let me know, if this is sufficient.
Yeah you should be fine. Folks have jack running on ARM11 (raspberry
pi), and as far as I understand Coretx-a8 has a form of parallelism
that allows it to execute instructions faster than the ARM11.
Unless you're planning to use external audio interfaces, and/or are
going for extremely low latencies you shouldn't have any trouble.
@Egor: bang on! I will read more about ecasound &
nama. Thanks a lot
for pointing out that to me.
Can I assume that both are popular, stable & actively developed?
No problem! Always happy to spread the console word.
Ecasound has been around for a while, has excellent features and is
still being actively developed. I use it quite a bit, and I'm sure
you'll find that it can do whatever it is that you desire, except for,
maybe, fly you to the moon.
I haven't used Nama too much, but I know that the author hangs out on
this list, and there are a number of grateful users who push all (or
at least a lot of) their audio through it.
Only thing about Nama is that I do believe you need at least a console
to run it.
Good luck!
