nope. I'm looking for the same info :) The table on the wiki page is based on a spreadsheet that Albert Graef sent me. Neither the round-table, not the wrap-up session has been recorded. I know there've been ~15 people (most of which subscribe to LAD) participating in the round-table and ~50 in the wrap-up session. anyone please.. In partictular the "multi-rate", "sync" & "async" need clarification. I assume "multi-rate" means real-time resampling (different sample-rates in the _same_ session). Also "batch" is somewhat sloppy. Does it mean batch processing is available from inside the application or just that the app can be launched from a batch script? > The table looks like it could become something useful, but you're right, > it reminds of the apps.linuxaudio.org db, which could and should be > expanded. right, but the tools-overview is a bit different: It does not aim to be complete and puts focus on well-established frameworks to give an overview to newcomers: "I want to do an interactive A/V piece: What software do you recommend?" The round-table was intended to give developers an opportunity to position themselves and think about what a given app does best and how to distinguish one from the other; along the lines: "We don't need another framework, we need to consolidate existing ones". best, robin _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
