Kidding aside, this may prove to be so ubiquitous that it will quickly
overshadow all other implementations. It's the MAS audio server that is
going to be implemented into the X server itself and will be
network-transparent.

no sign of that. this is the same old design. sigh. no sample sync,
the whole thing is still based on the idea of applications deciding

What we'd need is a global solution to audio server space.
The problem is that none exists (and jack is not an exception) and we're
doomed to suffer still for long time if we're not able to understand
that.
I hope that my point is now clear, at least to you.
I've thought more about your pro callback arguments and you've convinced
me that it may be a smarter solution for some class of applications.
Despite that I strongly think that an audio server that not permit in

will never achieve the driving role we'd need.

Well, given that Ardour, amsynth, alsaplayer, and freqtweak all use jack,
I'm pretty happy with how it is. It doesn't need to gain any more

if linux developers continue to work with this traditional model, then
yes, i think you are right and its a deep problem.
but i see a brighter future because i think that slowly more and more
developers will choose to adopt the same models they would be required
to use on windows or macos. this will happen, even if its just because
the developers will be coming from windows/macos :)
besides, i think that the take-home message from so many of the
discussions about audio servers is that there is no truly universal
solution. what's needed are acceptable ways to move data between
"worlds". the "world" (the non-MOTU) MAS represents is very different
from the one JACK represents, but its quite possible to build a
gateway between them. this does perpetuate the different programming
models, but i think we just have to accept this. mac os x is the only
system to have gotten this right so far, and i see no way we can do
what they've done because nobody has enough control to impose a single
solution.
i suspect that even if someone stepped forward with a full linux
implementation of the AU/CoreAudio API, there would be just as much
resistance to it as there is to any other proposed "universal"
solution. developers for mac os x don't have the choice. alas, we do.

I'm not quite ready to toot my PortAudio horn yet, only because v19 is
not yet ready. Here's what I will say now: I think PortAudio has the
potential to be the unifying force in the fragmented Linux audio world.
Imagine being able to write to an API as simple and well-designed as
this: <http://www.portaudio.com/docs/v19-doxydocs/portaudio_8h.html>
Now imagine that linking against this library will give you access to
OSS, ALSA, JACK, and whatever other APIs come along *all in a single
build*. Imagine getting the same performance as if you had written to
these APIs directly. And imagine having your audio i/o be portable to
Windows and Mac with just a recompile.
This is becoming a reality. I have spent the last week rewriting
Audacity's audio i/o to use PortAudio v19 and simultaneously improving
my PortAudio ALSA implementation to be good enough to support it. The
results have been satisfying.
I foresee resistance from people who perceive portability APIs as a
compromise, as having poor performance. This is simply not the case.
No one would accuse JACK of having poor performance, though it works by
wrapping other APIs. The truth is that the combination of a
well-designed API and careful implementation can yield wrapper APIs that
perform just as well as programming directly to the underlying API.
A great deal of thought has gone into the PortAudio API, you can read a
record of the proposals that went into v19 at
<http://www.portaudio.com/docs/proposals/index.html>
I am interested to hear responses to this. Once PortAudio v19 is
released, would you all as application authors be willing to adopt it in
your programs? If so, why not? In my opinion, the only group of
applications that would not benefit from using PortAudio are those that
are so closely tied to JACK that they don't make sense outside of a JACK
graph.

I've never really thought of any other way to use ALSA or OSS...
Audiality does it, although the current (unreleased) version adds an
"interesting" twist with the new I/O layer... It allows interfacing
with both callback APIs and read()/write() APIs, while still having
only one master engine callback, and block oriented read()/write()
write callbacks for "drivers". Sort of weird. Might have done

Would be cool if even more platforms were supported, but OTOH, in the

(The only game to use it so far, my XKobo port "Kobo Deluxe", runs on
some 10 platforms. I don't know for sure if it does audio on the

This is simply not the

it works by wrapping other APIs. The truth is that the combination
of a well-designed API and careful implementation can yield wrapper
APIs that perform just as well as programming directly to the

I would say SDL (the graphics stuff) is a perfect demonstration of
this. The API is as simple as it gets, it runs on *loads* of
different platforms, and it's just about as fast as it gets on most
of them. Still improvements to be made (supporting some more h/w
acceleration APIs, for example), but I think my glSDL - a
proof-of-concept implementation of the 2D blitting API on top of
OpenGL - demonstrates that the API fits pretty much anything. (OpenGL
is *very* far from a raw framebuffer...)

I would, definitely, since extreme portability is a major design goal
for most of my projects. Anything that works well on more than one
platform is of interest, basically. (As is anything that works
*really* well on Linux, of course, since that's where I'll be running
my software most of the time. :-)
If so, why not?
Indeed.
In my opinion, the only
group of applications that would not benefit from using PortAudio
are those that are so closely tied to JACK that they don't make
sense outside of a JACK graph.
That's not Audiality - which doesn't even have JACK support yet. :-/
OTOH, I'll need a nice replacement for the ALSA sequencer, if the
thing is to be usable for anything but music and SFX playback on
other platforms. Currently, the most "portable" control API I have is
OSS rawmidi... *heh*
I've considered hacking native Win32 MIDI support (the "new" MIDI API
with timestamps), but... let's just say I don't care enough for
Windows to spend time on that. (I'm in the middle of the final step
away from using Windows for music at all. Just need to hack
Rosegarden a little, and it'll fit the bill, I think...)

I know practically nothing about MIDI. I would encourage you to

to know, since I know basically nothing about it. It appears to have an

Yeah - but AFAIK, I was first! ;-) Although this engine is the first

become an RTLinux based audio engine, but never got beyond a driver
API for porting Linux drivers to RTL and some stuff related to that.
Both were dropped as a result of superior platforms showing up.

I'm the lead developer on the MAS project. Thanks for checking it out!
Here's my position: we didn't limit the architecture in any way that'd
restrict it from being used pro-audio applications; however, the necessary
stuff isn't exposed in the API now. It's all in the core, and if it
isn't, it will be. I'm pretty confident we didn't screw this part up.
Also, I hate the stream abstraction for audio. We're going to provide a
callback-style "pull" API to compliment the standard push API, and add
support for shared memory, and support for multiple threads in the server.
We planned for all this. It just, you know... takes a while.
That said, I think JACK is very cool. You guys had a different need -- to
make multi-client pro-audio possible on Linux, and I think you've done it.
We're coming at the audio (and time) problem from a different direction.
Our goal is to serve the users who want audio to follow their remote X
session and who want to make more than one sound at the same time, and to
do it in a way that's higher quality, lower latency, and easier than what
was possible before. And somehow, to do it such that the basic
architecture, without all the "other stuff(TM)", can support high-end and
pro applications.
So, yeah, we have all kinds of plug-ins that do actual work and mess with
the sound, like sample rate conversion and CODECs. But, my feeling is, if
you don't need 'em, don't use 'em. Ultimately, if you know you've got
N
clients all at 96/24, you can ditch the sample rate converter.
Anyway... we're working on documentation and more releases, and the actual
"soundserver" API. And I'm looking forward to seeing how MAS and JACK can
interoperate.

Mike,
Thanks for stopping by.
MAS looks exciting. I have to interface every day with engineers in
India. We need the ability to run applications remotely and share our work.
I look forward to seeing MAS help us out in that area. Currently we seem to
be most limited by Linux browsers not working with software developed to do
this on Windows, but things are getting better, and really integrated sound
and video in X would probably help. I hope to hear that over the next year
MAS will be part of that solution.

be fine for playing mp3s though.

MAS itsself its not suitable for RT audio*, but I
suggested that we might
want some MAS<->JACK interfaces for network transparent audio, and left a
bussiness card, they seemed enthusiastic, but I never heard back from the
MAS guys.
Yes, I spoke to them too at LinuxWorld and thought that a MAS driver for
Jack would be a pretty neat thing, if one didn't care so much about
network latency.
