So far I've only played with Jamin by feeding it with Alsaplayer. Today I tried for the first time to use it on real work. I have 3 songs I've exported from ardour (0.99) in float 44.1kHz wav files. These files seem to be OK - I can load them into Audacity, play them with sox, etc. But my first thought - re-import the mixes into a new Ardour session, put them in sequence, and hook it up to Jack - failed with the problem I describe here: http://ardour.org/mantis/view.php?id=1167 So, I thought, I'll just play them with alsaplayer -o jack. I have alsaplayer version 0.99.76. But when I do, alsaplayer loads the files without complaint (well, mostly; there's some messages like "short_mask = 0x6" on stdout...) ... the UI indicates that it's playing, and it says "sndfile supported format" -- but the output is silent! Could it be a problem with routing or mixer controls? Nope, I can hear any other file I load, but not these mixes. Weird. Hey, I know, I'll use Audacity! .... except... it doesn't support jack? Aargh. (version 1.2.1) Any other suggestions? I guess i could route my session directly from ardour through jamin but I dooubt my old P3 can handle the load, I'm kinda pushing the CPU as it is... -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com
