FreeLists / openbeos / [openbeos] Haiku audio questions.

[Kevin Ar18 <kevinar18@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

For better or worse, I am looking to put together a team to develop audio 
applications for Haiku (free source, non-copyleft, if you care).

In the process, a number of questions have come up as to Haiku's status 
regarding audio and it's performance.

For example, how does the audio latency compare to some of the work that has 
been done on Linux?  How does it compare to the BeOS?


Does Haiku have anything comparable to Jack, which connects all Jack enabled 
devices with low latency?

What about libraries like libfft and libsndfile?

Although not asked by others, I wonder if the devs of Haiku would ever be open 
to the recommendations from a team of audio developers if it ever were 
determined that it would actually be better to gut the current audio system in 
exchange for an even better one (the current devs wouldn't have to code it all, 
of course :) but I'm speaking more from the point of view of a willingness to 
break backwards compatibility if something better could be done)?


BTW, should I make a post here about the what I had in mind for an audio team?

Thanks,
Kevin
