Ok guys I compiled it, (Note to self, Don't do this again for another 12 months)
What a pain, package after package, Anyways I compiled it with firewire support, So you get all in one package now, if I missed anything in package just let me know, I made 2 packages one with the devs and jack full all together so you can compile with it, and one with just plain jack and all the other needed applications for firewire to work. Most would only need the smaller package, on if your planning on compiling really use the other package.
enjoy

Wonderful! Firewire support is just what was needed (90% of the musicians use Firewire audio interfaces) :)

I'll do some testing now.

FFADO drivers for firewire devices

There are binaries,but it's a bad idea to use them in Puppy (the performance sucks):
NOTE: reports have been made that the performance of the binary packages is not as good as that of a source build.
Source:
http://www.ffado.org/files/libffado-2.0-rc1.tar.gz

a short excerpt from the FFADO site:
We are looking for packagers that are interested in creating packages for their favourite distro.
It's about time to get Puppy mentioned on their site (lots of potential users!) ;)
When I was compiling it I had a choice of using libfreebob OR libffado, I went to ubuntu and they were using libfreebob as default, So I went with that, if your using libfreebob then you don't need ffado and vice versa.
Am I missing something here? Also fado uses dbus, and thats not good if we have to revert to using dbus.
http://freebob.sourceforge.net/index.php/Main_Page
"Our goal now expands to 'providing Linux support for any Firewire based audio interface'."
with libfreebob I had to compile the following dependencies for firewire support.
libavc1394-0.5.3
libiec61883-1.1.0
libraw1394

Heres a little recording studio called traverso, you need jack audio from my above post and also qt to run it its actually pretty nice once you look at the preferences and play with it a bit.
enjoy

ps tell me If I forgot to include anything asap, I'll be formating my pc and these files will be gone in around 15hrs. After that I'm not recompiling all these over again :)


main program

qt4

Plus you need these missing qt libs from the compiler

FFADO = FreeBoB 2
FreeBoB is deprecated. FFADO supports a lot more hardware.
The FFADO website wrote:The FFADO project aims to provide a generic, open-source solution for the support of FireWire based audio devices for the Linux platform. It is the successor of the FreeBoB project.
But the DBus dependency is a big problem :(

well its a bit confusing for most, plus I think it still takes extras on-top of that. Also libfreebob source code was released April 11, 2008 so its not all that old, :)

Jack 1.9.1 doesn't work :(
OSS4 isn't recognised. Worked well with the old version of Jack (0.116.1).

I'll try it now on a fresh pupsave with ALSA.

Anybody want zynaddsubfx ?
http://www.puppylinux.asia/tpp/ttuuxxx/ ... 1-i386.pet

ZynAddSubFX is a powerful realtime, multi-timbral software synthesizer for Linux. It is microtonal, and the instruments made by it sounds like those from professional keyboards. The program has effects like Reverb, Echo, Chorus, Phaser...

You can find all the instruments in the /usr/share/zynaddsubfx folder, I think you have to manually set that part up, After that its a pretty amazing synthesizer :)

Thanks again tuuxxx !
I've been using ZynAddSubFX with Ubuntu studio and Musix, and it's a must for pupitup.
What are some of the features of the new alsa .pet ?
I'll install those two right away.

Hi,
my rig: toutoulinux4.1.2 frugal (french translation of Puppy4.1.2)
+ audacity 1.3.4beta from dotpup (all files and dependencies well installed)

I apologize if this post could seem a bit trivial and simplistic among Musician pups which I discovered (eh.. waow !) early this morning.

I 'd (just...!) like to record sounds just from the pc built-in-soundcard (i.e. simply without any audio input device connected to the pc rear panel connectors, nor usb or other).
Sounds files (.mp3, .wma, .midi, etc..files) get well played using gxine or Pmusic)
I ran Alsa configuration and got setup on the intel card. (I did not try setup on legacy or other).

Here is the code returned when doing aplay -l in a terminal: (I found this browsing on the murgalinux forum looking at posts about souncard).

Code: Select all

# aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: I82801DBICH4 [Intel 82801DB-ICH4], device 0: Intel ICH [Intel 82801DB-ICH4]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: I82801DBICH4 [Intel 82801DB-ICH4], device 4: Intel ICH - IEC958 [Intel 82801DB-ICH4 - IEC958]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
# 
I just understand it gives chracteristics of the built in soundcard of my PC.

Running then Audacity and pressing the red button (record) keep the blue straight line constantly quiet (= there is nothing recorded).

When starting audacity, in the edit/preferences/ i/o there is a /dev/dsp device already displayed. I do not know which device is /dev/dsp. There is not any other optional device there to select.

I wonder how to setup Audacity for getting sounds from the in built sound card.
Hereunder is a screenshot of alsa detected soundcards

Many thanks for any answer

Cheers
Charlie

for possible usefull info, here are some found links for Audacity

Try running alsa again and choose the "legacy" option, then post your results.

Hi,
thanks for reply!

Code: Select all

I did not find any matching card.
No change even if selecting "heneric" or other! I do not get the "bark" upon check (but I do on the intel recognized by Alsa).

I suspect ther is some setup to do somewhere to tell audacity where to find the input but I do not know how ( I am rether newbie with linux and sound matters).

thanks in adcvance for any answer!
Cheers
Charlie

OK - i took a better look at your post. I have had some trouble with getting Audacity running, but managed to do so -- here are ideas:

- check dependencies
- Download ttuuxxx's audacity 1.3.5 sfs file and use it -
- Look at this page for ideas -- there also a link at the bottom to Charni's sfs based on audacity 1.3.4 (i haven't tried his)
- also - i have needed some/all of these files in the past to install it:
  • jack-0.109.2pet
    jack_dev-0.109.2.pet
    libsamplerate-0.1.2.pet
    libvamp-1.0.pet
    lives-jack-0.9.8.7.pet
    soundtouch-1.5.pet
    twolame-0.3.12.pet
    wxgtk-2.8.7.pet
    wxGTK-2.8.9-unicode.pet
You may want to start by getting a copy of a puppy that has audacity built in already and seeing if that works with your system -- check out the Pupitup Music Lab or one of ttuuxxx's puplets.

post back---!

Hi, the link asks me for a username and password for puppylinux.asia and I don't have any and I can't register 'cause I can't access to puppylinux.asia home. What can I do?
Thanks!
