Re: [gentoo-user] Using Gentoo for Sound Recording

[Mark Knecht]

Tim,
   I see you've gotten other responses which is great. My input would
be that we should try to get jack going on your system whether you end
up using it or not. I hope you do as it's the only way I know of to
record audio and be assured you got every sample.

   Can you post back what versions you are trying to build?

lightning ~ # emerge -pv jack-audio-connection-kit qjackctl

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] media-sound/jack-audio-connection-kit-0.100.7  +alsa
(-altivec) -caps (-coreaudio) -debug -doc +jack-tmpfs (-mmx) -oss
-portaudio +sndfile (-sse) 0 kB
[ebuild   R   ] media-sound/qjackctl-0.2.17  0 kB

Total size of downloads: 0 kB
lightning ~ #

   Also, post back the results of these two commands.

emerge info
eix -I qt

Cheers,
Mark
