I'm putting together a new system and had thought of using Windows and Mac as guest VM systems under KVM for running things that don't exist for Linux and/or don't work well with WINE. And I wanted to see if anybody had tried routing the VM audio ins / outs to JACK rather than directly to an audio sink. Wanted to see if anybody had seriously tried this before I gave it a go. -Reuben _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
