Don't forget the weekly ALUG chat on eu.openprojects.net port 8001 tomorrow Mon 18 at 8:00pm. Very poor turnout last week so the chat didn't really get off the ground. Possible topics this week; the web site (again), next meeting, promotion of the group etc. Cheers, BJ

Book Bonanza
by Andrew Savory 12 Sep '00

12 Sep '00

Ok, perhaps an exaggeration, but I've just received a mammoth tome, "Linux IP Stacks Commentary" as a free gift from CoriolisOpen Press. It's basically 500 pages of IP stack code printed out, with another 200 of discussion at the back. The discussion seems to be quite interesting and entertaining, but the whole thing is based around 2.0.36. I don't know how much the IP stack has changed since then, but there is no mention of IPv6, for example. Anyway.... the book is here, if you're interested in reading it, let me know before the next ALUG and I'll make sure it's there. If you want more info on Coriolis books, see www.coriolis.com .

Hi, Personally, I'd go for one of the major distributions to start with.. RedHat Debian SuSe These distributions can be downloaded. I've always used commercially-produced CDs (ie Boxed) to do installs.

I had a similar problem when originally using an ALSA driver (from www.alsa-project.org) but the files were actually only the 44 byte WAV headers. How big are your files? Have you started a mixer and selected the microphone as the capture source? And the recording volume is up? Can you record from any other sources your card may have (eg line in)? -- MJR

Could anyone help with a sound recording problem?
by Barry Samuels 10 Sep '00

10 Sep '00

I am running Debian 2.2, kernel 2.2.17pre6 and a SoundBlaster Live using the Creative/Emu module. Try as I might I cannot record anything! When I say I cannot record I mean that, although I can create a file by using something like Gramofile, Sound-recorder or KRecord, when it is played back it produces silence (not a scientifically accurate statement)! If I boot the machine into Windows 95 (shudder!!!) I can record and playback successfully and I can play the recorded .wav file back using Linux. The recorded file produced by Linux also produces silence under windows. I have tried recording as a user and as root - no difference. /dev/dsp has rw permission for owner and group. Anyone want a recording of silence? Barry Samuels
