Hi all,
Sorry for the annoying NEWB question
I'm starting an opensource project for a softsynth
I'd like to make it portable as possible so I'm using g++
I tried googling around for about two weeks now and can't really make up my mind
OSS/ALSA/JACK/PORTAUDIO etc...
they all look like they have their pros and cons
I need :
* lowest latency possible (latency kills!)
* easy development (I'm a decent coder)
* portability (preferably other os's as well - os/x or even god forbid win)
* Nice to have - easily deal with many different (standard) audio cards without actually having to develop drivers for them

I've looked at the code of some very cool OS softsynths and I each has it's own choice
What would you guys recommed?
Thanks
Jonathan
