I'd be interested. It would likely take me some time though, and maybe some guidance, but it's something I want to learn. I dabbled in C but can only read simple code. I start to study computer science next week, which will give me access to the library at least, to K&R and a bunch of others. The lectures at university are mostly in java but C is required at some point, and I guess it's better to start learning it sooner rather than later, besides, it seems to be needed for all the neat audio stuff ;) So yeah, I guess I should get the code, put it in a git repo and just start hacking... > I don't know if Nasca Octavian Paul is subscribed to this list and if > he's still actively developing it; but it would be the best to ask him > first. > > The missing ringbuffer is most likely the cause of the already known bug > "sometimes the playback is choppy" listed at the bottom of > http://hypermammut.sourceforge.net/paulstretch/ > > > If no-one else volunteers I could do it to take get my mind off things > during some short-distance flights next week-end. > > Cheers! > robin _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
