Only if all you want to do is just play it. For anything else (recording, mixing,...) it wouldn't matter much if the sound is produced by hardware or software, you need some way to connect things and manage those connections. Probably the simplest way is to use a session manager such as NSM. This supports the way things are traditionally done in Linux audio, by making and changing Jack connections depending on what you want to do. There is another way (which I prefer) to organise a soft studio, more similar to what can be done when using a big hardware digital mixer. This means that everything is permanently connected to the mixer, and all those connections - both analog and digital, are fixed. In a software environment that means that Jack connections are fixed and have to be set up only once, e.g. by a script. Large digital mixers usually have no dedicated inputs and outputs, any one of them can be routed to/from any part of the mixer. It's this that allows physical connections to be fixed - all routing is done just be reconfiguring the mixer. I don't know of any (publicly available) Linux mixer app that allows this, but it would certainly be my preferred way to do things. -- FA _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list -- linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to linux-audio-user-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
