I'm doing all my testing with a recent version from Git. I didn't mean to imply that Denemo is full of broken features, just that my proposal is mainly about restructuring and cleanup, not about removing things. > (There *are* broken features in Denemo - e.g. no-one has > used C-sound in a decade I suspect, but things often appear broken > because of poor documentation or o/s variations). Yes, Csound playback is actually the best example for this. I don't know if it's broken per se, but it seems undocumented, unmaintained, and possibly unused. In fact I couldn't find out how to activate it in the GUI, or from where the Csound playback code is called. It has also been suggested that audio input is only semi-usable and should not be a high priority. I'm not so sure about that, and would rather fix it than remove it, as it's a pretty nifty feature. Incidentally, I haven't been able to test it yet. At the moment all my usable hardware audio inputs are JACK-only (firewire), and audio input in Denemo only works with PortAudio. Did I mention I was planning to fix that? ;) Dominic _______________________________________________ Denemo-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/denemo-devel
