Alsa, surround and CA0106

Posted by on March 21st, 2008 4 comments

This is more a remain­der for me: in order to make the sur­round work for mp3s with the CA0106 driver with alsa (for me it’s a Sound Blaster Live! 24 bit), here’s the .asoundrc that should be used:

pcm.!dmix {
   type plug
   slave {
       pcm surround51
       channels 6
   }
}
pcm.!default {
   type plug
   slave.pcm "dmix"
   slave.channels 6
   route_policy duplicate
}

Another LinuxDay is gone

And even this year, the Lin­ux­Day is gone. This year we attracted more than 400 people and, as the other years, it has been an amaz­ing expe­ri­ence!
So, thanks to all the vis­i­tors, to the LUG­Bari and to every­one else has con­tributed to make yes­ter­day a great day.

Addi­tion­ally, I pub­lished the slides of my yesterday’s pre­sen­ta­tion. If you’re inter­ested, you can freely down­load them, but please note that they’re writ­ten in ital­ian. You can found the PyGTK talk’s slides here, while the PyClutter’s slides can be found here (sources here and here).

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go home and have a heart attack

The LinuxDay 2007It’s 2007. And it’s Octo­ber. And there’s the Lin­ux­Day this year too.
For those who doesn’t know, the Lin­ux­Day is a day where every LUG pro­mote Linux and the free soft­ware phi­los­o­phy to every­one who’s interested.

Last year I had a talk about Inkscape and the vec­to­r­ial graphic; this year, instead, I’ll hold two talks: an intro­duc­tion to PyGTK and an intro­duc­tion to PyClutter.

So, if you don’t have any­thing to do on Octo­ber 27th and you live near Bari, why don’t you join us in the LinuxDay?
