Hello all,
The first official release of zita-ajbridge is now available at
<http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/downloads>.
Quoting the README:
This package provides two applications, zita-a2j and zita-j2a.
They allow to use an ALSA device as a Jack client, to provide
additional capture (a2j) or playback (j2a) channels.
Functionally these are equivalent to the alsa_in and alsa_out
clients that come with Jack, but they provide much better audio
quality. The resampling ratio will typically be stable within
1 PPM and change only very smoothly. Delay will be stable as
well even under worse case conditions, e.g. the Jack client
running near the end of the cycle.
You will also need the latest zita-resampler and zita-alsa-pcmi
libraries.
All feedback welcome.
Ciao,

Really interesting....
I'm wondering how your code could replace the "adapter" mechanism that I did
in JACK2 for that never worked fully reliably. Basically the "adapter" idea is a
bit more general in the sense that it aims at "adapting" streams in different
context: like network <==> Audio API (CoreAudio for OSX, ALSA for Linux, PortAudio
for Windows...), or several ALSA devices..etc..
(The adapters are also developed as "in server" clients, this make a bit more
easy to add them in a running session using "ladish" kind of studio management
approaches...)
How complex do you think it would be?
Thanks.
