Avec toute l’équipe d’Autres(M)Ondes, nous réalisons ce soir une radio éphémère consacrée à Amazigh Kateb et son nouvel album Marchez Noir. Au programme, direct à partir du 18h depuis notre bar préféré : le Babel à Ménilmontant.
Une soirée bien sympathique que vous pourrez suivre sur le net en Ogg/Vorbis. Pour ceux qui sont dans le quartier, n’hésitez pas. Et si les logiciels libres vous intéressent dans le monde de la radio, venez nous dire bonjour 
1. First email
On 18 August 2004 (01:24 AM) my first mail to Fred Gleason, my first mail about Rivendell :
After your email last evening, I downloaded the Rivendell source files and started my tests.
I didn’t experience serious problems to compile libradio and rivendell tools. I can send you some of my notes about it (a bad version of gpio.h into libradio, etc ..). Rivendell was installed successfull yesterday evening (it was late). I configured mysql and continued the test this evening. Few small
problems, no serious ones. Some of the error messages don’t give enough information. But with the sources .. and strace, I found the solutions (/var/snd is harcoded into rdlibrary for instance .. and I believed it was read in to rd.conf. I can send you my notes.
The jack support seems to work fine .. but rdlibrary stays silenced and rdairplay crashs at start (I’ve got the gdb trace if you want). I suppose that I have a configuration problem with the internal card/port settings (audio port ?). I didn’t find into rdadmin menus to edit the audio ports (like the
website screenshot). I found related sources (something about matrixes, etc ..). What can be the solution ?
I noted that the sound formats are wav and mp3 .. we work with flac and ogg (but the music library is still mostly in mp3). I looked quickly the code about the audio format (RWaveFile, rdimport, etc ..). But I didn’t find a TODO or planned features in the web site. Do you think about a flac and ogg support ?
Rivendell seems to be a nice application. It’s a great work. What’s its story ? Did you find contributors since the license change ? I didn’t find details of the development activities (cvs repository, mailing-lists, etc ..).
Thanks so much for your work.

Nous étions, avec Florent, à quelques kilomètres de Millau pour “animer” un week-end de travail autour du déploiement de Rivendell (le logiciel de gestion d’antenne) chez Radio Larzac. Ne nous étendons pas sur l’accueil parfait et la terrible équipe de la radio, parlons boulot. Le menu était le suivant :
Une dizaine de personnes de Radio Larzac, Radio Sainte Affrique ou encore Divergence FM ont participé à ces 3 jours.
Tous les supports des présentations sont (comme d’habitude) disponibles :
Rivendell 1.5.1 has been released this week, Debian and Ubuntu packages have been updated this week-end.
The sox-12 package is no longer required and the access to /usr/share/rivendell has been fixed (a problem to read qt translation files for example).
