[linux-audio-user] resend: more about sync (was: rosegarden/ardour, ardour/adat, etc.)

Hi all. I've been trolling and testing various sync methods and I've noticed some questions popping up. Is it just me or is the linux audio situation a bit incomplete at this point with regard to information on that subject? It may just be that most of the programs are still struggling to develope sync techniques (MTC, MMC, ADAT sync, SMPTE, jack transport, etc. etc.), but also is there a relative lack of info/tutorials/etc? The reason I ask, is because not only for my sake, but for the sake of the community, I'd sure be glad to try and make a dent in that, maybe document some toots, or whatnot. of course, this all has to be in sync (no pun intended ;) ) with the development of the capabilities... I wish I had time to sort of type out something more detailed - I'll get to that sometime here (running short on time right this minute :) ) one basic hole I see at least in my understanding, is what the HECK is jack_transport, how does it fit in, etc.? that's ONE - there are lots of holes for me *laugh* another curious one is ecasound? it's the veteren around here in a lot of ways - does it sync to anything? ok well I'll wait for thoughts and then as soon as I can get a chance, I'll write something longer and sort of put out to y'all what I've found out, and see what holes can be filled - cheers (sorry for any unclarity in this email, unclarity is why I'm starting this thread! :) ) - Aaron www.nquit.com
