LMMS
by Fermin Molina
Hi all,
Any plan to include in fedora or in planetccrma this great app?
I think that LMMS is a great music production app:

about the Fedora Studio idea
by Orcan Ogetbil
I had posted on fedora-devel mailing list about this idea a while ago,
but the discussion didn't last long:
http://www.linux-archive.org/fedora-development/266281-adding-new-group-d...
In short, currently all our audio/video players/editors are cluttering
the Multimedia group of the desktop menu. Since players and editors
are very different in nature and Audio/Video creation software have
their own target audience, I am proposing to list them under a
different group in the desktop menu. This way both type of
applications will become more accessible.
I am primarily interested in Audio Creation software and currently we
have enough packages to have our own group:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/AudioCreation
To achieve this we will need to modify the desktop files of our
packages to add some category which will be picked up by the menu
applets and place them in the Audio Creation group.
I am planning to make a new feature draft page on Fedora wiki in the
near future and present it to FESCo so that we can have a Fedora
Studio by F-12. There are a few choices we need to make along the way:
- Should we include Video creation applications in this group too?
- What shall we call the group in the menu? Studio, Audio Creation,
A/V Creation...?
- What desktop file category(ies) shall we use? The standard
categories we can use are Midi, Mixer, Sequencer, Tuner,
AudioVideoEditing. We can also use some artificial category such as
X-Studio, X-AudioCreation, ... Note that when a desktop file contains
AudioVideo the application goes to the Multimedia group.
Who would want to participate in this project? Please share your
comments, opinions, ...

Sounds good to me, I don't even know what PulseAudio does other than it
kept Rhythmbox from working when I first installed Fedora 10 on a
computer. But what dependencies will I be breaking? Last time that I did
that, I also found like a dozen or so other applications that depended
on PulseAudio that my RPM database apparently didn't know about.
I'll give it a shot!
Thanks,

I have no idea what you are talking about, and I didn't change anything
having to do with "reply-to" settings. I use Gmane to for all of my
lists, so everything I send to a Gmane newsgroup gets sent to all
mailing list members no matter what.
http://gmane.org/
I have been sending all of my replies to both the Planet CCRMA "list"
and the Fedora Music "list" (via Gmane) in order to get input from all
thinkers on the subject. If you missed a message, then you aren't
subscribed to both lists. However, I still quote what was said, so you
should be able to get the point. If you choose not to reply to both
lists when you respond to one of my messages, that is your choice.
Personally, I hate mailing lists, and I think it makes a lot more sense
to put this stuff on newsgroups, especially high-volume things like the
general Fedora list, rather than pumping up one's inbox (especially when
that inbox has a quota) with messages of which 25-95% of which I don't
read, depending on the list.
Peace,

Mixer Wowes
by William M. Quarles
Hey all,
I have Fedora 10 and a machine with a (please, no laughing or
snickering) Creative Labs Sound Blaster AWE 64 Value sound card and a
Sigma Designs RealMagic Hollywood Plus DVD decoder card. While the
computer loads the ALSA drivers needed for both cards, the sound
controls in GNOME only display the Hollywood+ controls, and nothing is
available for the AWE 64. I have used the AWE 64 successfully in another
computer before that already had another sound card in it, so I don't
know what the deal is here.
Help. Please?
Peace,
William
