Sorry if I have overlooked anything. But I have browsed this mailing list and the development list, and the jack mailing list, and various home-pages.
And I am confused about what patch and which version of pd to use if I want to jackify pd.
I would prefer a callback based version, like the jack_0_35_0_cb branch version in the pure-data cvs. Is this one okey, or is there a newer one?
And, big question, how do I download it without taking each file manually? I dont know enough about cvs.
Knowing cvs is important for free software developers. Take the time and learn it, it will be very useful.
The reason for wanting a callback based patch is because I'm planning to make a general jack port external. And it wont work very good with a non-callback based patch, I think.
I do not understand why you need a jack enabled pd if you want to write a jack port external. What will the jack port external do, if not replacing the solution that exists now ?
The problem with the callback based patch is that pd will run in the callback entirely, and pd by itself is not always Realtime capabable. That is why I decided to make the buffered jack I/O the default. With the callback based version you can kill the whole jack chain, with the buffered version you will just get a click when pd GUI load gets too high.
Is there such an external allready by the way?
Not that I know of. Is there a need for it ? I am not sure if I would recommend the development of such an external. There are so many more useful things to do, and we are in need of people who have the time to do that.
