What it /really/ should be is a generic event transport mechanism (only arbitrary FonsControls(TM) is just as bad as only arbitrary MIDI, and jack doesn't need to care what the actual events are whatsoever). I proposed this - in patch form - to the jack list ages ago and it was shot down. I don't recall there ever being a legitimate "why". -DR- _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
