[LAD] GTK+ vs QT for new Open Source Project- Resend With Links Corrected

[Ken Dawber]

I have a very similar question to the previous 'FLTK vs GTKmm' question.

I'm trying to start up a new Open Source Project.  This project assumes 
use of high end audio cards along with creation, processing and 
recording of audio frequency PCM data that is being transmitted and 
received from the audio card(s).  Development is expected to be in a 
Linux environment.

Seems like many audio applications and I expect and hope that it can use 
many already created audio software modules but the application isn't a 
normal audio application.  The objective is to create a Software 
Oriented Metal Detector suitable for Humanitarian Demining.  Full 
information can be found at

   http://humanise.org

The audio frequency PCM data is not actual audio but rather the 
generation of the coil transmit frequency and the reception, processing 
and storage of the metal detectors receive coil data.

To start such an Open Source Project requires standardizing on standards 
for the modules and the proposed standards have the project being based 
on GStreamer modules.  One of the most difficult questions in coming to 
the current proposed standards was whether to use  GTK+ or  QT.    There 
was a lot more related audio software using GTK+ but this appeared to be 
due to previous licensing problems that have now been fixed. 

The current proposed standards for this project and discussion on this 
can be found at

  http://humanise.org/demining/software

You will also find a brief analysis of most Linux open source audio 
software at http://humanise.org/demining/software-base.  This separates 
the software to those using GTK+ vs those that use QT.

You will also find analysis of standards suitable for basing the modules 
on at  http://humanise.org/demining/streaming-options
along with analysis of tools and environments at 
http://humanise.org/demining/environment-options and 
http://humanise.org/demining/ide

I don't consider myself to be either a Linux/Unix Guru or an Audio 
software Guru so the initial design of this is very much a learn as I go 
along.  I would now like to get some input on all of this from people 
who have more knowledge in these areas.

Comments including constructive criticism welcome either through this 
mailing list or, better still, on the Humanise.org website.

Thanks
   Ken Dawber
