's a chapter about the real-time kernel and the Planet CCRMA repository. This is also an issue because it involves/recommends a lot of manual tweaking that tends to break between releases. I'm fine with just leaving this, but it must be tested. 2.) Related to the previous point, Qtractor and SuperCollider are only available from the RPMFusion and Planet CCRMA repositories, respectively. Depending on what we do about point (1), we could just remove those chapters until the Qtractor and SuperCollider make it into the official repositories. Ideally, only the rt-kernel would live at Planet CCRMA (as far as "things in the Musicians' Guide" go). 3.) I didn't finish some of the tutorials, so they don't have examples of the completed project. I want to rewrite a few of those with new content anyway. The Ardour tutorial is particularly questionable; it doesn't have a completed version *and* I don't know if the setup process even works for other people. 4.) The Qtractor tutorial relies on a copyrighted sound recording that isn't freely available on the Internet. It's also not included. Easy fix: adjust the tutorial to use a recording, even of the same music, that we can redistribute. 5.) Here's the best one! The Audacity tutorial is made with fragments of a copyrighted sound recording that *are* included. My understanding of copyright law at the time suggested it would be okay, because the fragments are short, because it is impossible to reconstruct the original content from the fragments, and because it is intended merely for private, educational purposes (learning how to use Audacity). I have since realized that, even though these factors may apply, it won't necessarily stop an organization from filing a lawsuit. Packaging these fragments makes it worse, and including them on live media for a Spin makes it worse still. This point also has an easy solution: start with fragments that we can redistribute. We wouldn't even have to rewrite the tutorial... just do all of the same things with the new fragments. 6.) There's a "to-do" list in the comments at the bottom of the Revision_History.xml file of the Guide's repository.[0] 7.) There are also a few issues on Bugzilla, including some patches that should be incorporated. 8.) Then of course I complain about my writing quality. Everything needs to be copy-edited. In short, other contributors' help would be greatly appreciated. Let's get crackin'! Christopher.

Default Desktop Environment
by Brendan Jones 16 Feb '12

16 Feb '12

Hi all, I've been thinking about what kind desktop environment would best suit the needs of audio users. Since the Gnome 3 release I've kind of abandoned GNOME as it doesn't really quite gel with my workflow. Since then I've been hovering over KDE/XFCE, but the latest mongrel openbox (mixture of xfce4/qt-razor) setup I'm using now seems to be winning. The qt razor project seems really exciting [1] - I've found the components to be really quite mature but alas a little sparse. Razor is not in the repos yet but there is talk of including it and it is under heavy development [2]. I'm wondering if razor could be used as the default desktop for an audio spin? If the desktop team ever decide to endorse a Razor spin we could leverage off their efforts as well. Jus thinking aloud - let me know what you think Brendan [1] http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home://TI_Eugene://QtDesktop/Fedo… [2] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Razor-qt_Spin

ETA for music spin release date?
by William Blackburn 13 Feb '12

13 Feb '12

hello, I am wondering when do u think this spin will be ready for deployment. i am willing to help with it. if u need anything tested, just post it up and I'll test it. will the ccrma repos be defualt ? I am a curious george :). I look forward to this taking off, although to be honest, this is not the first time someone has planned a music spin and it never happened. I was on the list for the last one and it never happened. So, if I can help, just let me know. I am not a kernel hacker, but I know enough to get by and to maybe even contribute something useful. One more question, how will this spin be any different than a regular fedora install with the ccrma repos installed? Are you guys planning on using the CCRMA kernel or will you roll your own for this spin? It has been my experience that the CCRMA kernel(rt) is usually a release or two behind and it doesn't always work on my machine. Im not trying to be a Debbie Downer, but I just want to know the details before I get excited. Are you guys documenting the spin anywhere yet?

PULSE Audio on the Music Spin

Would be possible to ditch pulseaudio completely for this project? By that I mean, not have it installed in any way... I just feel like we might be better off not having to deal with it. That may even be the plan, I just didn't know and was curious to find out.

New packages / Fedora Audio

Hi all, I have recently gone through the pain of relocating countries, setting up new workstations etc. and would love to have all the packages I use sitting in Fedora. As a result I've packaged a few things which I use What is the status of the Fedora Audio SIG? After going through this myself I am keen to resurrect the idea of a Fedora Studio. We could even make it a feature of Fedora 17. We would probably need to coordinate from planetccrma what desperately needs to be in mainline Fedora and any other packages which are missing. If there is anything you would like packaged which is not let me know. In the meantime there is a new packages that have hit Fedora 16 (at .least) in the last month or so. zita-at1 - Fons' auto-tuner zita-rev1 - Reverb from Fons phat - GTK toolkit for audio software, was in planetccrma, depandancy of specimen. New project coming soon to Fedora petri-foo, which replaces/inherits specimen (currently FTBS in planet) clxclient - dependancy of zita*, previously in planetccrma* I also have a couple of lv2 plugins awaiting review here [1]. Also thinking of packaging Neil, although this will probably need to reside in rpmfusion regards, Brendan [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&classificatio… FAS: bsjones Freenode: bsjones (not often but will lurk in #fedora-audio, #opensourcemusicians for a bit)

Hi all, as mentioned before, if there is ever going to be some kind of audio spin, we need to move some of the most common used CCRMA packages into Fedora - that should free up Fernando to keep working on the rt kernel ;) I've started on some of the smaller ones - if some of the developers would like to review swap please do! I'll keep adding to the list as I knock some off. If anyone wants to maintain/co-maintain please feel free. I'm also trying to package the new LV2 stack to make sure we are in a position to package all the new plugins that are coming out. CCRMA 788718 clalsadrv - An ALSA driver C++ library (most of the following depend on this one) 789255 ebumeter - Loudness measurement according to EBU-R128 789251 jmeters - Multichannel audio level meter 789249 jkmeter - Horizontal or vertical bar-graph audio levels meter 789240 freqtweak - Realtime audio frequency spectral manipulation 789059 jaaa - JACK and ALSA Audio Analyzer 789055 japa - JACK and ALSA Perceptual Analyser 789385 ambdec - an ambiosonics decoder 789390 aeolus - aeolus organ synthesizer 789391 aeolus-stops - aeolus presets LV2 788717 lv2-ir - An LV2 impulse response reverb plugin 784605 lv2-instance-access - An LV2 audio plug-in extension (part of the spec) 783825 suil - A lightweight C library for loading and wrapping LV2 plugin UIs 789386 lilv - An LV2 Resource Description Framework Library My packages awaiting review can be found here [1] cheers Brendan [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&classificatio…
