Re: [Consortium] Call for project updates

Daniel Wagner wrote: I would make it a little more verbose: The FreeBoB project will release its first public version this week. This release will support BeBoB based Firewire audio breakout boxes. Among these are for example the Roland/Edirol FA-101, Terratec Phase FW series and the Presonus FirePod/FireBox. A more elaborate list can be found on the FreeBoB website (freebob.sf.net). The support is not complete yet, but all the basic things are present: - jackd support - Analog I/O at all samplerates supported by the device - Digital I/O, depending on the format and firmware config. - MIDI support through ALSA-Sequencer Experimental support for: - multiple devices on the bus using external sync Not supported yet: - hardware zero-latency mixer control - extended device configuration controls (front/back switches, sync modes, ...) - native ALSA support (the alsa<->jack plugin works though) Minimal roundtrip audio loopback latencies are, depending on your system, around 5-10ms. We are already working very hard on the next version, which will give more control over the devices. This includes mixer support, software sync source selection, firmware download. It will also extend the support for combining multiple devices.
