"We envision inexpensive Linux desktop systems with studio-quality audio robust, portable solutions for military and surveillance applications and handheld medical and scientific audio testing devices with uncommonly high fidelity and functionality."ĭigigram ( digital audio solutions are key to the success of public address and pro sound installations, as well as broadcast and media production companies worldwide. "The Linux professional audio community is young and a scene of real innovation," said Delacroix.
DIGIGRAM DRIVER DRIVERS
The Open Source licensing of the Digigram VX drivers and the Linux ALSA driver development project, along with the introduction of mpX Platform, a development platform for enterprise audio networks embedding Linux, is progress in Digigram's effort to enable high-quality, high-function audio at all levels: from embedded systems to enterprise networks from mobile computing to desktop applications. "We are creating professional portability and reliability for applications which until now have not had access to our audio technologies."

"There has been strong demand to enable our audio interface know-how for Linux, handheld and other embedded operating systems," said Digigram Managing Director Philippe Delacroix. "Advanced users and programmers who need special functionality can now take matters into their own hands and develop new solutions." "By releasing the source code of Digigram's VX card drivers under Open Source licensing, professional audio quality is enabled for a new community of laptop and desktop users," said SUSE Vice President of Development Markus Rex.

DIGIGRAM DRIVER MAC OS X
The source code of the Mac OS X drivers and driver interface documentation will first be made available through the ALSA Project website (ALSA, the preferred professional audio driver standard for Linux, is incorporated into the Linux kernel and provides the foundation for several Linux-based audio applications. The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) driver developers at SUSE Linux AG, Germany, one of the world's leading providers of products and services based on the Linux operating system, will be managing the initial project to port Digigram's drivers to Linux. Digigram, an innovator in digital audio network solutions, announced today that it is making available the source code for its popular VX line of professional sound cards under Open Source licensing.
