Hello,
For firewire audio cards like the Presonus Firebox (or FA-101,
Quatafire, Phase 88):
Are the following features already supported by freeBoB or is it
possible that they will be supported somewhere in the future:
1) "zero-latency support" - Does freeBoB support the zero latency DSP
mixer to mix live input audio streams with the software output stream?
2) control panel compatibility - Can I set the different special
features in the software, like:
- +12 dB input level boost
- Choose clock source
Both mixer and control panel are not supported yet, and won't be in the
1.0 release. We are working on this for the next release.
I suspect that there will be a lot of progress when LAC07 appears at the
horizon ;)
3) audio patching and mixing - I suppose I can do everything with jack.
Audio IO with jack is supported.
4) typical latency - Is the smallest latency without xruns (fast enough
computer with real-time kernel) considerably different with any of these
devices? Any figures?
5 to 7ms roundtrip. Depends on the sample rate.
We are going to release Freebob 1.0 this week. As a matter of fact, 1.0
is already available for download, the only thing left to do is to write
a decent release note. I'll try and include a detailed feature list.
