Waiting on the Jack callback issue to make a pre-release. Anyway,
basically I need a name for this thing, and any (UI) suggestions anyone
has.
Eventually it will be a combined jack/alsa patch bay, so it'd be nice if
the name reflected both jack and alsa, but I'd rather not have "Linux"
in the title.
Any interface ideas (other than the color of the modules ;) ) are
welcome... and if anyone has ideas for an elegant
automatic-module-placement solution, I'd love to hear them. Right now
they're just randomly placed. (Are there known algorithms in graph
theory for this sort of thing?)
A simple idea would be to place them randomly initially, and thereafter
always place them where the user put them the last time. My guess is
that a typical user will have the same applications running from session
to session, and would prefer if they where positioned at the same place
every time.
