Are you interested in taking ownership of the more basic primitives?
Ownership as in "Only I can work on this."?
If so, no.
Onwership as in somebody needs to spear head the work ;)
I have little to no experience with audio I/O, X11 or DirectX/Windows API.
I'm just a somewhat quick learner, especially when learning something
can help achieve my goals (in this case, being able to customize the
software I use to create music).
The major reason why I'm not working on this myself is because I already
have enough on my plate and I have no clue about audio code.
Most of what you need is fairly simple, its just a lot to take in.
Being "fully D" is not a priority to me, initially depending on SDL and
later switching the low-level libraries to pure D implementations is
totally fine.
Once I've learned more about the insides of audio software and the
native APIs on multiple platforms, I might be able to contribute to said
audio primitives.
Until then, Ketmar seems a more suited candidate (already has a
multi-channel sound engine, Follin[0] in the works (only on ALSA,
though) ).
Ketmar definitely would not want to work on it. The only person I know
who could is p0nce and he's pretty busy as it stands with his own audio
work.
P.S. Thanks for your work on windowing and image handling, will be very
useful once an actual GUI for the DAW is needed.
