Hi,
We are considering using PortAudio for Linux hardware support (and
Windows/Mac as well). What's the word on the quality, reliability,
ease-of-programming, latency and performance in Linux?
it works. its development seems to be an issue. it will not fix any of
the issues that you'd otherwise have to tackle on linux.
Can you say more about that last sentence? I'm not quite getting it.
however, i'm puzzled: you guys are already
running on linux - what are
you using now, and why the switch? cross-platform?
Yes, cross platform. I'm investigating Windows/MacOS support. We've got
our own portability layer, but it's only really implemented for Linux.
BTW - I looked at JACK, but a quick google scan suggests that its not
quite ready for prime time in Windows.
For what it's worth; Jack on Windows is used for providing sound
in two permanent art installations (
).
One of them has been running for over two years now. The machines
are rebooted each night, and the oldest one is still using a version of
jack for windows released in 2007.
We've had no problem with jack for windows.
