Not yet, its not quite ready for its first release yet. As sf's CVS is a bit messed up at the moment we could put out interrim releases, but I can't as my external connectivity is up the wall this morning. > Can Jamin load an audio file without having Jack running?

JAMin cant currently run without jack, the i/o + processing code is very complicated and making it work for i/o systems in addition to JACK would make it even worse. The idea is that you play the audio from a jack transport enabled player (eg ardour, ecasound or alsaplayer) and control the transport stuff from jamin. That doesn't work yet, but Jack O'Q. is working on it. This means that you can link jamin to your ardour (or insert name of favourite multitrack editor) session and make individual level changes to source tracks, rather than messing with EQ in the mastering stage. Several of us think this is the Right ThingTM and should be encoruaged. jamin may grow the ability to write files out OTOH, for when you dont want to suck it back into your multitrack, and I think the eventual idea is to make loading a simple wav file via a jack file player pretty transparent. - Steve
