Hi! Though I'm definitely not a coder (OK, a bit Python once in a while), I follow this list closely, especially all the Lumiera related stuff. And whenever things like "let's do X by using Y" come up, I hear litte alarm bells ring in my head. I always fear that Y - though it means to reuse existing functionality, which is a good thing - might be some hard to port/compile/configure, non-standard way of doing things.

As I understand it, the functionality is similar to what jack provides (correct me if I'm wrong). So although in this case, there is a really handy app - Ardour - that uses jack, I don't think this should bring in jack automatically for Lumiera sound backend, too. Well, it could, as long as there is a pulseaudio backend, too ;) Reuse is good, but reusing something that already is a duplication of existing functionality is not. But that's only from my limited (user) perspective. Let those decide who code. Andreas
