INSTALLING AEOLUS-YM 0.7.0
__________________________


This is an experimental release. It can be installed
together with the current official release (0.6.6),
as all the binary filenames are different.

This version uses the impulse response of York Minster,
UK, and real-time convolution to create the reverb.
The IR is not resampled, so the result will be correct
only for a sample frequency of 48 kHz. At 44.1 kHz, the
reverb time will be 10% longer.

To build this version, you need the libraries

-  libclalsadrv.so.1.2.2
-  libclthreads.so.2.2.1
-  libclxclient.so.3.3.2
-  libzita-convolver.so.0.1.0
-  libsndfile.so.1.0.18  

and the corresponding header files.
All of these except libsndfile are available from
<http://www.kokkinizita.net/linuxaudio/downloads>.
The libsndfile version is a pre-release. You can
also use 1.0.17 if you uncomment the definition
of NOAMBIS in the Makefile.

Four binary files will be made:

-  aeolus-ym            main program, 
-  aeolus-ym_x11.so     GUI plugin,
-  aeolus-ym_txt.so     TUI plugin,
-  mkwavex              wavex file utility.

As in the current release, aeolus-ym_txt.so is just
an empty stub.

The default Makefile will install the Aeolus binary
and mkwavex in /usr/local/bin, and the user interface
plugins in /usr/local/lib (or /usr/local/lib64 on 64-
bit systems). Edit the PREFIX definition in the Makefile
to install to other directories. It is not possible to
just move the plugins without recompilation as the path
to them is compiled into the aeolus-ym binary.

To make:

- cd to the directory containing the source files
-  make
-  (as root) make install
-  make clean (optional)

Run-time configuration is the same as for the official
release, but the -C flag is not supported. For Ambisonic
output, use -B and decode using Ambdec which is a far
better decoder than the ones that were built-in.

    *** Installing the York Minster impulse response ***
-------------------------------------------------------------

Get the two files 

  Minster1_000_WX_48k.wav
  Minster1_000_YZ_48k.wav

from <http://space-net.org.uk/node/54>, then use the
command

  mkwavex -A Minster1_000_WX_48k.wav Minster1_000_YZ_48k.wav Minster1_000_WXYZ_48k.amb

to combine them into a single 4-channel file, and move the
.amb file to your Aeolus stops directory.
