EEE laptop + Audacity + DJ mixer + line-in + vinyl decks.

Works nicely. There's been a few posts on the net with people having trouble getting the above combination working. My recipe (assuming standard EEE Xandros distro on an EEEPC701, and no farting about compiling anything):

Su to root, edit /etc/apt/sources.list as below:


# Standard repos
deb http://update.eeepc.asus.com/p701 p701 main
deb http://update.eeepc.asus.com/p701/en p701 main

# added to get the bulk of debian-ish packages
deb http://xnv4.xandros.com/xs2.0/upkg-srv2 etch main contrib non-free

# to get lame (mp3) support for audacity
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch main


then simply

apt-get update
apt-get audacity
apt-get liblame0

and as per most other docs, set your working directories to a removeable device (8 gig SD chips are cheap now, anything else is a false economy), and aim Audacity's mp3 export prefs at /usr/lib/libmp3lame.so.0.0.0 - and done.

Next stop, learning to beatmatch.
