Sorry I guess I didn't make myself very clear there. I don't mean that I
wan't to make an audio ap and would do the audio stuff myself, I'd
definitely use Jack for that. I'm making a step sequencer to drive midi gear
and csound synths. So the timing I'm concerned about is the engine of the
sequencer outputing midi notes and csound events via pipes.
I was also planning on keeping it in just C so I could port it to
microcontrollers like the Microchip 18F series.
Thanks
Iain
jackit.sf.net is your friend. forget about learning
threading,
scheduling issues, etc. forget about understanding configuring audio
interfaces. imagine writing a simple program that just does the DSP
part of things and no more (it can do graphics if you want it to).
