For the upcoming Guix videos we are searching for a (near) native
speaker to speak the transcript. Any candidates?

I'm putting you Chris in CC because I personally enjoy your calm
British accent :-)

Hi Bjorn,

Yes, I can be a candidate.  I was born in London and I have a native
English voice.

Also, I can arrange access to professional recording equipment at the
local university.  The voiceover could be supplied in the format of
your choice (AIFF, WAV, ...).

Best regards,

Paul.

container.

subtitles maybe for knowing the timing? Paul is is OK a .srt file for

Good. Just a note for you: If you recently "guix pulled", you may have
noticed that aegisub is broken since 2019-02-09 15:14:59. You can still
use the old installed version. I will commit the final fix tonight, so
after that it should be updatable/installable again.

Yeah, Ricardo should decide about that.

Thanks,

Björn

Luckily I guix pulled the day before, so it should work :), but let
Paul me know if a .srt file is fine.

Hi Laura,

Sure, .srt should be fine.  I will find out more details of the
recording equipment and the process.

Best regards,

Paul.

Pushed the fix now, so if you give the build-farms some more time, you
can substitute or compile-directly yourself.

As Paul is fine with this, let's go with .srt.

FLAC would be preferred as it takes up less space than an raw WAV or
AIFF file, but really any lossless encoding that’s supported by free
software tools would be fine.

I don't know what's common in video software, but Ardour and everything 
JACK uses 32 bit floating point. LADSPA and LV2, too. FLAC does not 
support float; the only losless compressed format that does is wavpack.
