[linux-audio-user] Jack/LADSPA/RT-mixer-software?

[Aleksandr Koltsoff]

Hello

And very many thanks for all the c-port2000 answers, it's been some time that 
I've encountered this friendly mailing list :-).

I'm looking for some simple software to accomplish the following:
- do realtime monitoring(VU) and mixing
- output mixed data for headphones-monitoring (using same card, I have the 
infamous st-audio rig, on which I didn't manage to get _any_ of the MIDI 
ports to work)
- optionally route some of the input channels trough LADSPA plugins

A Gtk+2 GUI would be much preferred to anything else.

Has anyone seen such a beast? If not, how does this sound:
- a jack client that will get the input data
- will do the mixing and drive the stuff trough ladspa
- output result using jack (this should be possible, only I skimmed trough 
some jack-related docs, difficult to get handle on it)
- display VU/implement GUI for levels using GTK+ (2.x).

Does anyone see any architectural problems with this approach? I'd guess that 
implementing mixing using a jackd plugin would be more efficient, but is it 
worth it and how to connect the controls to the GUI?
