ANNOUNCE: asound - Ada sound environment

ANNOUNCE: asound - Ada sound environment

[Adrian Knoth]

Hi,

I'm glad to release the first version of asound, the generic
Ada environment for audio-related tasks.

The idea of asound arose some years ago and perhaps Preben Randhol
did something on his own, I don't know...

Currently, asound isn't a generic audio library at all, but it
could be one ;)

The original intention was to write a binding to Ogg/Vorbis
and Preben proposed to start with libao. I haven't thought
about it for years, but last week I decided to implement it.

Actually asound is only a binding to libao, and not even a
complete one. It can play samples and this is more than I need,
because I don't need it ;)

Perhaps someone is interested in extending it. I do not think
that I'll have the time for great improvements within the
next N*six months, so whoever wants to go on coding, please do it ;)

You can download it here: http://adi.thur.de/?show=asound

Hmm, it's working. Perhaps your advertisement-filter rejects
hostnames with ad*? Do you reach <http://adi.thur.de>?

That's great. This is the website from stella . loris.tv (217.89.68.42),
but adi.thur.de is

adi@drcomp:~$ host adi.thur.de
adi.thur.de is an alias for ltw.loris.tv.
ltw.loris.tv has address 217.160.108.140

I don't know which NS-Server returns the wrong IP, but I know
that a friend also had this problem under OSX (ssh ltw returned
stella-hostkey).

adi@drcomp:~$ host -t ns loris.tv
loris.tv name server stella.loris.tv.
loris.tv name server ltw.loris.tv.

adi@drcomp:~$ host ltw.loris.tv 217.89.68.42
Using domain server:
Name: 217.89.68.42
Address: 217.89.68.42#53
ltw.loris.tv has address 217.160.108.140

adi@drcomp:~$ host ltw.loris.tv 217.160.108.140
Using domain server:
Name: 217.160.108.140
Address: 217.160.108.140#53
ltw.loris.tv has address 217.160.108.140

adi@drcomp:~$ host ltw.loris.tv ltw.loris.tv
Using domain server:
Name: ltw.loris.tv
Address: 2001:6f8:900:445::2#53
ltw.loris.tv has address 217.160.108.140

Does someone know what's wrong?

Please consider a different name: asound usually means "ALSA sound
system", e.g. on Debian:

libasound2 - ALSA library
libasound2-dev - ALSA library development files
libasound2-doc - ALSA library developer documentation
libasound2-plugins - ALSA library plugins

However, looking at the webpage, your project doesn't even support
ALSA. This is very confusing, IMHO.

What about "adasound"?

It doesn't come along with a native binding to ALSA, though it
supports ALSA via libao (I believe so, because libao claims
ALSA-support).

The root-NS from .tv correctly returned ltw and gta as NS, but
the pointer for ltw was wrong (pointing to stella). I guess
instead of asking the DNS on this IP for the A-Record of ltw,
some systems (Windows, OSX) used the cached entry for ltw
which contained the wrong IP (actually stella). That's why
A-lookups on ltw, stella and gta have returned the right
IP for ltw, but not every client really asks the last NS
to get the IP.
