There's two missing (which were mentioned in a follow up email): - batch (does it mean app can be called (headless) from a batch script, or that the app itself offers batch processing) - embed. means embedded or embeddable? > Note that we didn't have experts for all the mentioned programs on board > during the discussion (most notably, the supercollider people were > absent since they had a session in parallel), so it can't hurt if the > feature matrix is proofread by as many eyeballs as possible. ;-) There's already been quite some additions: http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/doku.php?id=wiki:tools_comparison&do=revisions In particular: Lua-AV, Snd-RT, CLM and Fluxus have been reviewed. Someone (84.215.119.162) recently added categories "RT" and "GC" without documenting them :/ IMHO real-time makes sense, but I' don't think that "garbage collection" (if that's what GC means) belongs in that table. Anyway, step 2 (next month) includes removing undocumented and superfluous information (eg. so far all discussed tools are x-platform). ciao, robin > Albert > > -- > Dr. Albert Gr"af > Dept. of Music-Informatics, University of Mainz, Germany > Email: [email protected], [email protected] > WWW: http://www.musikinformatik.uni-mainz.de/ag _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
