Find a small JACK app and debug it. Learn how to load core dumps in gdb, how to step through code in gdb, and how to use valgrind. Even just fixing small problems (ie memory leaks, GTK warnings) in GUI code is a good baby step that can bring some familiarity to that scary looking code you don't understand. Look at the API's of the libraries an application is using and try and see if that app is using deprecated functions (but also consider debian-stable users ;-). Just start small. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
