I'll add the ccrma repos if I bump into something that I want from there.

I will not give up pulseaudio on my work PC, but I guess that in the end I will need a dedicated PC for music. Currently I have pulseaudio running with my USB headset as default output since jack doesn't see it yet. Jack then gets the soundcard. Both seem happy :-) > * Look at /usr/share/doc/jack-audio-connection-kit-0.118.0/README.Fedora Will have a look. :-) > * For tuxguitar, please try the version from updates-testing. Will definitely do. I tried getting it connected to jack, but it didn't seem to react to anything I did in qjackctl so I guess it was still talking to some other driver. > * qjackctl and qsynth are your friends.

In the meantime, I'll just wish everybody here a merry christmas. _______________________________________________ Fedora-music-list mailing list Fedora-music-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-music-list
