JACK is cool. If you use JACK, I highly recommend subscribing to the Planet CCRMA mailing list. JACK development is happening quickly, and keeping JACK apps in sync with JACK, and keeping JACK in sync with ALSA, takes some effort to stay current and keep your audio system stable. There's also now an xmms-jack plugin, so you can apply effects to internet radio and record/mix it in realtime, if something like that interests you :) If there are Linux audio program that don't use JACK within the next 6-8 months, they're probably better off dead. (And if there are audio programs that don't use ALSA natively in the next three months, they're _really_ better off dead, as ALSA will be the default audio system in Linux 2.6.0.) -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
