Music & Linux--Was question about Gnopernicus

[Scott Berry]

Well we do have Gnopernicus for the x windows system however it is still
a beta and can cause some serious problems for us who are musicians as
the speech is by tts engines or text to speech and since Gnopernicus is so
new it can lock up a system quick as I have found out.  The other problem
is that when using any tts engine with Gnopernicus you can't get two
inputs through your soundcard because Gnopernicus can't quite do that yet.
There  is alsoa console app called ecasound which if you saw Shaun's
message it can be a real pain to set up.  I haven't got it yet to record
my keyboard from a line in on the sound card.
