Hello, I am working on the successor to the event extension and its EventBuffer. This is the buffer used for MIDI in LV2 instruments and such[1].
I need to know: * Does anyone actually use the variable time stamp type stuff? The original idea here was to support tempo time, but it seems unlikely anyone will do that in run() * Does anyone use the event_count field for anything other than iterating over the events? It would be nice to remove this. * Does anyone need the ability for the buffer payload to be not in the same POD chunk as the header? I would be nice to remove this pointer and have the buffer be a POD chunk like everything else. The original idea was so e.g. hosts could make plugins write to fragments of other buffers, but I can't think of a real use for this, and radical simplification is the name of the game here. * Is anyone actually using non-POD events and references? If anyone has any other gripes/suggestions for the event extension, now's the time to make them heard. Speak now or forever hold your peace, etc. Thanks, -dr P.S. I have avoided the "why does event need to be replaced" part to keep it to the point, but if anyone is curious, I can explain _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
