[linux-audio-user] Jack module-playing fun

[janne halttunen]

Hi all,

despite of my hunt with google, I just couldn't find any module-player with jack-support.  So, I wrote a small script.  The xmp module-player allows for playing individual tracks from a module-file, and ecasound gives them out to jack.  Yeah, it is an ugly hack, (better would be jack-support to xmp) but it sort of works (though not perfectly: connecting ports is slow).

# python jmp.py --help                                 
xmp.py options:
usage: xmp.py [options] module-file    

    -b, --buffer     set buffersize 
    -r, --rate       set sample rate
    -c, --channels   override number of channels
    -l, --looping    loop module
    -n, --noconnect  don't connect jack-ports to alsa-playback
    -q, --quiet
    -v, --verbose


NOTE! external programs required:

Extended Module Player: http://xmp.sourceforge.net/
Ecasound: http://eca.cx/
