I somehow can't imagine that would work very well, if at all ... Anyway, I've been working a bit with audacity compiled with portaudio-v19 support. In that worldview audacity uses portaudio and portaudio uses jackd and it more or less works. I've had some weird behavior and crashes on my development box, but haven't sorted out if it's a wxwindows/wxwidgets thing or a jack/portaudio thing, or possibly just some other weirdness specific to the messy state of that box right now. On our rivendell workstations we've got people testing both rivendell and audacity via jackd and so far I haven't heard any negative reports. -- Eric Dantan Rzewnicki | Linux Audio Developer and Sysadmin Technical Operations Division | Radio Free Asia 2025 M Street, NW | Washington, DC 20036 | 202-530-4900 CONFIDENTIAL COMMUNICATION This e-mail message is intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
