[linux-audio-dev] python and jack, performance report

[Leonard "paniq" Ritter]

frustrated by the poor implementation of the jack bindings for python
(pyjack), i wrote my own in native python using ctypes.

the first test client mixed a 440hz sine wave using native python lists,
and the cpu usage was about ~11%.

i reimplemented the sine generator with numerics, and got it down to
~2%.

i believe that considering the overhead of the python implementation,
that result isn't too bad, and maybe allows for more than just
prototyping.

i attached the jack wrapper with the test client contained for those who
are interested. its not entirely wrapped and lacks some functionality.
