Pardon me but... How about SoftWire?
This name has a few things going for it. It has a play on words. (software - softwire) Its name and meaning are the same. (software wire) It conforms to the probable next-generation hardware interconnect name. Stand-alone hardware boxes will be connected with FireWire, stand-alone software apps will be connected with SoftWire. The main advantage to this client-server media environment is the compatibility between otherwise independent apps. The only interest that users will have regarding this issue is whether or not a particular app is compatible with their existing daw environment. So look at these phrases. LAAGA compatible JACK compatible LADMEA compatible LAIC compatible SoftWire compatible To me SoftWire is the most meaningful name for userland, with JACK as a reasonable second choice. The rest are useless beyond the developer community. Tom
