jackmaster

A "Master Console" for the jack-audio-connection-kit

Features

• 100% pure C
• Low CPU usage
• Session management via LASH
• Fader automation via ALSA sequencer
• Number of inputs: unlimited (actually, it depends on things like available memory, the architecture and compiler. Lets just say: enaugh)
• Crosstalk: 0.0 dB
• Dynamics range: somewhere in the vicinity of 1529.23 dB

Bugs

huh?

Minor shortcomings

• When an active channel is rerouted, you might hear a click (although I never noticed such a thing, I know it must be there occasionally)
• Ugly icon (at least, it is recognisable)
• Number of inputs/subs and screen layout can only be changed by recompiling
• Only stereo ports
• No aux-sends/returns yet
• No (LADSPA-)insert effects (yet)

Installation

Just the usual

./configure
make
make install (as root, if you can't write in /usr/local)

Thanks to

• The JackEQ folks, for gtkmeter and some code fragments
• The XMMS crowd, for the config-file stuff
• The GTK bunch, for their wonderful shiny toolkit
• RMS and Linus, for the obvious reasons
• Albert Gore, for funding the internet development
