[linux-audio-dev] little question regarding Ardour

[zen95156 at zen.co.uk]

Hello

I started a session in Ardour - drag and dropped a .wav file, then recorded (sucessfully) from a Jack input.

Checking the session folder, Ardour appears to record to disc as it's going along (on-the-fly).

I presume Ardour can also route the incoming sound to its outputs, for monitoring.

Does anyone know what mechanism Ardour uses to do this?

(I'll walk blindly into speculation. Ardour uses a jack ringbuffer on its Jack input port, in the approved way - but that only leaves one read on the ringbuffer output...)
