Questions on JACK2

[Stef Bidi]

Hello!  I'll go ahead and get right to the point, keep in mind I have a tendency to be long-winded, so stay with me.

 

I've recently decided to rewrite the sound subsystem for the GNUstep GUI library (www.gnustep.org).  I had a looked a JACK a few weeks ago, but decided against it because it didn't support the same platforms (Windows, OS X, etc).  Well, taking a closer look, I see that JACK2 does support most (if not all) platforms that GNUstep does.

 

My questions:

1) I guess the most important, what's the status on JACK2?  I see on www.jacksound.org that version 1.9.2 was just released, when is a 2.0 release planned?  Is there a roadmap of sorts?

2) Is JACK2 going to keep support for the C API?  C++ is not an option.  On that note, is the API going to change between JACK1 and JACK2?

 

I skimmed through the documentation and I liked what I saw, API seems simple enough!  I have some more questions just can't remember what they are now.

 

PS: I haven't signed up to the mailing list, so please include me on the "To" field.

 

Thanks

Stefan

  No plan... but hopefully not to far in the future.

No API stay in pure C.

JACK2 has a an aditional so called "control API" (to better control  
the server), but this does not change anything for regular clients.
