Re: [LAD] [PATCH] jack dbus and logs improvement

Dave Robillard &lt;dave(a)drobilla.net&gt; writes: logs patch has taken some direct directions from Paul that I followed with fate that this will ease its way to jack trunk (pre 1.0). Paul and others in charge, what you think? Apps like patchage and qjackctl access the multiconfig object with interface (quick draft): * get_presets() - return available presets names * new_preset() - add new preset * remove_preset() - remove existing preset * set/get of preset settings: engine options, selected driver, driver options of selected driver That object will presist its settings in XML configuration file. I've made example one available here: http://nedko.arnaudov.name/soft/jack/jack.xml or here: http://triton.atia.com/nedko/soft/jack/jack.xml This file is not acessed by control apps directly. Object methods are used instead (see above). Also either autosave mode (settings persistence) and manual save may be viable. What will get implemented will probably be shaped by people in charge of existing control apps (qjackctl,patchage). So put your opinions please. This is the plan. We will need that for lash on dbus too (I want lash to control jack server not vice versa). libjack interface is still available as alternative method (dbus is not available on MacOSX by default). Speaking of MacOSX, I saw that there is fink package for D-Bus. It may be worth for someone with Tiger/Leopard JACK audio setup to check how well fink dbus package works with jackdbus. -- Nedko Arnaudov <GnuPG KeyID: DE1716B0>
