New subject: [linux-audio-dev] JACK data transfers

24 Jan 2007

On a side note there is a discussion on the freebob list of whether to add a 
control api to Jack or just for freebob.

 I'm wondering if JACK is suitable to transfer non-audio data beetween
 applications (my particular case is to transfer control data to
 processing plugins). Is that "naturally" possible, is it an hack or is
 it impossible at all? 
 You could encode control data in the audio stream, or build a bespoke  
 JACK that add additional data types, or you could use the nascent  
 JACK-MIDI stuff.

 You could also look at OSC, which, depending on your syncronisation  
 needs could be a better fit.

  And another thing (I'm too lazy to check it
out myself :-P): does jack
 transfers data by copying or uses something like shared memory or
 whatever? 
 It uses shared memory where possible.
