Hi all,
An idea has been running in my head for a while, and I know I'm not
alone there: jack_lsp, jack_load, jack_connect, etc. are not examples
but command line tools for jack whereas jack_simple_client *is* an
example.
I'd like to change the tree to have a tools directory in addition to
the example-clients directory. I can work on that inside a branch if
people would like to see how it would look before we put that in
trunk. comments/approval/disapproval are welcome before I start with
that.
This leads me to this morning's topic number 2: netjack as an inprocess clients.
Netjack as an inprocess client making it look like some sort of plugin
is a great idea in my opinion. eventually, if there's a sufficient
control API for inprocess clients in jack 2.0, these "plugins" will be
very easy to manage using a control app (this would require some form
of inprocess_retrieve_options() call to be created).
As far as 1.0 is concerned, I have 2 issues :
- the few tests I've run seem to give quite bad results/behavior
(jackd crashes on some case, more xruns in comparison to a former
"classic" netjack setup, etc.)
- Netjack as an inprocess client takes us too far of the
simple-stupid integration that was planned given the previous issues
So what's the plan ?
What I'm thinking is to integrate netjack *really* as is, and have
netsource, alsa_in and alsa_out go into the newly added tools
directory (and possibly rename alsa_in and alsa_out, since we could
have more explicit names than that), netsource being a plain client
(not in process). This being done, I would run more tests make a few
last fixes, and consider it ready for 1.0
jack_midi, and inprocess client could be kept for 2.0, since using in
process clients would be much easier/user friendly with a good control
API.
Again comments/flames/hatred/approval is welcome.
Cheers,
