If that is what he means by live, then I do not think alsa or jack are appropriate. There is too much latency. Ie, sound gets recorded in chunks and fed out in chunks. You then need to read in, process and ship out each timeslice in the time it takes for that timeslice to come by. Even if you are just doing stuff below 1KHz I suspect that latency would be a real problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
