And I'm probably one of the major culprits. As far as I'm concerned, that's not going to change. For me a Jack app is just a 'system plugin'. There is simply no plugin host that offers the same features and flexibility by far - not even Ardour. Think about what a plugin host is doing. It just offers alternative interfaces to sound, MIDI, networking, GUIs, etc. etc. It just copies services that are already provided by the system. As a way to 'hide' the system and make things cross-platform that makes sense. In any other way it doesn't. Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities.
