=== Mat91 is now known as Sax
SaxHi, I suggest to make a repository with (half)professional media software only and throw out the kiddy stuff. For audio you need rosegarden, ubstudio is the only distribution with the old version 18. For video you need kdenlive and cinelerra, not more. If you want to install software you have first to install the installer, costs me half an hour to09:59
Sax find out how to do, for this I got libreoffice, the last thing I need in a media distri. The distri is over 2GByte and includes a lot of old stuff that must first be updated. I suggest to make a minimal system. Thanks in advance09:59
EickmeyerThat was rude.16:10
OvenWerksEickmeyer: no worries16:10
OvenWerksit is either why isn't this application included or why all this stuff16:11
EickmeyerForgetting the fact that the Ubiquity plugin lets you pick and choose what to install.16:11
OvenWerksEickmeyer: it sounds like they were using installer16:12
EickmeyerI didn't read that into it. Looked like (with the libreoffice implcation) that they were using the ISO.16:13
EickmeyerBut, you could be right. Thing is the "installer" could also mean Ubiquity.16:14
OvenWerksHe complains about having to install the installer and taking a half hour16:15
OvenWerksAnyway people with ideas and no help or discusion are not helpful16:16
EickmeyerExactly.16:16
OvenWerksthe old my way or the highway.... 16:16
EickmeyerThis goes under E:Wishlist/WontFix16:16
OvenWerksno bug doesn't need that even :)16:18
studiobot<teward001> *Wishlist/Invalid*  *shot*16:18
studiobot<teward001> :P16:18
OvenWerksThough adding the ability to choose within metas is on the roadmap... wasn't there someone who wanted to do some programing?16:19
EickmeyerYes. cjoke?16:19
Eickmeyer@teward001: Indeed.16:20
* OvenWerks is dyslexic and has trouble with remebering such thngs16:20
OvenWerksbut I would welcome someone taking that project over and converting to python as well as adding that functionality16:21
EickmeyerAh, it was dianmos, who isn't here right now.16:23
EickmeyerI suppose I could throw it in a blog post and see who bites.16:23
OvenWerksor even the mail list16:48
cjokeEickmeyer: < Eickmeyer> FYI: I'm going to be out of town this week on a vacation. I might be available, but not as much as usual.18:26
cjoke=)18:27
Eickmeyercjoke: 1) I can still check-in from time-to-time, and 2) I'm a volunteer just like everyone else; this isn't my real job.18:49
OvenWerksEickmeyer: my first (of three) cheap (under $3) usb audio devices. It is the top of the range at $3something with shipping included20:26
OvenWerksit has mutes and levels built in20:26
OvenWerksit can pretend to be up to 7.1 which it would convert to stereo (somehow)20:27
EickmeyerOh, cool. I just got a $23 behringer XLR2USB device, which can only do 44.1k or 48k, but it's just like a lot of other devices people have been having issues with, but it works perfectly in my testing.20:28
OvenWerksMy hope was that it would be single sample rate that I could play with but it has both 44k1 and 48k so no luck there20:28
OvenWerksSo I will wait for the two under 1$ devices I ordered and hope one of them is worse :)20:29
OvenWerksOh and now there is a dog leash that can recharge your phone....20:31
OvenWerksmy new USB audio if has the insiring name of "Device"20:32
OvenWerksI guess that is only slightly worse than my ART DualTubePree which is called "CODEC"20:39
OvenWerksEickmeyer: I guess that you do not have access to the XLR2USB device while on vacation?20:40
EickmeyerOvenWerks: I do have it. It's form factor is that of a cable.20:40
EickmeyerIt uses a C-Media chipset.20:41
OvenWerkscould yu check in /proc/asound/<device>/stream0 to see what it says? maybe pastebinit?20:42
EickmeyerSure, hang on...20:42
OvenWerksprobably cat /proc/asound/card*/stream* |pastebinit20:44
OvenWerksit seems the stream0 file is unique to USB cards20:45
Eickmeyerhttps://paste.ubuntu.com/p/fGbwDX93Kc/20:48
OvenWerksthanks20:48
OvenWerksidentical to this one20:48
EickmeyerProbably. C-Media is a cheap chipset.20:49
OvenWerksI was thinking I could use that file to find out what sample rates a device uses, but I have now realized that I use the zita-ajbridge code for internal devices too which do not have that file.20:52
OvenWerksonce the device is in use, there are other files that give SR but I need that info before I connect20:53
cjokeEickmeyer: duh, I think you did miss my intentions, I just granted you happy holliday, nothing else, soz. <323:17
cjokeIm just straight forward, no fear kinda guy, old man in fact :) 23:19
