Leonard paniq Ritter sent me a nifty patch for hearnet

really dig it, and I finally got around to incorporating the patch and
releasing a new version. Here's what paniq has to say about it:
changed code so that it uses 32-voice polyphony and plays bridges /
chromatic orders.
as an effect, you get very harmonic sounds if packet sizes on a site
are the same, and quite weird stuff if packet sizes vary.
Go get it and see how much cooler it sounds!

Now, this brings up a JACK question. I'm on 2.6.13-rt13 (desktop) using
PAM with the rtlimits patch. JACK starts up happily in realtime mode,
and JACK apps I start as me play together nicely. But hearnet must be
run as root to be able to sniff the network, and therefore it can't
connect to the JACK server. Is there anything I can do in hearnet code,
or anywhere else, so that I can have it talk to my existing user-started
jackd?
well... you could use www.sf.net/projects/netjack to run a synced jackd as root. and let
hearnet connect to that jackd.
note, that i did not test running 2 jackds at once but i think this
should work for different users.
as netjack works very good on a 100Mbps net it should work perfect over
the loopback. building netjack is not straight forward yet (ie
buildsystem does not build the jack_driver, because a jack_driver needs
some headers which are not installed by jack. so you should build the
driver inside you jack builddir and peek how a driver is built.
priority of fixing this is rather low currently.
i will implement double package send and other workarounds for package
loss first.
oh... and this should be a really strange feedback if hearnet transforms
the audiopackets into audio which is transported through the
audiopackets....
