MusE-0.7 will be included in the distro as soon as that, yes. I have had some problems with the 0.6.x releases of MusE under AGNULA, so Mark's problems may not all be due to lack of understanding. > Pretty sure the fine folks at Agnula have the mixer volumes up by default, > but you may want to check on that if you haven't. > Synth software is outputting PCM streams either to /dev/dsp or to jack > ports, for the latter case you may have to connect the ports "by hand" Volumes are up by default only in the latest release candidates of A/DeMuDi-1.2.0. This is actually an FAQ and most of the answers can be found here: http://wiki.agnula.org http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/reference.en.html http://www.agnula.org/download/demudi/1.2.0-FAQ http://www.agnula.org/documentation/FAQ/ http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/index.html http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/ http://kreiger.linuxgods.com/kiki/?linux+sound-permissions http://www.togaware.com/linux/survivor/index.shtml check that /dev/dsp* /dev/mixer* belong to the right (audio) group, they don't by default - also check that _you_ do, the latter is set by default. I've been considering starting an AGNULA config wiki page, but have not done so yet because it represents a considerable duplication of info, however, repeated questions like this make me think that there _is_ a need. Mark, please let me know what remains unclear. The best place for this conversation would really be users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or even directly through http://wiki.agnula.org - I shall start a config page there in the next few days. cheers tim hall
