Hi!
I have created a second branch for new developments in aRts today. It was
more or less the only way to deal with the following two conflicting goals:
* KDE is in feature-freeze currently
* there is a talk held by Jan Wuerthner and me about aRts/Brahms at
LinuxTag2001 in a few weeks, and we're currently still working getting
some things implemented properly in aRts/Brahms
So to fulfill these, for kdemultimedia/arts there is now
HEAD:
* bugfixes only
* will be released with KDE2.2
ARTS_0_7_BRANCH:
* will contain new features
* will be merged back into HEAD after KDE2.2
If you want to update your CVS copy of aRts to the branch, do:
stefan@stefan:~/src$ cd kdemultimedia/arts
stefan@stefan:~/src/kdemultimedia/arts$ cvs update -r ARTS_0_7_BRANCH
Some goals for the branch/aRts-0.7.x unstable development are:
* environments (for sequencer integration: the sequencer creates an
environment with some devices, for instance a mixer and synthesizers,
that can be saved easily with all settings made there with the song
file, and restored later)
* software emulation of a multichannel mixer
* more work on aRts midi support (synchonization with audio, timing,
recording)
* harddisc recording
* ladspa support
* implement all features fully that were present in the last aRts/CORBA
(0.3.4.1) release, that is for instance
- reading/playing AKAI samples
- modifying instrument parameters while playing (instrument GUIs)
- recording from soundserver by a small program (old artsrec/artsmon)
- schedule cycles of modules properly
Here is a screenshot of the mixer code in ARTS_0_7_BRANCH:

Hope that makes everybody happy ;)
Cu... Stefan
