This sounds really quite interesting Robin, I hope your patches will
receive further testing. Reliably working A3 with MIDI and video would
be a pretty good thing. Today I've seen that in the area of video GUI
solutions aren't working that well, but the tools are there. Everything
under one hood would be a useful thing.

Wow, Ardour with MIDI sequencer and for video sync. I can't believe that
this is real. Am I awake?
it's real. still somewhat alpha but it's been usable and was announced
~1 year ago on ardour-dev. Paul said he'll look into merging this
endeavour around ardour-3.1 but there's no promise to that.
I've demoed it at the LAC2011 and Dave has written about it:
http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/ecology-ardour previously.
Any chance that it will work with 4 GB RAM (who
cares for RAM, it's
cheap, but I can't buy a new mobo and CPU etc.), AMD 2.1 GHz dual-core,
HDSPe AIO or does this need some kind of super computer to do an
extensive production?
sure. it's not too heavy on RAM, 128MB should do; but the more the
better (video frame-cache). and you should have a >1.6GHz dual-core CPU
for decoding PAL-DVDs in real-time.
It's also possible to run 'icsd' (the video-decoding server) distributed
on a cluster.
I would like to remove the OT for the subject,
because this isn't OT. I
never have given up to get rid off MIDI jitter and I get rid of it, but
I have given up to get a workstation that would enable all I would like
to have.
On what hardware was it successfully used? What distro?
amd64/x86-64 (GNU/Linux & OSX 10.6), i386 (Linux/win32) and PPC (OSX 10.5).
I develop and use it in on Debian. Patrick Shirkey has tested it IIRC on
Fedora/CCRMA, Dave Phillips' test system looks like Ubuntu; and Pau
Arumi has reported some bugs and success as well on Fedora.
'icsd' is pretty much disto and OS agnostic. However, Ardour3 only runs
on GNU/Linux and requires a few tewaks for OSX.
ciao,
