<P><FONT size=2>A while back someone posted about the Agnula project to
create<BR>low-latency kernels based on Debian and Red Hat to support
professional<BR>sound processing.<BR>I had a quick look at the time but decided
I wasn't ready to invest in a<BR>dedicated sound PC. What I didn't notice at the
time was the quality of<BR>the documentation that has been produced for the
project by Dave Phillips.<BR><BR>I finally understand(ish) how ALSA, OSS, JACK
and LADSPA relate to one<BR>another. Have you noticed how they are all shouted?
I guess it's to be<BR>heard above the din.<BR><BR>I was particularly impressed
by the diagram at the bottom of this page<BR></FONT><A

<P>I've been playing with agnula a bit. And it's looking very
impressive. I don't think you neccesarily need a high spec machine to make
use of it. I need to understand the jack/ alsa relationship ( sounds like
a long lost uncle and Aunt ). Agreed, the tutorials look like an
excellent starting point and is probably my weekend project. </P>
<P>Because of it's low latency Characteristics I was thinking of adding Video
editing programs once i'd got used to it, although I'm not sure if this is the
way to go.</P>
<P>Let you awl know hows I get on. </P>
<P>Be seeing ya.</P>
