Hi Mark. This is the second time that you've prompted me to try Aqualung. I
think you must have some vested interest in it (only joking). Thanks for the
link this time. I think I put it off last time, not wishing to Google and get
page after page of skindiving equipment or links to Jethro Tull. Anyway I
DL'd the tar.gz, then read the compile info. Darn! It needs gtk+2.0 , and FC2
only has gtk+-1.2.10-29.1.1. Same problem here as with Sineshaper and Om.
Back to FC2 I looked around in synaptic and saw the xmms mp3 plugin was
there, tried it and it worked. A bit strange, because the first time I tried
to install this it would not work. Perhaps libmad was missing at the time. So
I can play mp3's without frying the cpu with Mplayer, but it would obviously
be better if more up to date files like gtk+ 2.0 were available for Fedora.
Perhaps I'll try Aqualung on Debian, as there are Deb packages available for
it. Not sure which way to go getting it installed on Gentoo (your favorite).
BTW. Hows it going with the VSTi's with Savihost and Wine? I've just DL'd
MrRay73, a Rhodes piano that I saw a link to on the list, and that works ok
with Savihost, but still terrible latency problems from the Evolution MK-225C
usb midi keyboard. A bit like playing a pipe organ. Press the key, and then
sit back and wait for the sound.
All the best. Nigel.
