*** jhb has joined #maemo09:58
Macermine is pretty good too other than a few minor sliding into the pocket scratches on the screen09:59
Maceryou would have to really look for them tho09:59
Macerbut i still want a good as new one :)09:59

SpeedEvilMaemo comprises closed elements in a tangled mess - in conjunction with the open eleemnts.14:50
SpeedEvilYou cannot use the open bits without the closed bits.14:51
markinfohm - are there some serious reasons to have "closed elements"?14:51
strohhalmokay14:52
robbiethe1stSpeedEvil: How much of the main UI(Theme bits, desktop, statusbar etc) are closed?14:52

robbiethe1stLike, what could be dropped on top of a Debian system?14:52
strohhalmnda, patents, closed firmware i think markinfo ;)14:52
SpeedEvilmarkinfo: The closed elements were chosen and designed to make it hard for another phone maker to use the open elements that they connect to.14:52

strohhalmRX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2 <-- this is ne latest release?14:57
SpeedEvilactually illegal to sell14:57
SpeedEvilmarkinfo: Fundamentally, radio is a shared resource. GSM and other cellphone protocols work because the tower control everything.14:58
SpeedEvilmarkinfo: Two users deciding to use their cell-radios to directly talk to each other and not use up any of their data allowances can wipe out calls on that channel for tens of kilometers.14:59
*** GNUton-BNC has joined #maemo15:00
markinfohm - open Source GSM, it looks danger ... but that problem is very similar to the WIFI cards - or not?15:01
cehtehkindof design flaw15:01
SpeedEvilIt's not a design flaw.15:01
SpeedEvilIt's a fundamental issue. Radio is a shared resource.15:01
SpeedEvilCellphones work specifically because the cell network is engineered so that there are never two devices transmitting on the same frequency at the same time.15:02
cehtehthinking flaw then even15:03
SpeedEvilWifi - pretty much - works with shared channels, as it accepts that sometimes it's just not going to work, and that nearby devices on the same frequency will wipe out the channel.15:03
cehtehi cant operate a radio transmitter on commercial bands without infriging the law .. so is hacking the gsm transmitter too15:03
*** ab is now known as ab[out]15:04
cehtehor when i code a virus which hacks some machines (and use it) then its against the law15:04
cehtehyou cant just prevent that by telling "virus coding cant be open source" the bad guys will always try15:04
SpeedEvilBut with GSM and other cell-devices - the approval has as a condition of use that it can't be used to do that.15:04
SpeedEvilThe problem isn't so much one-offs.15:05
* RST38h yawns, eats a kitten15:05
RST38hSoo, news?15:05
SpeedEvilThe problem is a 'free data' app popping up on a popular handset that completely wipes out the network in the area.15:05
cehtehwhich is illegal to use15:06
SpeedEvilP2P is illegal to use too.15:06
cehtehp2p is not illegal15:06
cehtehwhat you do with it might be illegal15:06
SpeedEvilOk - P2P is illegal to use to infringe copyright.15:06
SpeedEvilBut the above issue arises with 12 year-olds - for example - using the above app.15:07
VeggenSpeedEvil: And so is word, email, web, etc.15:07
VeggenSpeedEvil: there's nothing different with php.15:07
Veggeneh, P2P.15:07
SpeedEvilVeggen: The point is the illegality doesn't stop people doing it.15:07
Veggenno, that's true.15:08
SpeedEvilHence the fact that locking down the cell-radio has some point.15:08
cehtehthats what i meant with design flaw .. technically each device should authenticate properly with each other and the network .. if not its like operating a pirate radio transmitter, when you do and get catched then you get sued and have to pay high fines15:08
cehtehthere is no need to obscure this by closing the souce15:08
VeggenSpeedEvil: there'll *always* be people infringing copright. That has never been the problem, the problem is that the media business has stopped delivering services that people are willing to buy once they actually get money to do so.15:08
*** polymar has quit IRC15:08
SpeedEvilcehteh: The source - the GSM protocol - is quite open.15:09

*** kwtm has quit IRC15:09

cehtehyes ... and?15:10
cehtehif i steal a car i can grind out the serials too .. does that make it better or legal or acceptable?15:10
SpeedEvilThe fundamental problem is that radio is a shared resource - anyone transmitting on an unauthorised channel on a GSM networks allocation will knock off up to 16 calls. Some of which may be emergency calls.15:11
*** lxp has joined #maemo15:11
cehtehstolen cars run by drunken / drugged shitheads also share the same street and overrun people15:12
*** polymar has joined #maemo15:12
SpeedEvilSure - it's not. The issue is that your average teenager - who is infringing on copyright over P2P is not likely to see a major difference between doing that, and running a 'free data transfer to your friends' app.15:12
cehtehyes but thats not a technical problem you can engage with a technical solution (locking the code down) .. its about education and responsibility15:12
SpeedEvilGood luck with that.15:13
lardmanno, that is something you can stop by locking down the hw15:13
SpeedEvilI look forward to hearing how you're going to educate everyone to follow the law.15:13
lardmanchances are that a teenager bright enough to develop their own, won't be a teenager anymore by the time it's ready to go15:13
cehteheventually someone will release (if not already happend) a free/open/hacked GSM stack on the black market15:13
SpeedEvilcehteh: That's not the issue.15:14
lardmanthat will require hacked hw too though15:14
lardmanwhich will be expensive15:14
*** rd has joined #maemo15:14
SpeedEvilcehteh: The issue is hardware - widely available - being able to be used in ways that will incidentally jam other users in a many kilometer radius.15:14
SpeedEvilAnd with incentives for people to use it that way (free data).15:14
cehtehi bet some day they find a way around .. and some day later it will apear on some server just for download for the kids15:14
SpeedEvilHence the locking down of the hardware. There isn't another way round this. Radio is by nature a broadcast and shared medium.15:15
lardmanthe point of the separation is so that can't happen cehteh, so no amount of sw can alter that15:15
cehtehhaha .. they saied that about blueray too :P15:16
*** the_lord has joined #maemo15:16
lardmanyes, though that is slightly different15:16
SpeedEvilWithout rigid control, your cellphone range drops from 15km to 3km, and then only sometimes, and the battery usage goes up 100*15:16
lardmanbut yes, perhaps there is a weakness somewhere, who knows15:16
dangergrrli ran the unlock for the fm transmitter in my n900 and the world did not end and the fcc has not showed up at my door15:16
lardmandangergrrl: short range15:17
SpeedEvildangergrrl: Sure - the FM transmitter is still operating at a really tiny power though.15:17
lardmanand no-one dies because they can't listen to Radio 115:17
dangergrrland someone told me not long ago that they heard something about a full gsm stack in open source15:17
cehtehyes15:17
lardmanBut you still need the hw to run it on15:17
SpeedEvildangergrrl: If you are 2km from a cell-tower, and transmit to your friend without negotiating with that cell-tower, you will knock everyone else further than 1km or so on the same channel off the network.15:18
lardmanand I bet your average teenager's pocket money won't stretch to that15:18
SpeedEvildangergrrl: Including some emergency calls.15:18

SpeedEvilyeah - that.15:19
SpeedEvilAlso - there is a cracked phone, being used for openhandset15:19
strohhalmi think the problem is not the closed gsm stack, nokia shows that it is possible to provide a free userland with closed parts e.g. for radio, grafic. but why nobody build such stuff with --usable --customizable15:20
dangergrrli suppose if i had a friend who lived next door15:20
SpeedEvilYeah - there is no reason why the user cares about an open-source GSM stack.15:21
SpeedEvilIf the stack is done right, it exposes everything the user might care about.15:21
dangergrrl*and* i could transmit bulk data without being charged by my cell provider15:21
kerioif you had a friend who lived next door you'd push a cat6 cable through a wall15:21
strohhalmi would be happy with a closed gsm stack, too. if i get a device (system) like the n90015:22

javispedroDocScrutinizer: ah, well, I guess not "by default" ;)18:22
DocScrutinizerjavispedro: b) even if there is, I don't think it would work without killing fsckng PA18:22
ShadowJKbtw, I wouldn't run n900 to empty without bme. It cuts power to the cpu without warning, so there is danger of filesystem corruption. On Smartdevices' SmartQ5/Q7, this even made its emmc unusable :P18:22

ShadowJKchem|st, if battery has been charged to full, then discharged to less than 3248mV, without any charging in between, without removing battery, then it adjusts its caibration towards what it measured18:23

chem|stdidn't want it to die on it but wait till close to real empty and shutdown18:25
DocScrutinizerShadowJK: that's not *entirely* true, aiui the PMU is sending an IRQ to CPU prior to hard shutdown18:25
lcukjavispedro, using the code from arecord you could theoretically produce a marginally more optimal set of routines18:25

ShadowJKchem|st, stop bme once you get your usual low battery warning. start "./charge21.sh" and "./bq2700.sh 5", monitor the bw window waiting for EDV1 column to change to 1. There'll also be a warning popup from bq27200.sh. Connect charger immediately. Wait until 15% charge. Disconnect charger. Wait 30s. Stop charge21.sh (ctrl-c). "start bme", wait 30s, connect charger.18:28

DocScrutinizerPA and L.P. started to come up with a "solution" that simply ignores that fact18:56
DocScrutinizerderf: a proper concept does NO assumptions on the accuracy of hw clocks for AD and DA, just syncing buffers in a way that fills/yanks frames or buffer segments when needed18:57
DocScrutinizerderf: you got that problem for syncing audio to a video stream ALL the time18:58

*** FIQ has quit IRC18:58
derfSyncing audio and video is completely different.18:59
DocScrutinizerdefinitely not18:59
derfYou just measure the audio playout rate and display video frames accordingly.18:59
DocScrutinizeryou got still one master clock (usually systemclock) and a number of not synced clocks for the streams that need close supervision and adjustment19:00
DocScrutinizersame thing for RTP (VoIP), even more complex there as you not only got your local AD and DA clock and systemclock master,  but also those of the far end which you need to sync to19:01

ShadowJKConsidering the architecture for most video players were designed when P3-500 was a reasonable cpu in the "performance" class, where resampling 44.1kHz stereo took 30% CPU, it was never even considered :)20:10
JaffaMorning, all20:12
DocScrutinizerShadowJK: it's basically irrelevant what's your master clock. The point is you have to nominate just ONE master clock, and sync all the media streams to that, by either inserting/dropping whole audio snippets (packages) or single samples/frames (which is a sort of poor man's resampling), or by dynamically adjusting the slave clock of the media stream running out of sync. Basically same applies to video. Esp if you're playing a 25fps video20:12
DocScrutinizerto a video-card/monitor that's running at an arbitrary vsync of e.g 77.8Hz20:12
*** promgvm has left #maemo20:13
ShadowJKthe good thing is that your video clock is (almost) always faster than your video stream, so there's no need to start interpolating or resampling video in time domain20:15
DocScrutinizerindeed20:15
*** piggz has joined #maemo20:15
ShadowJKbut with audio you'd get stutter, crackling or overlapping segments if you had such an approach20:15
DocScrutinizerusually doesn't really matter that much - at least on voip that's the common approach20:16
DocScrutinizerresample (e.g by alsa plughw plugin) to the roughly correct sample rate for the hw, the insert/drop single (usually) 20ms buffer segments20:17
ShadowJKI think people are less sensitive to distortion in telephony for historical reasons20:18
DocScrutinizerfor that you need a somewhat accurate idea of how much is your audio buffer's fill up20:18

ShadowJKdefininig it only works within the limitations of the harware and the plugins. Every plugin that does something non-trivial adds a buffer. From buffer fill you can calculate a time, but that time is "time until exception", get delay is "time until buffer tail comes out of speaker"20:32

jacekowskijo-erlend: connection problems21:14
DocScrutinizerShadowJK: ALSA could handle buffers down to 2 segmants of 1 frame each, I guess21:14
DocScrutinizerwhich would mean your app has to have realy short latency when the signal arives, whatever it is SIGIOWAIT or dunno what21:15
ShadowJKjo-erlend, no it doesn't indicate a security measure. It indicates that there is a charging problem. The problem could be your dc adapter, cable, plug, port, n900, battery terminals, battery pins, or battery21:15
ShadowJKI mean you'd have issues reliably keeping the buffer filled21:16
*** yigal has joined #maemo21:16

DocScrutinizer(of course ALSA has way more nifty things like min-fill and max-fill thresholds etc)21:22
DocScrutinizerbut basically that's the way things work21:22
DocScrutinizerit's quite impossible and also useless to get current delay to a resolution < one segment worth of audio21:24
ShadowJKAll I want to know is how many bytes are in the buffer, and how much delay there is between buffers empty and sound from speakers stopping (the last one is often sufficiently close to 0 that it doesn't matter). get_delay is supposed to be both combined21:24

DocScrutinizerthough for me it sounds more like an alien got beaten to death by a piano21:27
DocScrutinizerShadowJK: you fill your audio buffe with segment 1 + 2, you start video and audio same moment. When ALSA asks for segment 3 you know it just finsihed with segment 121:28
ShadowJKactually ideal time ref for get_delay would be audio clock ;p21:28
DocScrutinizer(assuming a 2 segments buffer)21:28
ShadowJKit works perfectly if you have for example frag-size 1024 and fragments 16 in alsa, because you get buffer fill un multiples of 1024 and get_delay in worst case has granularity similar to that21:30
DocScrutinizerif your video is still in timeframe of segment one when alsa asks for segment 3 then you're late on video playback. when you're a large way into timeframe 2 or even started 3 then you'Re too fast with video -do whatever you need to correct it21:31
DocScrutinizersame applies for a buffer consisting of 8 or 16 segments accordingly21:31
ShadowJKbut then all bets are off if you don't talk to the hw device anymore and have to go through a plugin chain, and you get all sorts of weird buffer sizes and fragment numbers, and granularities21:31
DocScrutinizerno need for get_delay() *really*21:31

MohammadAG<jo-erlend> is it normal for N900 to make a ... muted bell sound when it dies from lack of power?21:34

ShadowJKpulseaudio only works or adds a benefit when it has exclusive access to the audio device, because then it can actually get the parameters it asks for, and provide accurate timing and buffer fill info to its clients. The additional benefit is of course that it has documentation, and that the documentation is comprehensible to more people  than the ones who wrote it ;p21:41

jacekowskiShadowJK: what?21:44
jacekowskiShadowJK: pulseaudio is source of problems21:44
jacekowskiand that's all21:44
ShadowJKArguably the effort spent on pulseaudio could've been spent on fixing alsa bugs, alsa api, and alsa docs instead, but that brings us back to to alsa being incomprehensible to everyone except those who wrote it, and a few others21:45
jacekowskithat's why there are things like openAL and other friendly libraries21:45
DocScrutinizerjacekowski: indeed21:46
* RST38h throws up at the mention of OpenAL21:46
DocScrutinizernone of the arguments to start PukeAudio holds valid or delivers after 2 (?) years with this shit21:46

*** eMHa has joined #maemo22:27
DocScrutinizerPA is just hiding the direct access to hw parameters that you get via ALSA API, and gives you info about PA's own borked internals instead22:28
ShadowJKBecause it doesn't go through dmix, or any other plugins. That's where the problems start :)22:28
