Part of it is that I haven't written a single line of code. ;-) There was a project called soundserver that was being discussed for a very short while. The idea was that it was going to be like an X Window System for audio. But that discussion dried up very quickly. More recently, there was development by Paul Davis and others here on LAAGA (Linux Audio Application Glue API). The URL for that is: http://eca.cx/laaga/ There were some interesting discussions about context switching latency and even extending LAAGA to include network connections. Then I dropped out of here to go work on other things that required my attention (and still do). So I don't know what's happened since then. Jay Ts
