Dear EGLUG, We had agreed a couple of weeks ago to announce a session about the above-mentioned subject. I'll be ready to give such a session, once approved, on Sat, Aug 13.
The proposed approach is to:
- Give an idea about the various file formats inovlved (audio, midi, mod, sf2, etc.)
- Give a survey of the already available Linux software dealing with these types of files (audio editors, sequencers, notators, trackers, etc.).
- Enumerate the technologies that make this possible (alsa, jack, eca, etc.), which can be called Helper Applications.
Later on, we can discuss possible future, more specialised, sessions based on the needs of the attending members.
If my proposition meets your approval, kindly see to it that a public announcemnt is made.
Looking forward to being a useful member. Thanks.

Fine
Perfectly fine, what are the requirements to be available on the lab machines for such a session? Complain, do nothing, get your free Patagonian identity.
A Proposed Session on Music Software on Linux
I had already installed most, if not all, of the relevant software packages on one of the machines (the one on the very left, to be exact). For the first session (the one proposed), we won't need anything in particular, but later on each one will have to bring along his/her headphones, and we'll have to install a couple of open-source soundfonts (I have PC51f.sf2 in mind).
