Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &alsa-tools-md5sum; Download size: &alsa-tools-size; Estimated disk space required: &alsa-tools-buildsize; Estimated build time: &alsa-tools-time; (to build echomixer, envy24control and rmedigicontrol) and FLTK (to build hdspconf and hdspmixer) The as10k1 program needs a minor change to the source code to compile using GCC-3.4.x. The following sed command fixes the problem: sed -i -e "s/^next_cli_arg:/&\n\n\tbreak;/" as10k1/as10k1.c The ALSA Tools package is only needed by those with advanced requirements for their sound card. The tools are not all built together, instead you need to cd into the directory of each tool you wish to compile and run the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr && make Now, as the root user: make install Installed Programs Installed Libraries Installed Directory ac3dec, extract_ac3, as10k1, echomixer, envy24control, hdspconf, hdsploader, hdspmixer, mixartloader, pcxhrloader, rmedigicontrol, cspctl, sbiload, sscape_ctl, us428control, usx2yloader and vxloader None /usr/share/applications, /usr/share/pixmaps and /usr/share/sounds Short Descriptions ac3dec is a free AC-3 stream decoder. ac3dec extract_ac3 will take an MPEG-2 stream and produce AC-3 audio to stdout if it exists. extract_ac3 as10k1 is an assembler for the emu10k1 DSP chip present in the Creative SB Live, PCI 512, and emu APS sound cards. It is used to make audio effects such as a flanger, chorus or reverb. as10k1 echomixer is the Linux equivalent of the Echoaudio console application from Echoaudio. It is a tool to control all the features of any Echoaudio soundcard. This includes clock sources, input and output gains, mixers, etc. echomixer envy24control is a control tool for Envy24 (ice1712) based sound cards. envy24control hdspconf is a GUI to control the Hammerfall HDSP Alsa Settings. Up to four hdsp cards are supported. hdspconf hdsploader is used to load the firmware required by the Hammerfall HDSP sound cards. hdsploader hdspmixer is the Linux equivalent of the Totalmix application from RME. It is a tool to control the advanced routing features of the RME Hammerfall DSP soundcard series. hdspmixer mixartloader is a helper program to load the firmware binaries onto the Digigram's miXart board sound drivers. The following modules require this program: snd-mixart. These drivers don't work properly at all until the certain firmwares are loaded, i.e. no PCM nor mixer devices will appear. mixartloader pcxhrloader is a helper program to load the firmware binaries onto Digigram's pcxhr compatible board sound drivers. The following modules require this program: snd-pcxhr. These drivers don't work properly at all until the certain firmwares are loaded, i.e. no PCM nor mixer devices will appear. pcxhrloader rmedigicontrol is a control tool for RME Digi32 and RME Digi96 sound cards. It provides a graphical frontend for all the sound card controls and switches. rmedigicontrol cspctl is an SB16/AWE32 Creative Signal Processor (ASP/CSP) control program. cspctl sbiload is an OPL2/3 FM instrument loader for the ALSA sequencer. sbiload sscape_ctl is an ALSA SoundScape control utility. sscape_ctl us428control is a Tascam US-428 control program. us428control usx2yloader is a helper program to load the 2nd Phase firmware binaries onto the Tascam USX2Y USB sound cards. It has proven to work so far for the US122, US224 and US428. The snd-usb-usx2y module requires this program. usx2yloader vxloader is a helper program to load the firmware binaries onto the Digigram's VX-board sound drivers. The following modules require this program: snd-vx222, snd-vxpocket, snd-vxp440. These drivers don't work properly at all until the certain firmwares are loaded, i.e. no PCM nor mixer devices will appear. vxloader
