I have been working on some ideas with David Leeming who as supplied me with an XO machine while I try to work some things out on it. We are looking at the potential for using Audacity as a tool to help enable and create content for community radio stations. The idea being that the XO can be used to record audio an then send low latency audio code to the radio hub as oggs or mp3s. I have installed audacity using yum install audacity It is no problem for me to run "audacity' from the command line, however I am aware that OLPC developers are trying to keep the sugar gui. I have been also trying to find the lame libraries to enble the mp3 export function, but have limited success adjusting the /etc/yum.repos.d or /etc/yum.conf files. I think I need to access the ubuntu multiverse? I have no problem working in .ogg format but I am not sure if everyone feels that way? I would be interested in using the 'sugarize' script that you wrote to give audacity 'activity' status, with icon, and journal compatability. Would you be able to discuss with me how to sugarize audacity, or walk me through your script? Audacity has options for saving files; the "save" function creates a file that only audacity can read (aup). Mp3/Wav/Au/Ogg require "export". Perhaps the *aup file would be useful for journal use, eg. by chmod -x ( asigning it executble status have it run audacity from journal? ) I have also been looking at introducing new insruments to the tamtam suites, ethnic instruments based on the local instruments of the XO distributions, eg Panpipes on Tamtam for computers in the Solomon Islands? Can you suggest a way to implement this?
