Various people have tried to provide this out of the box and centralised functionality already but it seems no one has the the ark that AL users are conditioned for. I think this discussion helps some of us to get a good overview of what people are still missing. Time stretching and beat matching have been worked on with varying results over the years. I find it interesting that so many people rely on these tools so greatly. However it's clear there is a market for software that deals cleanly with this issue which is not being sufficiently handled yet by the various Linux apps. Maybe it's a good idea to also discuss the best examples we have in the Linux apps collection for the above functionality to see where we have missed the mark? I find it blatently ignorant for some of the posters to say that the jack model is not and never gonna work. That's just outright rude. For many of us JACK works very well already. If someone doesn't like the modular approach and requires a monolithic interface they have various options available. No need to write off jack and all the hard work that has been put into the apps that work within the modular framework.
