surely it requires libjack - and probably libc, too :)


Hi Fons,

Wow, that sounds great.

I'm curious why you've made a standalone client out of this, rather than
fixing netjack. Is there any chance that this could become an internal
client (required for forwarding jack-transport)?

What is the use-case of directly resampling for network-transmission?
Are you running two jackd's at different sample-rates? And if not,
how does that differ from using netjack and resampling locally with
zita-ajbridge?

Could it be used to bridge two jackd's on localhost with different SR?

Why is it limited to 64 channels only?

Are there any plan to add support for jack-midi ports?

Does it set jack port-latencies properly (after resampling)?

I suppose I am interested in testing :)

Cheers!
