What I want to
do, is to use the resources I have to run multiple signal
generation and processing chains asynchronously, in parallel, and then
use the final audio-hardware-synchronized chain to resample them all
into one, perhaps using the Zita tools.
I think you may be confusing two different
concepts.
Running in parallel
running asynchronous processing You can run multiple independent synchronous processes
in parallel, which
is probably what you want. Using jack2 should allow that, but you have to
check the connection graph to make sure it is happening. The original
description you gave was not very detailed, are the Yoshimi instances just
connected to the jack output and that is all? Is there any stage where
both Yoshimi instances connect that would become the processing limit for
the period?
Each Yoshimi instance hits a separate input (thread) in Non-Mixer, this
is one of the things which has made things work as well as they are.
use the final
audio-hardware-synchronized chain to resample them all
into one, perhaps using the Zita tools.
Resampling will always add additional
latency. Having unsynchronized
streams that have to be synchronized will always add additional latency.
The zita-nj (network to jack) tools describe this very well in the man
page excerpt below.
