This all seems a bit odd to me. Session handling is not necessarily about what the community wants. It's about what the people implementing the session handling system want. If that's in line with what other people want then it will be used. If it's in line with what many people want then it will become widespread. You can't please all of the people all of the time. I think the problem with jack session is nothing to do with consensus within the general context of LAD and entirely to do with consensus within the context of JACK. And it's no surprise that a consensus wasn't reached because implementing session handling within JACK itself is neither necessary or, I believe the right thing to do. I cannot think of any reason why JACK would ever need awareness of session handling. As for LAD being dead, I think LV2 shows that it's still very much alive. -- Bob Ham <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
