[LAD] Code drops: ivory and proaudio-sound-control

[Gabriel M. Beddingfield]

Friends,

In the course of the year I did a couple of applications that I'm pretty 
proud of.  For some good reasons, I've withheld releasing them publicly 
until now:

Ivory - a multi-touch, virtual MIDI keyboard controller

     This was originally intended as a proof of concept, but
     was so much darn fun that I pushed it to a beta-level
     application.

     I don't recall if it works with a mouse or not... but
     it's not nearly as cool with a mouse.

proaudio-sound-control - one-stop shopping for Jack and Alsa control

     This is a mash-up of QJackCtl and QasMixer.  It discards
     the GIMP-like multi-window interface of QJackCtl (which
     is a major pain on a mobile device).  It also adds direct
     access to hardware mixer controls by re-casting QasMixer
     as a widget inside QJackCtl.  Say way you want about the
     visual style of QasMixer, but it's the most complete GUI
     interface to ALSA I've found.

CAVEAT EMPTOR: This code is released AS-IS, and I have no plans to 
maintain them.  It's released in the hope that someone can benefit from 
them.[1]

DEMO:  There's a video here that demos these on the Indamixx 2 (at the 
MeeGo conference last spring)

If you're in a hurry, fast-forward to about 1:13.  It mostly demos 
Ivory... but you also get brief views of proaudio-sound-control while 
Tony is switching windows.

[1] For proaudio-sound-control... if someone decides to continue this
     concept, you'll want to have a chat with me first.  It works, but
     is implemented in an unmaintainable way.
