[LAD] First release of jack_export

Jack_export is a simple command line app I've been using to do multichannel exports from Ardour2 sessions. Of course A3 provides this OOTB, but I will maintain jack_export to provide (if necessary) formats and options that A3 doesn't or won't support. This release does not include resampling, the sample rate of the exported file will be the current Jack sample rate. To use, proceed as follows: 1. (Optional) In Ardour, create a bus (not a track) named 'export', and containing all the signals you want to export. You can skip this step, in that case you'll have to connect Ardour outputs to jack_export inputs manually after step 2. 2. Run jack_export. See --help for options. The --chan option is mandatory. E.g. jack_export --chan 16 my16channelfile.wav Jack_export will connect to the 'export' bus if it exists, and print Ready ... If you did not create an 'export' bus in Ardour, now connect Ardour outputs to jack_export inputs manually. 3. Do a normal export in Ardour, using some dummy name for the exported file. As soon as Jack goes into freewheeling mode, jack_export will print Recording ... When the export terminates, jack_export will print a completion message reporting the number of seconds recorded.

It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities. (Cory Doctorow)
