As a user with lots of MIDI equipment from the 80ies, I would prefer a separated JACK application doing this. It's not only for Linux, but for all computers and stand alone equipment that MIDI sync among some combinations of applications and/or hardware is ok, while it isn't ok among other combinations, e.g because of master and slave issues and sometimes just because of voodoo. If Linux apps would use JACK transport the coders only would have to take care to handle this. Just having on app doing sync among JACK and eternal MIDI would reduce the risk of trouble. Btw. MTC should be part of such an app too ... I didn't read the whole thread, perhaps this was mentioned before. Just a note by an user, becuase of "the MIDI stuff could be implemented as a separate JACK application": Full ACK. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
