Hey!
I would like to ask. I did see a demonstration and it looks
really nice.
However, am I right in understanding that currently only several
apps
are really supported? And if this is true - is there an option
of adding
support for more apps?
The API is explained on this website:
<
http://non.tuxfamily.org/nsm/API.html>
Developers can build patches for their software to support NSM, as
they can do for JS and Ladish. At the moment only non-daw, non-seq,
non-mixer and yoshimi (patch available).
Atm their are more applications with JS support (Ladish supports
ladi, JS and NSM):
<
http://tangostudio.tuxfamily.org/en/packages/unstable>
But the development of JackSession API has more or less stopped
because of the fact that Torben has no time for Linuxaudio atm. Also
it's not realistic to expect many efforts from Paul in this area.
Moreover, NSM seems to have features JS lacks, but which could be a
plus when it comes to workflow (stop session, copy session, more
easy to add apps without session support into the session, possible
to add apps without JACK support to the session).
Also some people (Fons, Liles, Nedko) think that JS has it's
limitations and therefore they don't support it (Fons, Liles). NSM
could gain wider support probably.
At first sight, NSM looks to me more promising then JS does, e.g. it
has more chance to become really useful and to get broad support in
the community (from the 'modular diehards'). But this is just a
personal feeling/ thought. If this is really the case, depends on
the view of the LAD community.
