Not really. ardour-2.8.7, calf-plugins and ffado will be part of squeeze, this equals 98% of my daily work. > On the other hand, for casual use of jack, a more stable version would > be preferred over a more featureful one. Unfortunately, this is only half of the story. For the occasional use of jack, jackd2 is easier to use, because it can suspend pulseaudio. In the jackd1 case, the user needs to shutdown pulseaudio or any other application blocking the soundcard. I wrote a small client that can run on TOP of pulseaudio, but it's just proof of concept and doesn't support recording. And nobody cares about this idea. ;) > So I would go with jack1 for squeeze. I'm completely undecided. Whenever I write "Ok, let's stick to jackd1 and upgrade in squeeze-and-a-half if need be", I remember that at least Free, Jonas and me are using jackd2 for quite some time, so why not switch immediately... ;) Cheerio -- mail: [email protected] http://adi.thur.de PGP/GPG: key via keyserver _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
