[linux-audio-user] jack module player v0.1b

[janne halttunen]

Hello all,

here we go, another release of the hackish jack module player.


What's it about?

JMP is a MOD-player outputting each channel individually to jack.  This is achieved using xmp module-player's channels soloing feature, and ecasound's multitracking abilities.


New features in v0.1b

-channel-naming: now you can see channels in jack with the names you assign to them in commandline

-sticking channels together for better performance: maybe you don't need EVERY channel showing separately in jack

-better error recovery: should leave no dead processes hanging around

(NOTE: kills all xmp processes on exit, be careful! ecasound is left in peace..)
