I know, I know, sounds like a title from a Douglas Adams' SciFi book series, but hey, as long as it gets the point across :-). Basically, I've been messing with KDE Develop recently, and pretty much decided this will be my GUI development platform for my future audio-oriented apps. The problem is that there is little or no comprehensive single knowledge source related to developing audio stuff (i.e. anything from synthesis to complex soundfile and/or real-time audio manipulation), which, as I uderstand it can be completely independent from KDE, although it may utilize Arts (which again, I am not sure just how KDE dependent that is, since I heard that Gnome is porting Arts, too). I obviously might be just ignorant and not know that there is such thing out there already, and thus I am using this oportunity to ask you fellow linux audio developers, if you have any good pointers as to where should I start looking, in order to have the most efficient and productive process of learning. I do understand that a lot can be learned by hacking through other people's open-source code, and I do intend to do that by all means, but I am also at the same time looking for a good reference source, so that if I just feel like creating a sine-wave app (which would be obviously for nothing more than learning purposes), I would have a good place to quickly look up basic building blocks needed for such creation (i.e. a reference book would be absolutely the best option, although, I was unable to find such thing as of yet). Any assistance on this issue would be greatly appreciated! Sincerely,
