OvenWerksEickmeyer: don't have to answer right now... With respect to -controls, COPYING in the root directory is GPL2 but the debian/copyright file says gpl2+05:10
OvenWerksteward: always feel free to ignor us for the next day05:10
OvenWerksEickmeyer: which one is right? Or are they both? where one is just the text of gpl2 but gpl2+ is valid?05:11
OvenWerksEickmeyer: I am asking because I was going to include the files from https://github.com/jhernberg/udev-rtirq but I am noticing that it is gpl2.0 with no reference to later versions I can see05:13
OvenWerksEickmeyer: the headers in the files say gpl2 +05:13
EickmeyerOvenWerks: They're both valid. GPL2+ literally means GPL2.0, GPL2.1, etc.15:23
EickmeyerIf you include udev-rtirq, whatever is added needs to be a separate copyright stanza in debian/copyright.15:25
EickmeyerThat doesn't have to be put into /COPYING.15:25
EickmeyerSo, let me worry about that. :)15:25
OvenWerksYes the original author needs to be credited for those files15:26
OvenWerksI haven't talked to him for a while so I can't remember if it grabs the internal audio as well on boot (I think so)15:28
OvenWerksEickmeyer: also, you wanted to be able to set dummy channel quanity. Does that need to be different for playback/capture? or can they be the same? (one setting or two?)15:31
EickmeyerOvenWerks: If you can make it different, that would be preferable.15:32
EickmeyerIf that's too hard, separate would be fine.15:32
OvenWerksEickmeyer: any particular limit?15:33
OvenWerks10 channels? 32? 128?15:34
OvenWerksI guess 8 covers any surround standard15:35
Eickmeyer128 should be a hard limit. Is this going to be a manual input variable or are we looking at a menu?15:35
EickmeyerI'm thinking mixers, not necessarily direct output.15:35
EickmeyerRoundtripping channels.15:35
OvenWerksdummy outputs go to /dev/null effectively15:36
OvenWerksI'm not sure what you mean.15:36
OvenWerkswhat audio path do you envision?15:36
OvenWerkswith dummy my limited imagination goes pulse->jack playback and vice vesa15:37
EickmeyerYes, I understand that, but my usecase is setting stuff up before going live. For instance, I'd have dummy set-up 32 channels, then later on, plug via USB to a 32-channel mixer which gives access to all 32 in/outs.15:38
OvenWerksAh, that makes sense15:39
OvenWerksI was going to use spinboxes15:39
EickmeyerMost people would use dummy to pre-stage.15:39
OvenWerksshould Istart at 1 ch or 2? everything else in here expects 2, but I think connecting pulse right to a non-existant playback_2 would just fail and not crash because it is an external program15:41
OvenWerksMy one channel USB mic is ok.15:42
EickmeyerI'd start at 1ch.15:47
OvenWerksInteresting: both alsa and dummy can have channel count, but they both use different command line flags :)15:48
OvenWerksSo an alsa device can use fewer than all of it's channels.15:49
OvenWerksunfortunately, I would want 1,2,3,4,9,10 :P15:50
OvenWerksnetone uses the same as alsa for channels.15:50
OvenWerksAnyway, it looks like we can set channel numbers for everything. I notice my man page does not mention firewire backend15:59
EickmeyerCool.16:02
