January 07, 2011, at 11:44 PM by Jonathan Woithe - Add abstract for Silvia's talk
Added lines 65-67:

Audio and video processing have traditionally been hard number-crunching tasks to do and nobody would have considered executing them in a Web browser on a remote file. However, with the capabilities of modern hardware and web browser software, and the integration of audio and video into HTML5, it's now possible to do (almost) everything inside a web browser in real-time with a bit of JavaScript. In this talk we will look at the Firefox Audio API to visualize sound with an FFT and to manipulate sound. For video we look at the possibilities of the Canvas to manipulate video pixels in real-time to achieve things like motion detection.

!!!FFADO update

Speaker: Jonathan Woithe

Time: 14:00

The [[http://www.ffado.org|FFADO project]] implements a vendor-independent driver framework for firewire audio devices.  The past 12 months has been a period of consolidation for FFADO with the bugfix release 2.0.1 being the most visible activity.  However, over this time considerable work has been done behind the scenes, with a number of new drivers approaching readiness for wider testing.  In addition there have been discussions about the project's next steps.

This brief update will outline the practical benefits of the current progress in several drivers and then move on to a discussion about the next stage of FFADO development.  In particular, the recently refined plans for an in-kernel streaming engine will be shared which, it is hoped, will lead to considerable efficiencies within the FFADO system and broaden access to the FFADO devices.

!!!Adventures in Real Time Audio

Speaker: Roderick Dornan

Time: 13:30

Setting up a workable real-time system is important if one wishes to use Linux for live audio work without audio dropouts.  This talk will discuss the author's experiences in configuring such a system and give attendees plenty of tips to apply to their own machines.

!!!Making music with Linux

Speaker: Roderick Dornan

Time: 14:30

This tutorial-style presentation will give a practical demonstration of the vast array of open-source tools we have at our disposal to make music.  The focus of this talk will be live music making, but many of the processes are just as applicable to composition and other "off-line" tasks.
