* MengXingHun is away: ^^^今天玩Linux游戏,暂不接客^^^^.....01:10
edakiriHow can I create PNGs with both transparency ("alpha (A)" channel) and colors stored where it is completely transparent?  How can I view such an image and see its transparency and the color where it is transparent?07:08
edakirior what software is capable of that?07:10
holsteinhey edakiri07:11
* holstein is an audio guy07:12
holsteinthe Gimp doesnt do it for you?07:12
edakirias far as I know, it can not view them, so I can also not know whether they are made correctly.  Where it is completely transparent, it shows only the transparency not the color.07:16
edakiriMaybe there is a conversion I could do with GIMP, but I do not know it.07:16
holsteinedakiri: i would think you would need to use GIMP's file format to get started07:28
holsteinthen export to png or whatever07:28
edakiriholstein: Then if I only have the PNG, how can I see the colors again in the transparent areas?07:54
holsteini know there are some graphics guys that come in here from time to time07:55
edakiriIt is possible with PNG to have a pixel fully transparent and yet with full color information, but how do I see it?07:55
holsteini think you might want to ask in a gimp channel07:55
edakirigood idea07:55
holsteini mostly just resize a jpeg here and there07:55
lenzhail folks!!09:13
lenzpls help09:14
lenzi use m-audio audiophile 192 soundcard09:15
lenzbut can't adjust the volumes of capture, can't hear sound from capture09:15
lenzpls advise something09:17
edakirilenz: you must find out what drivers you should use. most people use ALSA there is also OSS.  see whether the driver is loaded with lsmod. look in the kernel messages for messages from the driver.  you can use dmesg for that09:22
edakiri#ALSA and #OSS exist09:23
lenzyep, i hawe both installed09:24
lenzalsa and oss09:25
lenz#alsa is dead09:25
lenzeveryone sleepeng there09:25
lenzsnd_ice1724            95837  609:26
lenzsnd_ice17xx_ak4xxx      2547  1 snd_ice172409:26
edakirilenz: output is working?09:31
edakiridoes m-audio advertise linux support?09:32
lenzyep, i hear sound09:33
lenzand it records my guitar09:33
lenzbut in alsa mixer i cant adjust volume of capture09:34
lenzonly pcm volume can adjust09:34
lenz-audiu is only for win and mac :(09:35
lenzno official linux support09:35
edakirilook in the linux documentation for sysctl parameters to the driver09:41
edakirimaybe you can select channels for alsa.  different boards use different features of the chip.  sometimes not all features of a chip are used09:42
edakiriby the board09:42
