It is entirely replaced by using a h/w specific utility (such as hdspmixer or envy2ctl) to control signal routing. The one benefit that it has is that it means that JACK *applications* can control that kind of routing, which early in the life of Ardour seemed kind of important. It no longer seems very important. If you're already using a h/w specific utility for this purpose, then don't use -H. > PS: likewise what does the "-M, --hwmeter" option do -- again I don't > see any difference between this being on or off. And how would it know it doesn't really do anything. It was a placeholder for functionality that has never been implemented because (a) so few cards implement it and (b) the meter is basically useless for any app other than a h/w specific utility app (which has other mechanisms available to get the meter values). --p _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
