Hi Guys,
I thought I'd mention this project that's been going on in that bad bad windows
world to provide free wdm drivers for all emu10k based soundcards. It seems
they've made quite a good job at that. I've heard reports that it is working in
w2k with Cubase at 4ms latency with a standard sb-live soundcard (sound quality
not accounted for).
Though this is not really Linux related, there does not seem to be any source
for this driver, and so on. It would however be interesting to know how they've
crafted the driver to provide such good performance.
More releated to Linux is the bundled DSP compiler. It seems there is a number
of DSP effect algorithms bundled in the package that are made for the emu10k
processor. I don't know if the source to the effects in in it, but they have a
message board where one of the topics seems purely about using/programming the DSP.
The dsp algorithms, even the dsp-binaries, should be very interesting to test
with the emu10k in Linux, they _should_ be possible to use "of the shelf".
Oh, right! The site:
