How about doing
this with the verse protocol and daemon or in the same
spirit?. That way, any editor that supports this protocol, could edit
a live region.
Thats an insanely large project you are proposing. :-)
not really. most win32 samplers have an 'edit in ___' button which just does
something dumb like 'wavelab.exe /project/path/.sdf34liswesdf.wav' ..
..DAAP is dead simple. a tiny http daemon sends the audiofiles + metadata in XML..ive only
seen it uesd for mp3 players but being able to shuttle a file between wave editors /
loopers / DAWs without having to be conscious of its physical location on disk and/or
navigating a different file dialog in each would be nice..
Hacking snd into ardour should only require a days work or something because snd can be
compiled as a gtk widget.
