[linux-audio-dev] Using Jack for "Control Volt" signals?

Sorry if this is the wrong place, please tell me where to ask if it is. I'm wondering whether it will be possible, ( or if anyone is doing something similar ) to use Jack to pass control signals between audio apps. I think it would be extremely useful to be able to send the equivalent of PD wires or Csound krate variables back and forth between different apps as if the were Control Voltages, allowing the functionality of outboard CV modulars with tools from more than one family. I am also interested in the possibility of extending the same to outboard hardware, ie having control signals generated and transformed between apps and then sent out as actual CV signals to outboard modular components. I've been working on a real time step sequencer in Csound that allows sophisticated real time sequencing of control signals in the fashion of step sequencers and would like to know how I can perhaps integrate my work with others. I am really just a Csound programmer, and not a C developer ( yet ) so please excuse me if this is noise on the list. ; ) Also, does or will Jack allow signals to be lower bit depth or sample rate when full audio resolutions is not necessary, or will it always be full audio? I'm just thinking that maybe it would be good to be able to pass control signals with less bandwith, but of course that would introduce other complications. Is there any limit to the number of ins and outs Jackable? I guess to make modular synthesis between various apps one would start using a *LOT* of them. Thanks, Iain Duncan
