This is true, but only of apps that can fit in to the way that Unix does its stringing together; ie, filestream-based apps. It is indeed advantageous to bend the way you work into this in many instances when you're trying to get a computer to do work. Unfortunately, audio work isn't one of them. There is no such framework to provide similar functionality to audio programs, yet. Jack provides an excellent transport for audio, but that is rarely the only thing that audio programs require; MIDI and parameter controls are also needed more often than not. This is, to some degree, what I'm attempting to provide with the app (or api, if you like) that I'm working on. Bob -- Bob Ham: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pkl.net/~node/
