There's an experimental patch against the 2.4.0
release tarball at
<http://www.graggrag.com/?q=node/19>.
I've restructured the audio and midi drivers, and added Alsa audio. It
builds with multiple audio/midi options, nominate what to actually use
via command line parameters. The build options and default choices are
set as per normal in Makefile.inc.
If any mildly adventurous zyn enthusiast cared to try a build && run, I'd
appreciate 25 words or less on the experience. At the moment I'm mostly
interested in jack audio/midi performance.
The patch applies from the ZynAddSubFX-2.4.0/ directory, then off to src/
to edit Makefile.inc and build as usual.
In the spirit of Yoshimi I have battled the monster.

random notes ...
- the samplerate and buffer size reported by jack are now used by zyn. Alsa
& OSS audio still rely on zyn settings or command line parameters.
- initialization of Master moved from the constructor to Master::Init(). Apart
from enabling the jack thing, this hints at possibilities for re-initializing
without restarting the app. Re-init audio, re-init Master, and act like
nothing's wrong. Haven't thought too much about how to put that together
though.
- the jack midi remains a total contradiction of the fundamental principles
of Jack midi :-(. I think there's potential for conformance, but for now
I'll plead a case for special dispensation.
- builds with g++ 4.2 (for me at least)
- less experimental perhaps, but little mushroom clouds are still quite
possible.
cheers. Cal
