[LAU] question re: Minicomputer synth

[M-.-n]

Even tho the approach is not 'out there' (as it seems quite a bit of 
linux programs use this client / server approach) I have the feeling 
it's the kind of details that could pull off users from adopting linux 
as a music platform. If you plan on trying a synth, you'd want to see 
it's face right ? It's kind of the same as the jackd/jackstart/qjackctl 
issue. When I tryed it first, I got really confused by all of them. 
Actually, I still didn't get the jackstart/jackd difference, my eee 
seems to need jackstart, my ubuntu install doesn't even  have one.
 
In my views, a single executable would be a lot better, and if anybody 
wants to run it without a GUI, give them a command-line option. Sure 
that will mean your main executable will depend on user interface libs 
but i don't see anybody wanting to run the synth without wanting to 
tweak it at some point so the libs will be needed anyway....

my 2 cents :)
