Next post series: Analyzing Aeolus Pipe organ synthesizer

In the next blog post i'll be posting my findings about Fons Adriaensen's Aeolus Pipe Organ synthesizer. I'll will try to explain to myself and the internet, the entire process of generating convincing pipe organ sounds.

The first batch of information is something that seems easy but it's not that way: Where is the last release of Aeolus located? Here (It requires some other libraries, like The stops, zita-alsa-pcmi-0.2.0.tar.bz2, clthreads-2.4.0.tar.bz2 and clxclient-3.9.0.tar.bz2)

The last release, 0.9.0, is pretty recent, and from the README, the changelog is:

AEOLUS 0.9.0   RELEASE NOTES   30/06/2013
============================

Maintenance release.

* Replaced libalsadrv by libzita-alsa-pcmi
* Changed license to GPL3

Next I'll be taking notes about Aeolus general architecture.

Unofficial Vatican TV Player for Linux: How to see the last days of BXVI as Pontiff in Linux

Given the important events happening today on the Vatican State, and the difficulty of watching the Vatican player on Linux (Silverlight version not compatible with moonlight), I'm building a simpler version that runs on a somewhat standard Linux distribution (Requires Moonlight and possibly the media codecs).

See how to install Moonlight

Right now it only plays the live signal of the CTV(You have to press play twice, seeing the pause symbol on the play button), but I plan to add the archives as well. Please let me know of any inconveniences, or if a better solution exists.
