Hi Ray,
KDE 4 is superior. Phonon + Xine (default) let's
you use Jack as
primary device.
Yeah, it looks nicer (unless you're on a netbook) but I've simply
found it significantly less stable, with too many irritating bugs
hanging around in core apps.
I do understand that the direction they're heading means it's
going to be better - one day - and that the audio fundamentals
being re-engineered now are going to make a vast improvement
too.
As I mentioned in another post I just made, I'm still getting
weird performance issues using jack as my primary device,
and this is on a very grunty, and quite relaxed, machine.
And aren't you looking for a variation of
"repeat A-B()"?
Probably - though I'm not hip with the nomenclature yet. ;)
An interface where I could press a || style button that paused
advancement of the track but didn't pause the audio output, is
what I'm really after. In my old age I've become much more of
a 'give me a button' rather than 'give me a mechanism' kind of guy.
cheers,
Jedd.
