This is no longer > true, or what? no it's true. Editing , montage, or integrated audio sequencer can do that easily , all that they want in term of precision ! .. .because there is not really an event mechanism... and in this way , it's easy to represent a file of Event with a precise time. Because the same computer manage the sequence and the module which recieve it and this same computer knows exactely the sequence. The problem is when there is different gears connected together and let them talk together in real time. to go into a full timestamped event handling is not a bad idea , especially if we want to work with big buffer (4096 or 16000 samples and so on) but i'm affraid it's not applicable on current commercial O/S. They are simply not able to do that in real time or we will have to provide with the GMPI all the necessary drivers to warrant the thread hierarchy and task scheduling. i'd prefer go into a complete new RT O/S instead :-) Vincent Burel ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Generalized Music Plugin Interface (GMPI) public discussion list Participation in this list is contingent upon your abiding by the following rules: Please stay on topic.
