Wikipedia links to my site

Today I noticed that an arti­cle in the Ger­man Wikipedia is link­ing to my site. The arti­cle about mul­ti­me­dia tech­nolo­gies is link­ing to my page about audio com­pres­sion (Ger­man only). I wrote this back in the days when I was in the uni­ver­si­ty (and I got a good grade in a mul­ti­me­dia course for it, MP3 was new stuff back then).

A minor amount of the Wikipedia arti­cle seems to be tak­en from my page (accord­ing to a search engine which is sup­posed to detect pla­gia­rism). This is sort of cool (and the way it is done 100% valid use of my con­tent, IMO). 😎

Upcom­ming sound stuff

Ryan got per­mis­sion to extend the work he did in the SoC as part of a class at uni­ver­si­ty. He wants to push down the new mix­er stuff to the dri­ver lev­el now. He does it in the emu10kx dri­ver (because he has such a card) and maybe in anoth­er dri­ver. This will allow to use a lot more of the fea­tures a card offers. Yuriy (author of the emu10kx dri­ver) has some work in the dri­ver sched­uled too, so I offered him a p4 account so that they can col­lab­o­rate. As of this writ­ting it is up to the p4 admins to grant an account.

And while I’m at it: Kon­stan­tin (env24* dri­ver author) got his p4 account already. He tries to get some time to com­mit his work in progress there.
