Some aspects of the program do not yet work, and many bugs remain. It has been tested on Linux 2.0.24 with a SoundBlaster compatible card running half-duplex only: If you manage to get it to run on other versions of Linux, or with other sound cards, please let us know and we'll compile a list of what works, and what doesn't. The purpose of this release is to test the Linux specific code: RAT v3.0.x for SunOS/Solaris/IRIX/Win32 will be made available in a few months, once a number of additional features have been implemented. Work is progressing on ports to HP-UX and FreeBSD, we will announce these at a later date.

I tried to play a midi file with the recently compiled playmidi and this is what it says: /dos/ultrasnd/midi/acpiano.pat: No such file or directory Can't load any melodic patches! I thought the GUS PnP has the patches on the 1MB ROM on the card itself so it doesn't need the DOS patch set as my DOS Partition got messed up by Win95 so I won't be able to install the patchset until I get my new replacement Hard Drive from Western Digital. So, is there anyway to play midi files on a PnP with the built in ROM instead? Thanks.

Oh, I have code which does not use the display and it crashes hard the system. I think that you are right about other traffic being on the bus affecting the Meteor. Most likely is when the Meteor attempts to generate a halt or similar operation to stop and then resume.

PCI device drivers have to assume that their interrupt handlers are called without actually needing service, and for that reason have to check the device's interrupt status register as soon as possible. A device that does not require service will return to a dispatcher loop (which has been registered as the interrupt handler) and that loop will apply the correct netmask (bio_mask, net_mask, ...) for each handler. This allows a network adapter and a SCSI card to share the same IRQ with no problems (and with no need to block out interrupts to unrelated devices for too long). The performance impact is very low (at most a few usecs per interrupt), if each driver really checks its interrupt status first. This code was written by Wolfgang Stanglmeier about one year ago and has been used with no (reported) problems on quite some systems, possibly without their owners knowing :) Regards, STefan From owner-freebsd-multimedia Mon Nov 4 12:53:59 1996 Return-Path: owner-multimedia Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id MAA27252 for multimedia-outgoing; Mon, 4 Nov 1996 12:53:59 -0800 (PST) Received: from rah.star-gate.com (rah.star-gate.com [204.188.121.18]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id MAA27247; Mon, 4 Nov 1996 12:53:57 -0800 (PST) Received: from rah.star-gate.com (localhost.star-gate.com [127.0.0.1]) by rah.star-gate.com (8.7.6/8.7.3) with ESMTP id MAA03717; Mon, 4 Nov 1996 12:52:40 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: <199611042052.MAA03717@rah.star-gate.com> X-Mailer: exmh version 1.6.9 8/22/96 To: Mark Tinguely cc: hackers@freebsd.org, jkh@time.cdrom.com, multimedia@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Matrox Meteor and PPRO problem found In-reply-to: Your message of "Mon, 04 Nov 1996 14:47:52 CST." <199611042047.OAA08712@plains.nodak.edu> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Mon, 04 Nov 1996 12:52:40 -0800 From: Amancio Hasty Sender: owner-multimedia@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I think that the problem is related to the SAA 7116 not handling properly one of the modes in PCI 2.0 at least thats the latest info bit that I just received from Philips.

Yeah, I know, boring, been done and all that, but what the hey. And I want to do it properly. Which means, I think, I need to flexible. If I wanted to present people with a page from which they could - Choose to kick off nv to receive live video over the MBone - Or run CUSeeMe locally to get the same - Allow browsers to download the last minute's worth of video as an MPEG - Or get server pushed JPEGs (with appropriate options to set size, # colours, compression rate and so on) what would be the kit of choice for the discerning PC owner with a copy of FreeBSD and some money to burn? After poking around the web, the Matrox Meteor pops up in discussion a lot. I like the look of this card, but I notice from the specs at Matrox that it doesn't do on card MPEG compression, which would be handy if I was planning on doing MPEG in real time. . . I also note that I should avoid PPro systems with the Orion chipset, because of PCI bus speed problems. Any comments for an aspiring broadcaster?

With the sb0 device compiled into the kernel I get sb0 at 0x220 irq 7 drq 1 on isa sb0: which agrees with the values I configured from DOS. If I try to 'cat speech.wav > /dev/dsp' the loudspeaker clicks once and then nothing else happens. I have a SB 16 card on another machine which works OK so perhaps there is a simple reason why the SB Pro compatible doesn't work.

Dunno. Try using socks and piping the output through it, generaing au output, and put it into /dev/audio.

It really spans the whole spectrum of solutions . For instance a TSR which intercepts the calls and translates the call to appropiate native sound card instructions. Or initialized a given sound card with a specific sequence to activate the soundblaster emulation . Soundblaster playback only but no recording --- don't laugh my audiotrix pro does just that.

Xing is supposedly fixing that they time out too quickly on multicast sessions and the grafting process is on the slow side depending on your multicast routing gear. If you want to kludge around this, just put a host joining to the group (224.42.42.2) and start streamwk a little later. Another note is that the KissFM is originated from an aggregate so if you have any pre-3.5 mrouteds on your path, your packets will get blackholed. Doing an mtrace to the source would help to figure this out. >> I=B4d like to hear from the reception quality or have mtraces in case the >> quality is poor. > >The quality of KFM is incredible :) > Thanks!
